Refreshing the old

A 35-year-old resale flat gets a much-needed makeover, resulting in a stylish home with plenty of character.

It's exciting to move into your first home and what better way to put your stamp on it than renovating it? That's exactly what these homeowners did, as they wanted it to fit their style and preferences. Plus, the 35-year-old resale flat had never been renovated before so the couple took the opportunity to execute this transformation. 

With the two owners having different style preferences, the couple decided on a mishmash of their favourite looks-retro, Scandinavian and boho. As the couple shares: "Why stick to one when you can have all three!"

The team at Pith Interior enjoyed not having to stick to a single style, instead focusing on creating a home with personality and incorporating elements from all three themes. The result is a cosy abode infused with splashes of colour and vintage elements that add to its appeal.

Experimenting in the kitchen

One of the homeowners' requests was to have enough kitchen space for their culinary experiments, as well as a large area for entertaining family and friends. To achieve this, the wall between the kitchen and dining hall was hacked and the kitchen split into dry and wet areas. The dry kitchen now includes a bar island, which the homeowners can use as a workspace too.
