Punggol has been the hotbed for young couples looking to build their love nests in recent years. Therefore, it's little wonder that many well-designed homes are starting to sprout in the area.
We present eight beautiful homes fit for any interior design magazine. And the best part? These projects all cost $50,000 or less.
Design Practice
Cost: $30,000
The red brick feature wall is quaint, but the most interesting element in this apartment is really the massive floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. The use of wood also features heavily in this apartment to give it a down-to-earth, comfortable appeal.
Fuse Concept
Cost: $50,000
This cheerful home with an open concept blurs the distinction between the kitchen, dining and living areas. The screen curtains let in plenty of sunlight, making the apartment look even more spacious.
Euphoric Design
Cost: $50,000
Wood features strongly in this contemporary-styled apartment. The layered shelves create interesting shapes while acting as a subtle centerpiece to the living area.
Altitude Living
Cost: $25,000
This Parisian-style home is beautiful in its simplicity and the use of muted, monochromatic colors create a clean and elegant look.
Boon Siew D’Sign
Cost: $47,000
This apartment is wonderfully whimsical, using carefully selected art pieces, photo frames and pops of colors to bring out the owners' playful personalities. The blinds allow plenty of sunlight into the house, invoking a light-hearted airiness to the space.
Ideal Design Interior
Cost: $32,500
The designers used a black and white theme, with parquet floors to soften the drama of the contrasting colors. The result is a subtly elegant apartment that looks welcoming at the same time.
Quirky Idees
Cost: $40,000
A haven for neat freaks, this apartment's standout is probably the highly compartmentalized and structured walk-in wardrobe. The pops of green are a nice touch to break up the monotony of the full black shelves.
Space Define
Cost: $46,000
Earthy colors and furniture add warmth and comfort
to this home. The clever use of printed wallpaper on the feature wall provides interest and texture to the living area, while hacking of a wall provides a much more spacious bedroom shared with a study area - perfect for a young, working couple.
