How To Design The Living Area Of Your Big Singaporean HDB Home

Having a big home in a big, populated city is a privilege. You can choose any interior Design theme for your home, and it’s easy to incorporate that style in your home. Scandinavian, Victorian, vintage, English style, fresh style, any style will WORK.

But, it is also tiring to design so much space. If you are a minimalist, then it will be easy to design your big home; if not, then you might not like so much space. And you shouldn’t. There are plenty of ways in which you can use this space and make your house look astonishing.

Let’s get right inside your big house (not literally)

Separate Dining Area

One good thing about big houses is they have a separate dining area. A small house can also have a separate dining area, but it will take up the space from the living area. Basically, for a small house, the idea of a separate dining area is compact.  

For a big house, though, separate dining areas will take up the extra space. And also your living area will be more spacious. There will be some privacy in both dining and living areas.

Closed Style Kitchen

Yes, open-style kitchens were a trend, but closed-style kitchens can never go out of trend. And with so much space you have, a closed kitchen will be a fantastic layout for a big house.

If you want to go for an open layout, it is fine too. But it can make your house look more spacious and empty. A big closed kitchen is best suited for a big home. Your kitchen and living space can have different vibes and designs.

Bigger Furniture And Upholstery

Does that big L-shaped sofa always attract you? So, don’t think and get the sofa or couch of your choice, without any sacrifice. In a big place, extensive upholstery goes well. And you don’t have to worry about not having enough sitting space for guests.

Wall Decor

Wall art adds more beauty to any space, let alone an open space. Even so, for a small area, it can be congested, but not for a big living room.

A plain wall will look bland and dull—Decor the wall with bookshelf, gallery wall, wall art, wall showcase, plants, and whatnot. Don’t forget to blend it with the design theme; otherwise, it will look out of the place.

Bar-Section

A separate bar section in your living space looks very chic. You may like liquor and host a lot of house parties. Or you want the aesthetic of a bar-section, in a big house, where you have SPACE, you can do anything. If you are not into liquor, it’s okay; you can create a coffee bar instead. Coffee bars have a vintage aroma of style.

A Cozy Corner

For some evening chit-chat time with coffee or tea, a cozy corner and separate from the rest of the rooms are relaxing and comforting. You can take up some space from your big living room to create your very favorite corner.

If you like the outdoors, the balcony is the go-to. But for those cold winter days, this is a perfect spot to procrastinate and drink coffee. You can design it with a comfy, soft, and warm couch or a bean bag. Some throw pillows and a quilt will be great for winter.

Wrapping up:

With a big house, it is a little challenging to use the space wisely to make it look pleasing. But not impossible. Just explore different designs according to your theme and choose what suits your room best.
