1. MONOCHROME CHECKERED TILES AND MIX TILES: MODERN INDUSTRIAL HDB INTERIOR DESIGN

Featured Project: Buangkok Woods | Modern Industrial Interior Design Singapore | The Interior Lab

For one, flooring tiles can serve a functional purpose by demarcating the different living spaces in one common space. This Modern Industrial HDB interior design employs the use of bold monochrome grid tiles for the kitchen flooring and patterned mix tiles for the dining area, generating a flowing sense of continuity throughout the dark monochrome setting, while preventing visual clutter despite the use of strikingly dissimilar tiles.

Mix tiles combine tiles of similar colour scheme but of different design styles, resulting in an eccentric patchwork that complements an assortment of interior design themes. The similar tiling applied to the dining area is reflected in the bathroom to visually separate the wet and dry areas, simultaneously breaking the uniform shade of warm-hue cement with the verve of the mix tile design.

2. TERRAZZO AND HARROGATE TILES: VINTAGE ECLECTIC HDB INTERIOR DESIGN

Echoing the tiling design style from the above, this Vintage Eclectic HDB interior design was built in the concept of space distinctions using Terrazzo tiles for the living area and the Harrogate tiles for the open concept kitchen. Terrazzo is traditionally defined as the marriage of marble chips and concrete, hence when paired up with tightly-knit patterned Harrogate tiles, a complementary contrast is drawn. This striking juxtaposition of tiling combination imbues the home with a touch of vintage feels along with the dark retro turquoise walls.

Harrogate, on the other hand, is patterned tiles of various designs that are historically reminiscent of the British Empire in the mid-to-late 19^th century. The bathroom utilises a spread-out version of the monochrome Harrogate tiles, bringing out the classic Victorian vibes in conjunction with the opulent gold accents of the bathroom accessories and wainscoted cabinets.

3. CONCRETE GREYSCALE RETRO TILES: SCANDINVIAN INDUSTRIAL HDB INTERIOR DESIGN

Terrazzo is also a good option for minimalistic themes such as this Scandinavian Industrial home as it serves in the neutral colour palette, a twist to the conventional grey concrete floors frequently seen in Industrial-themed designs. With Scandinavian white as the predominant colour that forms the foundation of the interior, the eye of attention is instantly drawn to the spectrum of subdued black and wooden colours of the room.

The first impression of retro pattern tiles is typically associated with vibrant and rich colours; the one-tone greyscale retro tiles however provide subtle emphasis on the warmer furniture and lighting amidst the colder black metal in this HDB interior design. Tucked at the corner of the kitchen, a quaint breakfast dining area is formed.

4. VINTAGE PERANAKAN TILES AND VIBRANT ECLECTIC TILES: MODERN ECLECTIC HDB INTERIOR DESIGN

Peranakan tiles often complement Modern Eclectic homes as they perfectly bring out the fun playful personality of the vibrant interior design theme. The Peranakan pattern tiles harmonises the blend of mustard yellow and forest green shades that colours the built-in open shelves and storage cabinets in the kitchen, shaping a uniquely designed living space without the visual impression of an overly-complex design.

The 2 bathroom of the eclectic dwelling have retained elements that resemble each other, such as the similar use of wide concrete flooring tiles in the wet areas. The contrast between the two bathrooms stands in the implementation of different colour schemes for the wall tiling of the shower areas – cool refreshing emerald subway tiles for the master bathroom, and quirky hexagonal pattern tiles for the common bathroom.

With the diverse assortment of tiles dominating significant areas of different living spaces, they are crucial points of consideration in designing your future homes. We hope that these projects broadened your perspective on the different combinations of tiles that can be incorporated without compromising the functionality and aesthetics of the overall home interior design.
