Originally smaller and closed-in, the living area was widened by knocking down the wall to an extra bedroom. The open-concept layout now includes the dry kitchen as well, making the multifunctional space feel communal and perfect for future gatherings. A tinted mirror makes for a luxurious feature wall that reflects extra light and cements the hotel-inspired look as soon as one enters the home.
Space Five -room HDB flat
Location Bishan
Reno period Eight weeks
Home to A family of four and their helper
Budget $150K
Once cramped into a three-bedroom flat, this family of four made the most of that limited space for a couple of years, having their kids share a bedroom and converting the utility room into the helper’s quarters. But as the kids grew older, they couldn’t ignore the issue any longer: the space was getting a little too tight.
Settling on a spacious five-room HDB flat as their brand new abode, the couple engaged designer Chris Cheang and project manager Sean Lee from Richfield Integrated to execute their dream vision: a warm and welcoming space that is reminiscent of their favourite hotels overseas, all the while providing the kids with the privacy of their own rooms.
The warm ambience of the home achieves the parents’ ideal of an inviting family space. “We wanted a home that’s welcoming, cosy and warm, where family members can spend most of the time in the living and dining areas,” the homeowners share. “That’s why we chose a warm wood accent for the living, dining and kitchen areas.”
