For Older HDB Apartment
Interior Design options for older HDB apartments has always been a challenge. Almost all the HDB apartments have exposed wirings and plumbing. Most buyers, at the advise of their interior designers spent money to conceal exposed areas by boxing up with plasterboard and false ceilings. Trying to make your HDB apartment look like a pristine condo apartment is understandable but not practical. What one should do with such an apartment is to work with the interior designers to make the best out the inherent character of the HDB flats. This approach to HDB design will save you time and money. We at Living Pod believe in interior design should be practical and authentic. Any interior design that has non functional elements to it, is not a successful design.
Todays post on Swedish Design is a perfect example of how you can apply this ideas to a typical HDB apartment in Singapore. We find Swedish interior design as comfortable, practical and easy on your budget. You can source most of your furniture from Ikea and style to suit your indigeneous taste.

This open floor apartment is great example of that. It’s located in small but very beautiful city Linnéstaden. The building where it’s located is quite old but the apartment is renovated so the contemporary interior design in addition to 3.40 meter ceilings make these 58 square meters of the living space very comfortable for those who own it.
Four windows facing west brings a lot of natural light into the apartment so it look much bigger than it is. The open floor plan is perfect for socializing and social interaction for owners and their friends. White painted walls and boarded wood floors are things that leaves an outstanding impression of cleanness and naturalism . For our local tropical climate you may want to consider ceramic tiles that looks like boarded wood.
An all cream and white bedding is not only well suited for this type of design , it is also refreshing and comfortable.
A small work cum study corner could be easily recreated in any HDB kitchen space.
Like typical HDB bathrooms the pipings are exposed , changing it to steel will make the plumbing works look neat.
