Singapore’s interior design scene is constantly evolving, with an array of exciting and innovative trends taking hold in recent times.
Sustainability is a key theme that continues to gain significant traction, with more homeowners seeking eco-friendly designs that incorporate natural materials. This approach not only creates a more calming and soothing atmosphere but also promotes a sense of responsibility towards the environment.
Minimalism also continues to be a popular trend in Singaporean interior design, with a focus on creating clean, functional spaces that maximise every inch of the room. Multi-functional furniture is another popular solution that helps to create more space in small apartments and homes.
Technology, meanwhile, is playing an increasingly important role. Smart speakers, lighting systems, and other innovative devices are being incorporated into homes to create more convenience and comfort.
The trends are especially evident in the design of these six award-winning properties, which showcase the perfect blend of sustainability, functionality, and comfort.
1. Perfect Ten by Property Enterprises Development (Singapore) Pte Ltd
This luxury condominium in Bukit Timah features contemporary interiors that create a sophisticated ambience. Each living and dining area has marble flooring and ducted air conditioning. Kitchens have high-end Miele appliances and a beautiful countertop, while bathrooms have luxury fittings from Duravit, Villeroy & Boch, and elegant Hansgrohe Gold series showers.
The four stacks of two-bedroom units face Bukit Timah Road with balconies offering breathtaking views, while the two stacks of two-bedroom units feature private lift lobbies for enhanced exclusivity and privacy.

Orchard Sophia‘s interior design is heavily influenced by the Japandi style, which combines Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics to create a harmonious fusion of clean lines and functionality. Neutral tones and varied textures create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

This design caters to young professionals and couples looking for flexibility in their living arrangements.
Orchard Sophia was recognised for its exceptional interior design at the APA(S) ceremony, winning the Best Boutique Condo Interior Design award, alongside the Best Boutique Condo Development title and the highly commended for Best Lifestyle Development.
