FACT FILE

SPACE 5-room resale HDB flat

SIZE 1,300 sq ft

LOCATION Bishan

DESIGNER

Chen Yan and Sean Lee from Richfield Integrated

RENO PERIOD Eight weeks

1 Living area

The end goal of this resale flat’s renovation remained constant throughout the entire design process: crafting a welcoming home that balances style, functionality and comfort. With two young kids, the homeowners prioritised ample storage space for toys and necessities, now solidified in a full-height storage unit cum display cabinet next to the TV feature wall. The chic yet cosy colour palette requested by the parents can also be observed in the living area, the marble flooring warm-hued and the furnishings picked to match. Whether it’s the wooden dining set from Commune or the tan leather sofa from Grey and Sanders, every piece hits the golden middle between timelessly stylish and perfectly homey.
