A Contemporary Take on Farmhouse Living
This 3-bedroom condo reinterprets the farmhouse aesthetic through a contemporary lens, shaping a home that feels both fresh and gently nostalgic. The light-toned palette creates a welcoming backdrop, allowing subtle country-inspired details to surface without overwhelming the home’s modern theme.
The living room and dining corner are bathed in natural light from generous windows, creating an inviting setting for everyday moments. Tucked beneath the windows, a built-in window seat doubles as concealed storage — a thoughtful addition that enhances both comfort and practicality without disrupting the home’s visual flow.
The kitchen is enclosed with half-height glass panels and a glass door, striking a careful balance between openness and separation. Within, shaker-style carpentry and open shelving nod to classic farmhouse design, while clean lines and restrained finishes keep the space firmly contemporary. Functional storage solutions are seamlessly integrated, from pull-out trays for appliances and spice racks to deep drawers thoughtfully layered with inner shallow compartments.
Across all bathrooms, the same cream-toned palette continues, reinforcing a sense of calm and visual continuity throughout the home.
Together, these elements create a home that feels warm yet refined — a contemporary farmhouse apartment that is thoughtfully designed for modern living.
Interior Designer’s Thoughts
The homeowners envisioned a creamy, light-toned home infused with a sense of nostalgia inspired by the husband’s grandmother’s house, which naturally led the design style towards a contemporary farmhouse direction. From the outset, the challenge was to balance those sentimental references with a clean, modern approach, ensuring the space felt fresh rather than overly rustic. By keeping the palette light and cohesive, the interior designer was able to layer in subtle country-inspired details — such as shaker profiles and open shelving — while maintaining a calm, refined atmosphere suited to modern condo living.
Beyond aesthetics, functionality played an equally important role in shaping the home. Each space was carefully planned to feel intuitive and effortless, with built-in elements designed to maximise storage while preserving visual lightness.
In the bathrooms, a hotel-style brief guided the design approach, resulting in clean lines, minimal detailing, and a restrained palette that prioritises clarity and ease of maintenance.
The outcome is a home that balances nostalgia with clean, practical design for everyday comfort.
