Qanvast Home Features that Went Viral on Instagram in 2024

Amidst all that Moo Deng and galvanised square steel content.

Instagram may have started out as a photo-sharing app, but reels have since come to form a large proportion of content consumed on the platform globally – so much so that it’s giving TikTok a run for its money.

With that, we’ve rounded up the most-viewed home feature reels on Qanvast’s Instagram in 2024, each with over a whopping 500,000 views. Let’s have a look:

This 3-room BTO in Kallang with a modern Japanese aesthetic | 3M views

Adopting a purist approach to Japanese interior design (read: not Japandi), this 3-room BTO’s resemblance to a modern ryokan is simply uncanny.

Plus, its features are space-saving too. Think shoji doors that eliminate the need for swing clearance, or a tatami lifting table that can be retracted to transform the dining area into a multipurpose platform when not in use.

Coupled with the fact that Singaporeans love all things Japanese, it comes as no surprise that this home takes the top spot.

This DINK couple’s colourful and quirky walk-up apartment in Farrer Park | 1.9M views

We get the appeal of neutrals: they’re inoffensive, easy to match, and will never go out of style. But in the words of the owner of this walk-up apartment, “Though neutral palettes look nice in homes I’ve visited, some can feel like showrooms – it’s just not my aesthetic. I love eclectic interiors and playing with colours.”

Fun, quirky and not your typical home, we absolutely see why you guys like it too.

This ‘cave hotel’ in Punggol that’s actually a 4-room BTO | 1.1M views

Seeing as Singaporeans love going on holidays, hotel-like homes are always a hit. Sporting a dark and moody aesthetic, this BTO also has a custom glass block island and an artificial stone wall cladding for a ‘cave look’ that’s equal parts elegant and rugged.

This open-concept wabi-sabi resale flat in Pasir Ris | 1M views

With soft, earthy tones and organic textures for a cosy and timeless quality, wabi-sabi interiors have been all the rage in 2024.

Trending looks aside, this 5-room resale flat at Pasir Ris has an uber-spacious open-concept communal area, while its bedrooms are ‘hidden’ behind double leaf doors for both a seamless aesthetic and privacy when hosting. Hat trick? We think so.

This ‘warm brutalist’ 4-room BTO in Eunos | 528K views

While its highlight is undoubtedly the MASSIVE display shelf in the living and dining area, this next home also has well-thought out features like a pet-friendly sink for showering the owners’ dog, a bay window that doubles as a slim vanity and more.

No wonder it took the owners 5 years of careful research and planning before arriving at the final look – and the results are totally worth it, if you ask us.

This rare HDB maisonette in Hougang that cost $300K to renovate | 524K views

As with all things rare (given that HDB stopped building them in 2000), maisonettes have long piqued the interest of homeowners in Singapore.

Throw in a 6m high ceiling with unblocked views, a ribbon-shaped staircase and a generous $300,000 renovation budget, and you get a definite crowd-pleaser with this maisonette in Hougang.
