Interior design in Singapore has become one of those perpetually ubiquitous ventures that make up a successful industry. Maybe it is the allotment of HDB flats or maybe it is just a millennial dream of owning the best homes, but interior designing has become quite a phenomenon in Singapore.

It may feel like the easiest thing when you’re thinking about refurbishing your own home, but you have to understand that interior design in Singapore is actually a complicated process. There are HDB guidelines to be followed, concepts to be successfully articulated, structural aspects to be considered and the pragmatics of your vision to be implemented. This means that aside from educating yourself in the basics, it is important that you also learn about all the things that can eventually ruin your renovation project. So further, we’ll be taking a look at the top five mistakes that can essentially discredit your entire renovation.

Hurrying Along The Design Process

A rushed planning and subsequent organization is one of the most common horror stories regarding interior design in Singapore. The initial design process that determines the layout and aesthetic of your home is one of the most important times during your renovation. If you hurry this process along, you’ll find that you’ll miss many opportunities to bring in some essential features in your home. Just imagine locking in your final layout, and only realizing halfway through the execution that your brand new walk in could have been designed as another bedroom. So always pay special attention to the design process, or you’ll end up missing something important.

Disregarding Anthropometry

Anthropometry is the science of creating spaces that are designed according to human scale, proportion and dimension. This includes furniture and the overall size of the space as well. It is important to consider proper anthropometry before going forward with your final design or you might end up living the next interior design horror story. Just imagine fitting in a giant canopy bed inside a room that was clearly designed for a twin bed? Or an overstuffed plush leather couch inside a small two bedroom BTO? Sounds off-putting, right? That is the power of proper scale and proportion.

Underestimating Nature

One of the top rated trends in home interior design in Singapore is the incorporation of nature these days. Yes, the HDB system means living in high rises, and that certainly makes practicing your green thumb quite difficult, but there are ways around that. You can use hydroponics – vertical green walls designed indoors or maybe even on a balcony. Or you can simply use small planter arrangements – succulents are quite the rage these days.

The point of incorporating even a small amount of nature in your interior designs is to chase away the blandness. No one wants to live in a futuristic hub with no relation to nature at all. If you do so, you’ll find yourself longing for a more refreshing and organic vibe that is usually related to the outdoors.

Subpar Lighting

If lighting is the fourth dimension, then what happens when it is designed in a poor way? Easy; you’ll end up with spaces that have zero presence and impact. Imagine trying to relax in a living room that has unprecedented dark spots. Or trying to work at a kitchen counter that is poorly lit. Sounds disrupting, right? This is how bad lighting can lead you to live your very own interior design horror story. No matter how beautiful your actual design, subpar lighting can completely kill the overall ambience.

Overdone Colour Coordination

The most basic impact of your interior design comes from a successful colour combination. If the contrast is good, your ambience will look unique and interesting. On the other hand, if you overdo the colour coordination and combination, you’ll end up with your next big interior design horror story. So always be careful about matching your colour palate – it may end up making or breaking your overall aesthetic.

Retail interior design is simultaneously one of the easiest yet complicated genres of interior design you’ll ever encounter. On one hand, you’re simply following an already set theme. But on the other hand, you’ll have to create visual and tonal diversity in the same theme within a completely new context.

Flagship brands like Armani, Hugo Boss, Zara and Calvin Klein have standardized each and every aspect of their retail interiors – from the sitting areas to the size of the try rooms and even the intensity of light. This trend has become a literal yardstick for every brand all around the world. Retail interior design in Singapore follow similar guidelines, yet there are still some common mistakes that have also become mutually exclusive with such settings.

Further, we’ll be taking a look at 5 common mistakes you’ll find in unsuccessful retail interior designs.

Uninteresting Exteriors

The most important denominator of any retail interior design is to reel the client in. If you’re working with a bland, uninteresting exterior, then that is the very first step towards a failed business. Customers are attracted to uniqueness – something that is distinct, yet very inviting. When they look at a retail exterior that is either too subdued or too loud, they will automatically gloss over it and prefer another shop. Maintaining this fine balance between inviting and repelling can be extremely challenging.

Shabby Displays

Showcasing the product is another important factor in designing a successful retail interior design. If your shop does not have an attractive display that highlights the best of your products, then you’re obviously doing something wrong. Worldwide brands like HUB and Charles & Keith always make sure to design extremely alluring display settings that showcase the quality of their products. Backlit walls that make shoes and purses stand out, Mannequin Displays in interesting poses and creative hangers that offer an efficiently surplus display real estate are all very important to consider while designing retail interiors.

Divergent Themes

A fully cognizant theme is important to create a brand identity. If a customer experiences a fully traditional retail interior design for a specific brand in one neighbourhood, and find a completely altered theme in another outlet of the same brand, they’ll get a tonal whiplash. This is why standardized themes work best. You use the same colour scheme, the same design elements and even the same display structure in all outlets to create an attractive brand identity that will familiarize you with the customer base.

Obstructive Layout

Over-cluttering is another common retail interior design mistake you can find all around. Yes, you’ll have a lot of products to put on display, but that does not mean that you should compromise the layout of the space. Never arrange the racks or products in a layout that might get in the customers way. They’ll take note, and this uncomfortableness will definitely leave an impression.

Terrible Lighting

A warm, inviting and comfortable lighting design is important in order to create a satisfying retail interior design experience. What if you combine a stark white lighting scheme with a stark white, minimal interior scape in an outlet? The result would be a veritable disaster. It is important to create contrast in lighting. Use track lights to showcase your display, and ambient LEDs to create a comfortable atmosphere for your customer to browse through. There should always be a fine balance between the two, or you’ll leave a negative impression on your customers.
