Creative And Thoughtful Design Details Make This Flat Unique

There are limitations as to what you can change in an HDB flat. But there are certainly no limits to creativity, especially in this residence. Home to a couple and their toddler, this flat has been tailored by Levonne Chan of Ethereall to suit not only their needs and lifestyles, but also highlight their appreciation for the little things in life.
As the kitchen space is rather tight, Levonne had the wall between the kitchen and dining partially demolished for a more spacious outlook, with half-height glass windows encasing the opening. This solution also facilitates greater interaction and makes it easier for the couple to keep an eye on their daughter when they’re in the kitchen.
In contrast, the bedrooms sport wood-look tiles to delineate the private from the communal spaces. “We maximised storage space in the master bedroom by lining two rows of wardrobe on each side, similar to the galley kitchen,” shares Levonne. “In doing so, we reserved a decent amount of space to accommodate a queen-sized bed and two nightstands.”
Yet, the most interesting feature in the room is the display shelving that nests within an indented wall. Says Levonne: “We didn’t just want to cover it up with partition board, just so to keep it flushed with the rest of the wall. It would be such a waste so I decided to build a narrow display storage that sits flush against the wall instead.” This divergent thinking of Levonne further demonstrates her creativity in utilising space efficiently and creating beautiful interiors as a result.
