There’s an undeniable charm to a resale landed property in Ang Mo Kio. For homeowners, the allure lies not just in the space and structure but in the potential for transformation—a chance to breathe new life into a place with history. However, this journey isn’t without its hurdles. Older properties often come with hidden problems: outdated layouts, worn finishes, and a mismatch between traditional structures and contemporary living needs. These issues can leave homeowners feeling overwhelmed, questioning whether they can create a home that reflects their style and meets modern standards.

 

From concept to completion, our award-winning designers craft bespoke interiors that reflect your personality.

At SHE Interior, we believe in transforming challenges into opportunities. Our approach to interior design focuses on creating spaces that not only meet aesthetic and functional needs but also resonate emotionally with homeowners.

Understanding Transitional Design

Transitional design is about balance. It marries the clean lines and simplicity of modern design with the warmth and comfort of traditional aesthetics. In the Ang Mo Kio project, we focused on maintaining this delicate balance. The color palette of neutral tones, such as soft beiges and warm grays, set a calm and inviting tone throughout the home. We chose modern furniture pieces with classic silhouettes, ensuring that each element complemented the other without overpowering the space.

For instance, the living room featured a blend of sleek, modern sofas paired with traditional wooden accents. This mix not only added visual interest but also provided comfort and functionality—a must for any family home. The artwork and decorative pieces were carefully selected to add character and personality without overwhelming the space. Each piece was chosen not just for its aesthetic appeal but for its ability to tell a story, making the home feel uniquely personal.

 

Design Highlights of the Ang Mo Kio Home

The design journey in Ang Mo Kio began with the living room, the heart of the home. Here, the neutral color palette played a crucial role in creating a serene atmosphere. The sofas, upholstered in soft, neutral fabrics, provided a comfortable and stylish seating area. The addition of accent pillows in various textures and patterns added depth and interest, making the space feel cozy and lived-in.

One of the standout features was the custom-designed feature wall. This element not only served as a visual focal point but also tied together the traditional and modern aspects of the design. The wall was adorned with a blend of modern abstract art and classic framed pieces, creating a dynamic yet harmonious visual experience. The careful placement of lighting fixtures further enhanced this effect, casting a warm glow that highlighted the textures and colors of the artwork.

The layout was thoughtfully planned to maximize functionality. The furniture arrangement allowed for easy movement and created distinct zones for relaxation and entertainment. This thoughtful design ensured that the space felt open and welcoming, accommodating both quiet family moments and larger social gatherings.

Material and Finishing Choices

In crafting a transitional design, the choice of materials and finishes is pivotal. For this project, we leaned towards high-quality, durable materials that exude a timeless appeal. The flooring, a rich wooden parquet, added warmth and elegance, complementing the neutral walls and furnishings. We opted for marble accents in the kitchen and bathrooms, adding a touch of luxury without overpowering the space.

Each material was selected not only for its aesthetic value but also for its practicality. For instance, the use of durable, easy-to-clean surfaces ensured that the home remained beautiful and functional, catering to the busy lifestyle of the homeowners. The finishes were meticulously applied, with attention to detail that ensured a flawless result. This meticulous approach is a hallmark of SHE Interior’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Challenges and Solutions

Renovating a resale property always comes with its set of challenges. For this project, one of the main challenges was updating the layout to better suit modern living while preserving the home’s original charm. The outdated structure posed difficulties in incorporating contemporary elements without losing the essence of the home’s character.

To address these challenges, we employed a creative approach. For instance, we retained some of the original architectural features, such as the ceiling beams and certain wall structures, while integrating new, modern elements that enhanced functionality and aesthetics. This blend ensured that the home retained its unique charm while offering all the conveniences of modern living. Our team worked closely with the homeowners to understand their vision and preferences, ensuring that the final design reflected their lifestyle and tastes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why should I hire an interior design firm when I can manage the renovation myself?
    Sure, some homeowners prefer to DIY or coordinate with contractors directly—but here’s the thing: renovation in Singapore isn’t just about choosing tiles or paint. It’s about permits, HDB guidelines, space planning, lighting, and hundreds of decisions that can quickly become overwhelming. Hiring a firm means having a team that takes care of everything—project management, technical compliance, and design synergy—so you avoid costly mistakes and delays. More time for you, less stress, and a stunning result that looks like it came from a magazine? That’s a win.
    Isn’t hiring an ID firm expensive?
    It depends on who you work with. Not all ID firms are out to burn your wallet. A good firm will help you make smarter, cost-effective decisions that stay within budget without cutting corners. Plus, our transparent pricing means no hidden costs—just value for every dollar spent. Sometimes, spending wisely now saves you from overspending later.
    What if I already have my own ideas or moodboard? Will the ID still help?
    Absolutely—we love when homeowners bring their vision to the table! Think of us as your creative partner. We take your inspiration and elevate it with layout planning, material sourcing, and cohesive styling to ensure it works in real life, not just on Pinterest. Our job isn’t to override your ideas, but to bring them to life beautifully and practically.
    How long will the renovation take if I hire an ID firm?
    With an ID firm, timelines are managed professionally. While every project varies, having a team to coordinate with vendors, contractors, and suppliers keeps everything on track. You won’t have to chase after multiple parties—we do the heavy lifting, so you can move in faster and smoother.
    How do I know if an ID firm is reliable?
    Great question. Look out for HDB-licensed firms, transparent reviews, detailed portfolios, and clear contracts. A reliable ID firm won’t just promise a good-looking home—they’ll prove it with process, professionalism, and people who genuinely care about your home. Ask about past projects and how they handle after-sales service. That’s where true reliability shows.
