8 Homes Proving That Sometimes, The Best Design Element is The View

When your view’s this good, interior design just sets the stage.

When a home comes with a view worth showing off, the smartest thing you can do is frame (and therefore accentuate) it well.

From high-rise apartments with skyline panoramas to BTOs overlooking the sea, these homes show how interior design choices — like furnishings that complement the vista, open layouts, and seamless transitions — can make the view part of the home’s design story.

1. This Northshore BTO flat with a sweeping sea view

When your living room opens up to an endless panorama of the sea, you don’t need much else to impress. This Northshore BTO flat was designed to take full advantage of its waterfront view — using fluted panels on the walls and ceiling to literally frame the view.

Instead of the typical living-dining layout, the homeowners opted for a long communal table facing the windows, blurring the lines between work, dining, and leisure. The result: a calm, light-filled space where the sea becomes part of daily life.

All in all, it’s a perfect example of the exterior informing interior design.

2. This home that reflects the façade of Reflections at Keppel Bay

In a home that sits within one of Singapore’s most architecturally striking condominium developments, it’s only fitting that the interiors echo the sculptural lines and mirrored surfaces outside. Here, soft daylight filters through expansive glass panels, bouncing gently off warm timber and creamy neutrals to create a mellow, cinematic glow.

The living and dining areas flow seamlessly, framed by wide windows that capture the building’s glimmering façade — an ever-changing artwork of glass and light.

It’s a space that plays with reflection in every sense — elegant yet grounded, where the view outside becomes an integral part of the home’s quiet sophistication.

3. A condo bedroom at Shenton Way with a panoramic view

With a view that sweeps across the sea and skyline, this Shenton Way condo bedroom is a masterclass in understated luxury.

Floor-to-ceiling curved windows wrap the space in natural light, creating a serene backdrop that shifts with the day. Sheer curtains then shield the owners from any excessive glare in the day, while blackout curtains can be drawn when the owners require more privacy.

Additionally, the built-in platform bed was custom-fitted to follow the room’s arc, blending seamlessly into the bay window.

Every element in this bedroom feels intentional — curved lines that mirror the window’s form, warm timber that softens the view, and textures that invite stillness. It’s a space that doesn’t just frame the view, but slows you down long enough to truly take it in.

4. A Marsiling executive flat with stunning cityscape views

Perched high above the northern skyline, this executive flat in Marsiling offers an unexpected kind of city view. To make the most of it, the homeowners reconfigured the layout into a seamless open plan where every corner faces the lights of the city.

Dark wood beams and muted tones frame the nightscape like a cinematic backdrop, turning the living area into the home’s quiet highlight. Meanwhile, a swing chair wrapped in fairy lights and a pair of bar stools are well-positioned beside the window for taking in the view.

Even the bedroom takes advantage of the view, with a raised platform bed against the window. The result? A home that feels both intimate and expansive — showing that even in older flats, good design can open up an entire skyline.

5. This home at Parc Oasis overlooking Jurong Lake

Set against the lush backdrop of Jurong Lake, this living room feels like a tranquil retreat above the trees. The curved bay windows — a signature of older developments — have been turned into the home’s defining feature, framing panoramic views that shift in tone from sunrise to dusk.

Instead of competing with the scenery, the design leans into understated warmth with restraint. Neutral walls, soft cove lighting, and marble floors create a quiet sophistication, while earthy wood tones in the console and coffee table ground the space. Together, they form a serene living area where the lake beyond becomes a natural extension of the home itself.

6. A perfect frame of the East Coast seaview at Costa Del Sol

Few things rival waking up to an endless horizon — and this home at Costa Del Sol condo captures that feeling perfectly. The living room’s full-height windows open up to sweeping views of the East Coast shoreline, where ships dot the water like a living painting.

Inside, the neutral palette and soft marble tones reflect the calmness of the sea beyond. Subtle classic detailing on the walls adds just the right touch of character, while sheer curtains diffuse natural light to create a relaxed, sunlit glow. It’s the kind of home where the view naturally takes over — effortless, open, and just the right amount of serene.

7. This home at The Interlace with views from every room

True to its name, The Interlace stands out for its striking stacked-block architecture — a design that gives every room a unique vantage point. This home takes full advantage of that, with wide and tall windows drawing the viewer’s gaze to the lush greenery as well as distinctive geometry of the neighbouring blocks.

Each room offers its own version of the view — whether it’s the bedroom with corner windows that wrap around the building’s terraces, the study where a built-in bay seat overlooks the cascading façade, or the bathroom where the mirror itself is set against a window.

Together, they form a living space that feels open, light-filled, and deeply connected to its surroundings — and go to show that when architecture and interior design align, you don’t just get a view, you get a story.

8. This home at The Arcadia that feels like a holiday villa

Nestled amid lush greenery in Bukit Timah, this home at The Arcadia offers the kind of breezy, resort-like charm you’d expect from a weekend villa. Its spacious balcony is cleverly divided into two zones by a subtle partition — one side styled for lounging and conversation, the other as a tranquil corner with a swinging daybed overlooking the treetops.

Here, the design stays deliberately simple so the view can take the spotlight. With its wood-panelled ceiling, woven furnishings, and greenery-lined perimeter, the space exudes a relaxed warmth that blurs the line between indoors and out.

Whether it’s morning coffee or an evening drink, this balcony captures the best of outdoor living — calm, intimate, and a reminder that you don’t need to leave home to feel like you’re on holiday.
