Statement staircase

A statement staircase leading to the upper floor will add to the entire personality of the house. Incorporate wood or metal or go for hardened glass to create a visually appealing and functional focal point. Curved or floating staircases would look good.

Natural light

While natural light is important for any home décor design, this holds especially true for duplex homes as they have huge spaces. Maximise natural light by incorporating large windows, skylights or glass walls. This would enhance the aesthetics and create a bright and airy atmosphere.

Neutral colour palette

Whether an open layout or any other scheme, it is a good idea to opt for a neutral colour. A neutral colour palate would create a sense of continuity throughout the house. Use shades like white, grey or beige as the base and add pops of colour through furnishings, artworks or accent pieces.

Smart storage solutions

Since duplex houses have a lot of space, utilise smart storage solutions, such as built-in cabinets, under-stair storage or hidden shelves, to make the home organised and clutter-free.

 

Multifunctional furniture

Choose furniture that serves multiple purposes to maximise the functionality of your duplex house. A sofa bed or a dining table with extendable leaves can be used for different needs. With compact furnishing, give the house a larger and more spacious look.

 

Unique wall treatments

Experiment with different wall treatments to add character to your duplex house. Consider options like textured wallpapers, exposed brick walls or decorative panelling to create visual interest.

Customised lighting

Incorporate a variety of lighting fixtures to set the right mood in each area of the duplex house. Ambient and accent lighting are some of the trending lighting and can be used to highlight architectural features. You can also use this lighting in the kitchen to make the space stand out.

Personalised touches

Infuse your personality into the design through artwork, photographs or decorative accessories. These personal touches make the space feel inviting and reflect your style.

 

Outdoor living spaces

If your duplex house has access to outdoor areas, like balconies or terraces, create cosy and inviting spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Consider adding comfortable seating, potted plants and lighting for a relaxing ambience.
