Redesigning your HDB with The Local INN.terior: An Inside look at Unique Interior designing

When taking on HDB interior design projects, it is not simply a matter of choosing furniture and picking colors. It encompass designing spaces that highlight the unique character of the individual, the way of life of the person and concerning the features of Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats in Singapore. At The Local INN.terior, we pride ourselves in helping turn these spaces into personal havens that are not only stylish but also practical, where every house is more than just a structure, but a haven.

Defining the Basic Concept of HDB Interior Design

An HDB flat is a quintessentially Singaporean dwelling; it blends a sense of community with privacy. Types of flats also range from small two-room designs to big five-room ones of various shapes and sizes each carrying different design prospects. Understanding such spaces and developing their still unexploited possibilities is the main secret of HDB interior decoration design success.

The Local INN.terior provides HDB flat upgrades into havens of style and practicality. This is because even though they grade as the same type of unit, every HDB particularly a new BTO flat and a resale flat has its own distinguished features. When we design the interiors, we begin with a study of space, its orientation, its natural light, and ventilation, and who will occupy the space.

Design for an Active Person

Personalization is also the core of The Local INN. terior’s mission. People are different; so do houses and their owners. Modular tendons / cross-section: average design emphasizes maximum sensibility, or their units work even in the most practical level them within houses more fan adjusted.

Space maximization and clever utilization of storage may be prioritized when designing, say, a 3-room flat. In some cases, light materials and straight lines have been used for minimal designs to brighten up the room and make it seem more expansive. On the contrary, a 5-room flat may be focused on excessive designs, with more ornamental items that may include decorative items, complex shapes and bright colors, and artistic or fitted furniture.

Talents and Technology in Beautiful Harmony

The Local INN.terior utilizes towards embracing and repositioning of HDB interior design. In our view, good design goes beyond appreciating the beauty of a space, but appreciating the deployment of every part within a space. To this end, all design elements are purposively incorporated towards making the residents more comfortable, enhancing the usability of the space, or just eliciting happiness among the occupants.

Consider, for instance in an open where both the living and dining areas are incorporated, custom cabinetry would probably be employed to blend in the two spaces as well as providing extra kitchen space. Home automation is a prime example of this type of home innovation. This is where different systems within the house allow the homeowner to turn on lighting, control the air conditioning, and secure the house with several buttons.

The Role of Sustainability in Contemporary Design

Sustainability in the context of design has evolved from being a mere subsidiary to an integral part of the industry. The Local INN.terior understands the need to not only design beautiful and functional homes but also consider their impact on the environment. All policies and decisions including choice of materials, the design plan and even interior design plan held this policy very closely.

We believe in creating a positive impact on the environment by using fairly eco-friendly materials as reclaimed wood, bamboo, and low VOC paints. Energy efficiency is another important factor in focusing on natural lighting, energy saving devices or appliances, and smart home technologies that rely on optimal energy use.

A Collaborative Design Process

At The Local INN.terior design of an HDB flat is collective effort. It is our experience that home owners are the best advocates of design and thus all projects should include them actively. We have a very systematic approach and within the entire project cycle from the consultation through to the handover stage, clients’ inputs are incorporated.

This collaborative strategy, in which each party does their share and extends even to the smallest details of the design is, however, NOT conventional to all. Some of the homeowners realize that when it comes to design, it is easier to impose one’s desires on the elements rather than mask undesirable designs.

Clever Strategies for Making the Most out of Small Spaces

Maximizing available space is an issue that most often arises in the interior designing of residential HDB units. BTO flats are quite the same as other BTO flats since their spatial compositions are small-scale, thus demand for creative design solutions. The Local INN.terior focuses on small spaces, which are innovative, visually soothing, stylish and comfortable.

Multi-purpose design strategy employs the use of sofas that easily converts to beds, folding tables that expand, built-in wardrobes, and beds with storage underneath. We also apply design principles such as open shelving, glass partitions, and light colors to give an ‘enlarged’ way of thinking even in tiny little places.

Why Aesthetics is Important in HDB Interior Design

There are also important factors in HDB interior designing beside the practicality of space planning, and these factors are beauty. The beauty of a home is as important given that a house is not only supposed to be functional, but it should also be satisfying in terms of aesthetics. The Local INN.terior is actively involved in the design of spaces that are not only stunning to look at, but also include details that speak of the preferences and personalities of the house owners.

This is accomplished by appropriately choosing colors, materials, and finishes which not only suit each other, but the design concept as well. From the sleek clean lines of a modern kitchen featuring quartz stone counters and stainless steel appliances to a living room with exposed brick and timber beams, our designs are forever responsive to the homeowners’ tastes.

Case Study: Restyling a 4 Room HDB Flat

In order to exemplify our philosophy of HDB interior design let us focus our attention on the case study. One such case study is the renovation of a 4 room HDB unit in Punggol. The clients, a newlywed couple with a modernist bent, were keen on having a beautiful and usable space that could cater to their socialising needs.

The first step we took was to change the shape of the house from a separate living, dining, and kitchen areas to an open plan of living-dining-kitchen area. This required the removal of all non-load bearing walls and the installation of a built kitchen island that acts both as a cooking counter and a dining area. Because we wanted to promote flow from room to room, we chose to have one type of flooring throughout the room and used neutral colors accentuated with colorful artworks and other decorative pieces.

In the master bedroom, we incorporated a walk-in wardrobe with built-in shelves and drawers that made it easier to increase their storage space without creating messes in the room. The bathroom was transformed into a spa-like experience with the installation of natural stone tiles, a rain showerhead, and a floating vanity with under-counter lighting.

All said and done, the end product was a stylish home that was very well responsive to the home owners and demonstrated the maximum potential of HDB interior designs.
