Owner is a young married couple. At first, they wanted to do some minor carpentry and hacking works for the kitchen, but after designer presented to them a proposed layout, they decided to renovate their Living room, Master Bedroom, 2 Toilets and Kitchen. 

 

6A Boon Tiong Rd - Tiong Bahru, Singapore is a interesting location whereby surrounded with local coffe shops, bakery and boutique shops with different services. The young local also gather here most of the time. Tiong Bahru is also known as a good location for new housing development and condominiums.

 

This is actually a resale flat with 3 Bedrooms and 1 Living room. The previous owner coverted one of the rooms to be a walk-in closet, it was a big walk-in closet with vanity area but somehow lacked of lighting and dusty because the buil-in wardrobes were designed in open concept. 

 

2 toilets were designed in the old designed with beige color scheme and the whole area inside the toilet is considered as "wet area" without no kerb to isulate shower area with vanity area. 

 

Also, the kitchen was designed with dark wood color scheme and the whole Kitchen area looked bulky with lots of spaces were occupied for boxing up to cover the outlet pipes in Yard area.

 

 

The old entry door to the Master Bedroom was actually a customized sliding door with the partition which was the backing of the wardrobe in the Walk-in closet the other side. 

 

The owner wanted to get rid off the sliding door since their concept is not suitable with sliding door and the old wardrobe has to be hacked down (which means the partition has to be dismantled too). 

 

Old Walk-in closet with vanity and open concept wardrobe that need to be hacked down and replace with a bigger wardrobe. 

 

False ceiling also will be added on for this area to make the area to be lighting and nicer in the ambience. 

The Kitchen definitely need to replaced with new floor tiles and cabinet. The cabinet was designed in dark walnut color with a sense of contemporary style which the owner really did not like about that. 

 

The Kitchen flooring was required to be hacked to have a better waterproof layer and nice tiles. 

 

Both 2 Toilets were required to renovated by changing new tiles, built up shower kerb with new toilet fittings.

Basically, the proposed layout sticks on the existing plan since the owner's budget did not allow to do a lot of works. Hence, new kind of color scheme, tiling and addtional carpentry works will be done for them. 

 

Living area already came with a beige homogenous tiles in marble patterns. Designer tried to make the new design and color scheme to match with the current flooring, also, the style that owner prefers to have is Scandinavian Style - So it was not a big challenging to transform this old flat to be a Scandi/Vintage home. 

 

 

Proposed false ceiling plan is actually based on the exisitng false ceiling that later will be coordinated with existing false ceiling, new false ceiling mainly is built up in Walk-in closet area. 

Owner wanted some focus point in the Living area that might be decorative shelves which can be a focus point, yet, functional. 

 

Old flooring that was replaced with a new wooden strip tiles that coordinate very well with a new kitchen design. 

Both Master Bedroom and Walk-in closet were replaced with a dark stained walnut parquet flooring. Master Bedroom was not required to do much work for it since the owner only needed some styling works with buy-off-the-shelf bookshelf, mirror and bedframe. 

 

The reccessed part in between the wall also was painted in blueish grey color to bring in the winter feel for the Master Bedroom.

 

Walk-in closet was replaced with a closed casement and sliding concept in Baron Elm laminate. This corner bring in more Contemporary Style for the color scheme itself. Hence, owner has their own antique dresser that is quite interesting to be placed in the Walk-in closet. 

Both toilet were replaced with subway tiles on shower area wall with shower kerb in isulate the dry and wet area. The dry area was painted in dark navy color that later will be combined with golden accessories and dark walnut vanity to let the toilet has more feminine feel.
