Geometric shapes and forms, especially curves, are a really popular interior design feature/element everywhere these days. Appearing not just in newly renovated homes, they’re also showing up in HDB flats, private condos – and surprisingly, even bubble tea shops and beauty salons!

On top of serving as a striking accent, curved archways also eliminates the need to construct a false ceiling (which reduces the height of your rooms – an important concern for HDB homes) just to conceal an ugly overhead column.

Apart from the structural changes, homeowners are also adding furniture with a geometric profile to convey visual interest.

3. A bright and airy makeover for $27,000
Keeping to a white colour palette is the easiest way to create the illusion of a bigger home. If you lack square footage to begin with, go one step further by creating custom built-ins (like this cabinet in the entryway) for more space to keep your knick knacks.

A safe home is a happy home!
If you have young children, you’d know how easy it is for them to get into all sorts of mischief whenever you’re not looking. While parents can’t keep a watchful eye on their kids 24/7, you can help to create a safe space for them to run around in!
Here’s our mini guide on how to child-proof your home!

1. Change your flooring
For a child-safe, slip-proof option, particularly for toddlers who are taking their first steps, try Bamco’s bamboo charcoal flooring, which is not only FULLY recyclable, and can even help to purify their air at home! Plus, it’s also easy to maintain, especially if your toddler accidentally spills food on the floor often.

Adding a rug is an easy way to soften your children’s falls. Try putting these in places where your kids love to roam around at, such as the living room or their bedrooms. Not only that, the right rug can add an aesthetic appeal to your space instantly. From bold, colourful ones to a more minimalist look, HipVanorIKEA offer a wide range of rugs and carpets for you to choose from.

2. Don’t forget the paint on your walls
Some paints release emissions known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are a source of indoor air pollutants that can negatively impact your children’s health, which can cause nausea and irritation.

ConsiderGush, a Singaporean company that offers environmentally-paint that’s safe for your young ones. Gush’s range of paints are made without VOCs, has no smell, and can even help to purify the air in your home!
3. Keep things neat with storage solutions
To keep your children’s toys neat and tidy, and to minimise the risk of them tripping over haphazardly strewn clutter, all you need is a good storage rack and cultivating in them a good habit of keeping their own toys.

Opt for something that your children are able to reach easily, so that they can stow away their toys by themselves.

If you didn’t already know, it’s generally more expensive and time-consuming to renovate a resale home than a brand new one, due to wear and tear. Plus, with a 3-room flat, you don’t have the luxury of space either. BUT, with these clever space-planning tips, you can make any small apartment feel and look bigger.
Read on to find out how!
1. Adopt an Open-Concept Layout
3-room resale homes tend to have a narrower layout compared to their current BTO counterparts. To fully maximise this layout, try hacking the walls between rooms so that there’s more walking room.
2. Keep Your Cabinetry Close to The Walls
Flushing the shelves and cabinets against the walls creates plenty of walking space. Another great tip is to avoid placing furniture or other bulky objects along this walkway, so as not disrupt the flow.
3. Go Light
One of the easiest ways to achieve the illusion of space is to go with a lighter, neutral colour palette. Using white wall paint and light-coloured furnishing pieces makes the whole space appear bigger as it enables more light to ‘reflect’ throughout the room.
