) found their dream flat in Bedok South, and it wasn't just the inside that caught their eye. The road leading to their block is shaded by tall trees, creating a cosy feel every time they come and go. Plus, with markets and shops just a short walk away, the location was a big win for the couple.
Now, it's home sweet home for the couple and their two cats, Billi and Momo. Dive in with us as we discover how B and C transformed this old flat into their cosy nook.From the outset, B and C were resolute about their budget for renovating their Bedok South flat. "We were looking at around 70k just for the built cost, and we were determined to stick to it," B recalled. Thankfully, they managed to do just that, achieving their vision without any unforeseen expenses.
Several transformative changes were made to the original layout to bring their vision to life. "We removed the bedroom by the corridor window to turn it into a multi-functional space. The kitchen was overhauled for an open vibe, and the balcony, which was previously a room, was taken back," B shared. They also created a study overlooking the main areas and a functional walk-in wardrobe from existing bedrooms.
Their approach to furnishing the house was nothing short of a global treasure hunt. "A lot of our furniture, lights, fittings, and objects come from various parts of the world," D explained. While some items could be readily sourced from regular websites and stores, a significant portion of their unique collection was the fruit of years of meticulous curation.
