A five-room resale flat in Tampines has undergone extensive renovation from an old-school HDB design to a British colonial style home.

Post-renovation, the clean, airy space makes the flat seem bigger than before.

Photos of the project were uploaded to Andre Interior on Facebook.

Here's the flat before the overhaul:

The patterned tiles were chosen to "add some personality and jazz."

The kitchen can be extended into a dining table.

Steel bifold doors are installed to seperate the kitchen during cooking, but allows the house to retain an open layout when folded.

Sneakerheads will probably lust after this impressive vault:

The proposed layout, if you're interested:

British colonial style

According to Homes To Love, the style originated in the West Indies, Caribbean, India and Africa in the era of the British Empire and colonisation.

The result is a blend of traditional British style with a tropical flair.

Design company KWD (Kate Walker Design) notes that some of the key elements of such a style include dark timbre, shades of white, natural textures, plants, and tropical accessories, among others.

In this instance, though, the design appears to be rather low-key with its predominantly white interiors.

Here are some other distinctly British colonial style houses:

Yesterday was a good day. Did you see the Birthday party car parade in my stories yesterday? Had both my husband and I crying. It’s so touching to see people loving on my daughter, especially during this weird time. Today we are just taking it easy, and trying our hand at scratch made tortillas! What are you up to this lovely Sunday? . . . #britishcolonial #westindies #insecttaxidermy #turtleshell #botanyphotography #mantledecor #tommybahamas #ralphlaurenhome #vintagestyledecor #oldworldstyle #chinoiseriestyle #tropicalhome #decorbetweentheseasons #decorsquares #thatdecorlife #tropicalresort #decorbffs #dreamingaboutdecor #beautifuldecorstyles #antiqueaccessories #britishcolonial #mytraditionalhome #classicinteriordesign #grandmillennial #stylingmyseasons #homedecorcommunitylove #pineappledecor #palmleaf #rattanfurniture #traveldecor
