Perched on top of a 34-story complex, their unit comes with many perks. This includes a clear view of the community, which is especially delightful at night. At daytime, they can enjoy the abundance of natural light in their space.

Enlisting Monloft interior designer Joseph, Jeremy and Sharon planned for a nesting place that will fit their lifestyle as a couple. Being lovers of the laidback life, they lean towards clean monochromes and a sleek, minimalist look.

They want something fuss-free and easy to use, but they don’t want their space to look bare. With that, the couple requested a subtle feeling of luxury in their space.

Both Jeremy and Sharon were pleased and approved our design. All set, we proceeded with the renovation and implemented a luxury white monochrome theme for their interior.

on the top and bottom of the console, adding an ambient glow in the living space. Installing the marble feature wall and laminate backdrop creates a timeless appeal, adding a breath-taking value to the home.

OPEN-CONCEPT STUDY ROOM To create a bigger space, we hacked down one of the bedroom’s wall to convert the area into an open-concept study room. From here, Jeremy and Sharon can view both the living room and dining area. We don’t want to stick to just white; black complements the colour perfectly, and with that, we used this for tone for the aluminium glass door. It nicely frames with glass panels that create a stylish look. To boost more of the textures, we used a metallic faux-effect wallpaper on the feature wall. Finishing the look, we installed L-shaped cabinets in white laminate for a surprisingly classy charm.

DINING AREA Both Jeremy and Sharon enjoy eating together. They bought a marble glass dining table paired with stainless steel legs – this choice blends well with the entire motif. For a unique take, we added fun, clear acrylic chairs, making the area feel spacious. Hung above the table is a set of lovely pendant lights that illuminate the centrepiece. Furthering that off, we added a customised full-length mirror with marble finishing. Not only is this a tasteful addition; it also helps to check their appearance before heading out!

KITCHEN AREA A little break from the white, the kitchen area is themed with a splash of neat grey. White in the kitchen may seem finnicky, but grey makes it feel utilitarian. We added matte grey laminate cabinets to complement the white countertop. Then, we paired it off with a glass backsplash to create a clean look. To make use of the natural light, we added an aluminium framed glass window, making the space look brighter and bigger. The choice for the appliances harmonizes well with the colour, making the motif easy on the eye.

The clean colour choices and the way they manipulated the space made our home feel chic and luxurious, we look forward coming home each day knowing that it is a place where we can be at ease and feel indulgent at the same time.

MASTER BEDROOM Last but not the least, we treated Jeremy and Sharon’s sanctuary with every bit of luxury. Instead of pure white, we echoed the study room’s metallic faux-effect texture wallpaper on the entire room. We added a full-height built-in wardrobe, complete with a tinted glass swing door so they can easily see their essentials. At night, the warm light, courtesy of the elegant chandelier, make the room warm and cosy. At daytime, they can pull the metallicthemed curtains for a cleaner, classier look 0 6 M O N O L O F T // VO L 6 . J A N
