In recent years, industrial designs have gone from being restricted to old warehouses to gaining immense popularity in modern homes. While this particular style may suit many for its functionality, a full industrial theme with its raw and unfinished look for the entire house may not sit well with most. To soften the look, many home owners opt for soft materials and clean shapes in their furnishing; as seen in Scandinavian interiors. Renowned for their functionality and understated elegance, home owners utilise Scandinavian's simplicity to balance out the raw and edgy look of the industrial, giving birth to 'scandustrial' design.
We present 6 'scandustrial' homes in Singapore that have achieve the right balance with these two different themes.
1. The seamless mix of tiles that runs across the cement screed floor adds a creative touch of colours against the neutral shades prevalent in this home.

Location: Bukit Batok (HDB)
Cost of renovation for entire house: $55,000
2. The two elements are finely balanced in this home, where the strong industrial vibes given off by the black frames and grey screed walls are softened by the tasteful wooden furnishings and white painted brick-patterned walls.

Location: Dover Crescent (HDB)
Cost of renovation for entire house: $80,000
3. The various rooms, each with its own industrial style, are tied together with the use of the colour white (a top choice for Scandinavian styles) on the furnishings or the walls.
Interior Designer: three-d conceptwerke
Location: Toh Yi Drive (HDB)
Cost of renovation for entire house: $42,000
4. A great way to tie two decor styles together is to focus on similar shades of colours which are used in both styles. The designer of this landed property chose white, black and brown as the primary tones for its interiors while the owner wraps up the entire look with his collection of predominantly black and white portrait photos.
Interior Designer: Renozone Interior Design House
Location: Onan Road (Landed)
Cost of renovation for entire house: $130,000
5. Typical of Scandinavian designs, ample natural light is let in and minimal ornamentation is used to furnish this home. The wirings are deliberately encased in black piping, lending a raw yet polished finish to the entire space.
Interior Designer: Third Avenue Studio
Location: Tampines (HDB)
Cost of renovation for entire house: $70,000
6. Instead of a rusty red brick wall, the designer selected a pale shade of browns and yellows for the living room’s brick-patterned walls. This choice cleverly combines ‘scandi and industrial’ into one.
