<p>Looking to fit in a baby grand into your petite HDB or condo space? Maybe you are searching for ways to incorporate your piano as part of your interior. From dedicated carpentry nooks to platforms for your instrument to take centre stage, these ideas from small homes in Singapore will get you inspired for your own home reno.</p><h2>Make it the focal point</h2><p>A baby grand <strong>demands</strong> to be the focal point. In this BTO, it proudly takes centre stage against a backdrop of lush greenery. While it does take up almost the entire living room, you can’t deny the sophistication it lends to this home. Instead of a conventional TV wall, the homeowner went with a projector TV to save some space.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/1-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-8.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/blend-by-imc">Blend by ImC</a></p><h2>Give it a platform</h2><p>With the white digital piano placed on its own curved platform in this home, it creates an immersive experience, almost as if you’re performing on a real stage. This setup helps to define separate areas in the apartment, giving the piano a sense of permanence instead of appearing to be ‘floating’ in the interior design.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/2-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-13.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/free-space-intent">Free Space Intent</a></p><h2>Blend with cabinetry</h2><p>A specially made storage hutch was designed for this piano, with the cabinetry matching the same colour as the instrument so that it blends in with the rest of the interior, avoiding any unnecessary attention in this modern farmhouse style home.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/3-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-10.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p>Design: Country Concept</p><h2>Wood on wood</h2><p>If you prefer having your piano to be a standout feature in your home, go for contrasting tones. We love how the warm, medium-toned wood of the piano stands out against the lighter tones of the cabinetry. The complementary woodgrains on both pieces help to tie things together visually.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/4-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-2.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/ace-interior-design">Ace Interior Design</a></p><h2>Conceal it</h2><p>Integrated with the TV wall, this dedicated nook for the piano comes with bi-fold doors so that it can be concealed whenever the homeowner wants to keep it out of sight. It’s a great way to create a sleeker, less cluttered look.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/5-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-5.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/5a-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-6.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/5b-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-7.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/arkhilite">Arkhilite</a></p><h2>In a transition space</h2><p>If your walkway in your HDB or condo is wide enough, think about using this space for a cosy piano nook, just like what this home did. This usually overlooked area accommodates the entire instrument, ensuring it fits snugly without causing any inconvenience to the traffic flow. Its curved edges also provide more a more seamless transition as you walk from area to area.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/6-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-4.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/6a-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-3.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/arkhilite">Arkhilite</a></p><h2>Put it on a same-colour background</h2><p>Built-ins storage options are typically more permanent and can take up quite a bit of space, which may not suit everyone. If you don't want a custom-made storage for your piano, consider the alternative of painting your walls in the same colour as your instrument. This way, it blends in with the overall aesthetic of your interior design.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/7-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-14.jpg" alt="" width="731" height="1024"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/the-scientist">The Scientist</a></p><h2>Make it a part of the TV feature wall</h2><p>This design makes the piano a part of the TV feature wall. The decision to go all-black in the TV area complements the jet-black piano, effectively ensuring some visual cohesion and minimising distractions in the living room.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/8-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-1.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="819"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/ovon-design">Ovon Design</a></p><h2>Break it up with an arch</h2><p>Instead of cabinetry, the piano is housed in a recessed wall. Recessed shelves that feature gentle arches beautifully break up the straight lines and edges of the piano, lending a cosier, warmer ambience to the living room.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/9-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-11.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/divas-interior-design">Diva’s Interior Design</a></p><h2>Distract with wallpaper</h2><p>A busy wallpaper serves as a great backdrop to a piano, sprucing the plain neutral of a piano and creating the perfect accent wall for a home.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/10-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-9.jpg" alt="" width="731" height="1024"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/chengyi-interior-design">ChengYi Interior Design</a></p><h2>Align with the curves</h2><p>This baby grand was positioned right by the entrance of the home, welcoming you with its elegant form as soon as you come inside. A bespoke oval rug was specifically designed to fits it curves, while the walls gracefully undulate to complement the shape of the instrument.</p><p><img src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/11-where-to-put-the-piano-hdb-condo-singapore-12.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="731"></p><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/ehka-studio">Ehka Studio</a></p><h2>Double up as console&nbsp;</h2><p>This keyboard fits right under the TV, allowing it to blend with the rest of the living room setup rather than have it stand out and get in the way of this small living room.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1000/1500;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/8a0c3e52-1565-4fb2-a48f-0fb4dbe3dd08-blob" width="1000" height="1500"></figure><p>Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/renologist-interior">Renologist</a></p>
