Inside An Interior Designer’s Colour-Packed 5-Room HDB Built In The 1980s
In this week’s episode, Wee Hian, an insurance professional, and Ashley, an interior designer, showcase their design in a 1980s 5-room HDB flat. Spanning 118 square metres, this home is crafted for comfort, gatherings, and a vivid display of their personalities and collectables.
Homes like this are as much about the property underneath as the design on top. The right layout, block and tenure make renovations like these possible, or much harder to achieve later.
That’s often where we help readers: evaluating the property first, before committing to a big purchase.
Over time, that’s also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
The entrance features a wood-laminated door without a gate, leading to a foyer with terracotta tiles and increased grout lines for rustic charm.
A glass divider with a bright frame separates the living area while maintaining openness. Playful elements like curved settees and a storeroom with yellow French doors add character.
The common bathroom incorporates a hidden door, mirrors for spatial illusions, and neon lights for a party-ready vibe. The reduced kitchen uses a mix of bold cabinets, a marble backsplash, and a blue-framed door to achieve a vibrant aesthetic.
A spacious living and dining area connects seamlessly, with a customised oval sintered stone dining table for 14. Built-in cabinetry houses figurines, while a water dispenser enhances convenience. Curtains replace doors, continuing a feature from their previous home.
The guest room, formerly a balcony, includes a fitted platform and sofa bed, doubling as storage. Their bedroom maintains simplicity, serving as a serene retreat amidst this lively and functional home.
