Softly lit and gracefully layered, this four room HDB flat at Serangoon Ave 3 weaves contemporary elegance with quiet cultural touches, creating a warm, personal sanctuary enriched with a sense of history and heart.

Inspired by the homeowners’ love for subtle Peranakan charm, the home unfolds in a palette of light wood tones, crisp whites, gentle greys, and rose gold accents — brought to life through patterned tiles, curated textures, and a bespoke niche designed to showcase a cherished horse sculpture.

Function meets feeling at every turn: a glass framed open kitchen with a cosy breakfast counter and coffee station invites daily connection, while a playful cat niche adds both joy and personality. In the common bathroom, spatial limitations were cleverly overcome by reconfiguring the layout to fit a basin, proving that even constraints can lead to smart creativity.

The result? A bright, inviting space that celebrates everyday living with soul, subtlety, and a spark of something truly personal.
