Space 3-room executive apartment
Location Woodlands
Reno Period Four weeks
Home To A family of two
Home to a single mother and her four-year-old son, this 1,200 sq ft apartment is more than spacious enough for the small family of two. But while there is no denying its generous proportions, the homeowner quickly realised that the apartment would better serve her family with more functional storage in anticipation of her child’s growing needs. She ultimately engaged the help of interior designer Cadine Lim from Prozfile to maximise her home’s functionality.
Noting the mother’s preference for soft colours, Lim put together a palette of white, cream, soft greys and beige that comes to life through the various carpentry finishes. Of all the spaces in the home, the entrance foyer saw the most dramatic transformation. Previously, the short entryway forked into two walkways, leading to the dining area and a sprawling balcony respectively. Since the balcony could be easily accessed from the living room, the designer suggested closing off the second walkway with a wall, making space for extra cabinets instead.
