Welcome to Tampines’s Trendiest Apartment
Imagine walking into a space that feels like you’ve just stepped into a chic gallery, but with the cozy vibe of a grandma’s kitchen. That’s the first impression of this Tampines HDB apartment, where design isn’t just about the looks—it’s about making your living routine feel like a treat.
Meet the Design Maestro
George Wan of Control Space Design decked out this home to strike the perfect balance between function and form. Think of him as the architect who tells your furniture and walls, “You belong here, and it’s totally your space.”
Key Features That Get the Job Done (and Looking Good)
- Grand Entrance Foyer – A roomy partition draws folks away from obvious show‑pieces but keeps the vibe inviting.
- Dining Room Privacy Hack – The same partition acts as a barrier that gives diners a whisper‑quiet nook.
- Open Shelving – Because nobody likes hoarding. It doubles as a decorative storage for your ugly mugs, plant pots, or the mystery cup you’ll never use.
- Faux Brick Walls – A kitchen side wall and a TV console backdrop become the palace’s “eye‑catchers,” creating a dramatic splash that pulls everyone’s gaze to the center.
Why This Zest Matters
When you combine a real‑estate splash with practical layouts, your home becomes a blend of comfort and flair. You can cook in a space that feels bold, toast in front of a striking wall, and still find your kitchen gadgets tucked neatly on those smart shelves—a design that says, “Peel away the ordinary, keep the extraordinary.”
Stepping into the Future
With every wall you glance at and every shelf you utilize, the apartment whispers, “You’ve stayed in the right spot. Keep moving, keep living.” It’s not just a room—it’s your colorful, practical companion for all those mornings and evenings. Happy living!
Picture This: Your Living Room Turns Into a Cozy Glow‑Glam Haven
Imagine stepping into a living room that looks like it was born in a fairy‑tale!
What’s Happening?
- The lights are backlit, giving that golden‑hued glow.
- Every corner feels warm and inviting—like a hug from a reliable sofa.
- It’s the perfect setting for pizza nights, binge‑watch marathons, or just marinating in a little self‑care.
Why This Works
The subtle brightness dims the harsh glare but keeps the space lively. It’s “tilt‑toward‑warmth” without turning the entire room into night‑time.
Quick Tips to Get That Glow
- Use LED strips around the edge of the sofa or beneath the coffee table.
- Choose a color palette that’s close to amber or earth tones.
- Add a few plush throws and the right lighting, and voilà—instant mood upgrade.
So, whether you’re hosting friends or simply chilling out, let those backlit lights put the living room on the “warmth” bandwagon. It’s modern, it’s comfy, and yes, it’s a bit magical.

Keeping it Simple
Stove & sink, set to the latest stainless‑steel trend; but the real star is the wood‑look laminate that coats the cabinets. Think of it as espresso‑dark espresso‑light breath: no fuss, just pure charm.
Why it works
- The laminate is easy to clean – no need for a scrubber to chase stains. A quick wipe is all it takes.
- It mimics real wood without the expensive price tag, giving you that warm, cozy feel.
- It stays light and airy, so those natural light rays don’t feel too heavy.
Final Verdict
With a dash of sass and a splash of color, this kitchen proves that simplicity can still be a stylish accomplice to everyday cooking adventures.
