As soon as you enter this home, you’ll immediately feel a sense of welcoming. It has a predominantly white foundation with light wood accents in order to give it a cosy feel. We also used clean lines and neutral accents to give it a contemporary feel. However, this home also has a minimalist touch that prioritises functionality and practicality. The living room of this Japanese-inspired, 3-room design in Margaret Drive is adorned in beige, sand, cream, taupe and stone colours – all elements that are reminiscent of Japanese interiors.

Natural materials are used for furniture to maintain sustainability

Since we are talking about functionality, open concept layouts are the best for compact homes. They not only make the home look spacious but also enforce good communication among the house members.

In order to maintain sustainability, Japanese culture places a strong focus on the quality of the materials used in any furniture. Our Livspace designers have chosen natural-material furniture and pieces in neutral colours in order to maintain the Japanese interior design vibes in this 3-room flat design in Margaret Drive Singapore. However, to maintain the visual symmetry, we used curved shapes like circular rattan pendant lights and plant pots to neutralise the sharp edges of furniture.

Add extra shelves to compact kitchens to make them storage-efficient

In order to maintain the continuity, the kitchen cabinets are finished with the same materials used across the living and dining rooms. This compact yet practical parallel kitchen in this HDB BTO 3-room flat design in Margaret Drive supports the family of three. Also, the white laminate countertop with white backsplash maintains the zen vibes. 

One side of the kitchen includes both wet and dry areas, and the parallel side has equipment like a refrigerator and a few shelves for storage. Afterall, what is a compact kitchen without storage?

A simple yet practical bathroom design for this 3-room BTO design in Margaret Drive

The Livspace team used large and plain white tiles in order to maintain the bathroom’s simple aesthetic. We concealed the large water pipes under cabinets, where they can still be reached easily even though they are out of sight. Also, the vanity cabinet makes the bathroom storage intensive. However, we kept the basin area and the mirror designs simple so that space doesn’t look cluttered.
