8 Cool and Colourfully Scandi Spaces in HDB Flats
The past year has shown a break from the white-and-wood look, with designers bringing fun colour into the mix
2. A wintery pastel colour scheme in the living-dining area
Home: 4-room flat in Bukit Batok
Designer: Ben Teo, Sheldon Toh, and Joanna Chia of Mr Shopper Studio
Dog-friendly materials are disguised by the soft, cool hues used throughout this home. In the L-shaped open-plan living and dining area, the wintery pastel colour scheme is introduced through a statement-making geometric feature wall. The cool mint-sage hue is carried throughout the adjacent wall, balanced by white and blond wood elements. The other pastel colours on the feature wall – pale pink and blue-grey – are echoed through the carefully-selected furniture and accessories.

3. The wintery pastel colour scheme in the bedroom
… we couldn’t resist featuring another space from the above 4-room flat because it shows how well the same theme is carried through in the bedroom. Even as the cool mint-sage green is used on the wall here, the pale pink becomes more pronounced – giving this space a softer, cocooning ambience.

4. Pastel geometry in the dining zone
Home: 5-room flat in Telok Blangah
Designer: Leon Luo and Jovie Ong of Free Space Intent
Honeycomb floor tiles in the foyer in a variety of hues introduce colour immediately. They visually separate the living area from the dining area; a hanging bar also makes that demarcation. The colours are echoed by a mural of circles on the dining feature wall.

5. Zesty yellow in the kitchen
Home: Maisonette in Serangoon North
Designer: Kelvin Seow and Salley Gam of Xin Concept
In this cat-friendly home, a variety of wood grained surfaces are paired with white walls and bare concrete finishes for a Scandi-industrial effect. Pops of pale colour in different rooms create mood; in the kitchen a bright yellow brings in sunshine and cheer. It’s not just on the overhead cabinets, but in the cabinet backing and pull detailing as well.

6. A vintage effect in the foyer
Home: 4-room flat in Queenstown
Designer: Lee Pei Zhen of The Scientist
In the design brief for this home, the owners specified Scandinavian and vintage concepts as their preference. The designer brought this into the home through the geometric floor tiles in the foyer and a cosy blue-and-wood combination throughout the home. More geometry is built in through black framing.

7. A touch of blue goes a long way in the foyer
Home: 4-room flat in Upper Serangoon
Designer: Wilson Teng and Vandra Png of Studio FortyFour
The owners asked for pops of blue through their home, and the designers responded creatively like this house-shaped detail backing the shoe bench in the foyer. Elsewhere in the house, the blue details create an alpine effect on the wall, clad cabinets and appear as lamps.

8. Rosy amber highlights in the bedroom
Home: 4-room flat in Kallang/Whampoa
Designer: Johnny Huang of Urban Habitat Design
A Scandi style levelled up with colour was the owners’ request for their home; the designer applied it with a skilfully-restrained hand. In the master bedroom, the traditionally Scandinavian white-and-wood effect is updated with sophisticated touches of dark grey and rosy amber details.

Home: 4-room flat in Compassvale
Designer: Alex Chang of Ju Design Studio
A cool blue feature wall draws the eye from the bright, white space of the living area towards the dining area. It has an effect of both differentiating the two functions within the open layout, and at the same time, creating the illusion of a bigger space (the dull blue hue makes the dining wall recede visually). Bright orange pendant lamps, pale green rug and pouf, and sunny yellow stools add a cheery touch to this social space.
Blue feature walls together with white and wood finishes are also carried into the other rooms of this home for a cohesive, Scandi-inspired look.
