Wall moulding gives this home a bold design statement

Selection of the right paint colours is the simplest approach to alter the appearance of the size of your space. While dark colours can make your space appear smaller, the light colours tend to give it an illusion of space. If you want to make a tiny room feel bigger, think about using light blue, light grey, or white hues, just like this home. This classic interior design in Jurong West Central is adorned in neutral colours that give this home quite a spacious appearance.

Another interesting feature in this home’s layout is the signature wall moulding. This design element is uncommon in Singaporean homes but it makes a bold design statement. These mouldings are mostly used to hide gaps and joints to give the home a flawless appearance. These are perfect design elements to give this 3-room HDB renovation in Jurong West Central Singapore a traditional facelift. Now we know why the living room is the homeowners’ favourite space!

Approximate cost range for these design elements: $11,000 to $15,000

The vanity area has storage cabinets adorned in white to match the rest of the white colour scheme of the room.  Another key highlight feature of this master bathroom is the use of wood for the shower equipment and storage. It adds both to the convenience and the functionality.

Approximate cost range for these design elements: $3,000 to $7,000
