Attracted to this unit’s spacious 1,130sq ft layout, its proximity to an MRT station and the unit’s original terrazzo tiles, home seekers R and Jsealed the deal on this space and reached out to Knock Knock Studio for its revamp.
They’d discovered the interior design firm’s works on Instagram and found their works to be unique and versatile, bringing on Jade Cham and assistant Yu Jia to oversee the home’s renovation.
“Our very first request was probably that we needed lots of storage space,” share the homeowners. “We wanted a bright home that allowed natural light to come in, and we wanted to incorporate colourful, funky furnishings.”
“We shared a deck filled with images from Pinterest that showed a balanced use of bright furniture, unique tiles and accent walls,” they continue. “Knock Knock understood what we wanted immediately and from our first meeting, we worked closely every step of the process to select the colours, materials and finishings for the house.”
To ensure the flat reflected the homeowners’ personalities and interests—the wife enjoys lounging and watching crime dramas and romcoms, while her husband loves jiu-jitsu and action movies—Jade didn’t bind herself to too many design rules. “It allowed the homeowners and I to really play around and have fun throughout the process,” she explains.
An airy refresh Jade managed to visit the house before the couple
collected their keys. Her first impression wasn’t particularly positive, she admits.
