NEVER TOO SMALL: Bold, Two Toned Small Apartment, Singapore - 47sqm/505sqft

In the quiet, residential neighbourhood of Ghim Moh Link, Singapore, Project 26 was designed by interior design studio Resistance with a dramatic first impression in mind. The entryway features a floor to ceiling dark green palette that flows directly into the kitchen where it’s accented with a white backsplash and blue countertop. The bold colour separates the kitchen and laundry from the rest of the home, and designates it an ‘active’ space in contrast to the soft white palette of the living areas. The living room itself has raised furniture and concealed storage to maximise the feeling of space, and this continues into the bedroom where large windows and adjustable storage allow for future flexibility. A bifold door to the bathroom opens up yet more floor space, and white tiles throughout enlarge the room visually. This consistent look paired with materials selected for their ability to patina over time, give the home an authentic, warm feeling perfectly fit for a small home in an area making room for newer, younger residents.

I love seeing color. Not all minimalist spaces need to be white and natural wood. This is a great visual design choice.

I love the detail of tucking away the light switches and power sockets in the kitchen under/tucked inside the cabinets. I am gonna take a note of that and probably implement it when it is my turn.

Holy crap. I love the consideration of the aging of the apartment. The kitchen is a character itself. Also, I love how deliberate the colours are in this apartment. It's bold but it works!

I really like the concept of coming into the unit in a "darkened" area and then walking into a very bright open space. Makes the light area feel so much bigger. Blue countertops are a major plus and very unexpected. For me, I would have enclosed the closet area in the bedroom just because of my clutter at times. Great small space with so much storage. A++

Colour drenched rooms look SO GOOD when done well!
I love how the floor tiles, cabinetry and paint all match - not just with colour but sheen also. Bravo!

[AdeleMcAlear]

This is just a wonderful design! I loved how they tucked the fridge, washing machine, ovens & storage into the part of the kitchen that can't be seen from the rest of the apartment. Same with clothes in the bedroom. And SO MUCH STORAGE! The bold colour works so well.

The best thing about this appartment is the little frog, it is soo cute

On every NTS video, I'm capturing some clever nuggets that I'll use in our place. Well done to all who worked on Project26.

[JamesRyanGonzales]

I love how clean and airy this home yet serving character with that green.

[tabeamb]

Maybe one of my favourite designs I have ever seen on this channel ❤

[MidnightSun-ju]

I mean it's so so clever, it looks double 😍 the size for small space & I ❤ it! One of the best NTS 👌

[kenisanidiot]

Love that contrast of colours to divide the space

"It can be a joy living in small spaces." I do and I agree.

So many thoughtful choices in this beautiful apartment, I found myself irrationally pleased by the placement of the bar for drying clothes; and the storage in the living room which hides 'clutter' but also ensured everything inside was clearly visible and therefore usable.

This is one of my favourites though I'd personally choose a slightly different colour scheme.

You will find many beautiful small homes in Singapore as 80% of the local population lives in apartments called HDB flats. and most of these HDB flats are less than 100 sqm in size. Hope this channel features more homes from Singapore

I love the color palette and how sharp it is painted!. Green is beautiful! This home feels contemporary yet still approachable.

[ghostgirl]

I love that it is both colorful and neutral. Minimalist yet interesting, and more than a boring blank canvas.

I watch all the Never Too Small videos. Love seeing how much space can be had in small spaces. I'd like to recommend adding into the description under the video, the cost to renovate each of these smaller spaces. It would be helpful to know the cost.

[zielonakota]

This green is so beautiful! And the navy blue countertops are a bull's eye! This is a great fit!

[haebee]

this is what separates the pro designers from the wannabes. i especially love the dark cove-like entryway as it leads into the bright main space.
