House Tour: A lavish Victorian-style five-room HDB flat
This HDB five-room flat in Hougang was transformed into an intimate, classical abode, thanks to the mastery of interior design firm Three-D Conceptwerke. The homeowners, a couple in their 50s, are fond of Victorian-esque interiors – from ornate cornices to dramatic furnishings – and had requested a similarly luxurious, yet modern look.
The layout of the 1,400sqf flat allowed for a foyer, with an arch door frame and a customised vintage-look console that sets the scene. As the Victorian era was known for its elaborate gardens, the couple wanted their own, too; a water feature clad in artificial plants and roses was a vibrant addition to the pristine white-gold interiors.
Plush velvet furnishings frame the living room, while a glass chandelier and classical painting in the dining room – which was previously a bedroom – imbue a lavish atmosphere.
The couple chose a textured wallpaper for the master bedroom walls.
The opening to the master bedroom was also torn down to make space for a walk-in wardrobe, which was wainscoted to match the rest of the home’s Victorian-style features.
