A pair of home dwellers turned a timeworn apartment around with a few unusual ideas
Drab and dated, the interior of this 20-year-old resale flat belonging to a pair of newlyweds just didn’t suit their personalities. Moreover, the young owners had their own unique ideas for their dream home and were eager for its face lift. Together with Derrick Lim, their interior designer from D’Marvel Scale, they came up with creative ways to transform it into a contemporary haven laced with a heritage vibe.
Like most homeowners, plans were in the pipeline for major space restructuring catered to the couple’s creature habits. But what set them apart was the decision to forgo the customary living room alongside its entertainment system and squishy sofa. Instead, the pair decided to assign the dining area as their new, albeit unconventional, communal zone. This uncommon school of thought is refreshing, not lacking.
“The homeowners wanted their dining room to be the centre for social gatherings. As opposed to sitting on the couch watching television, being seated around a table allows everyone to face one another and interact easily,” explains Derrick. “They meant to use this space for work as well.”
