A look into the most-saved renovation project of the week.
Due to their small sizes, homes in Singapore tend to feel boxed-in – but with an open-concept communal area and cleverly-designed built-ins, this 5-room BTO flat in Tengah feels anything but cramped.
Let’s take a closer look at the features that appealed to many homeowners this week:

Inside this week’s most-saved home
Boasting a bright and airy communal area, this home exudes an open, spacious feel. Soft, neutral tones paired with a mixture of clean lines and subtly-curved carpentry creates a seamless flow between the living room and kitchen, enhancing the overall cohesiveness of the space.
With an open-concept kitchen, the communal area maintains its spacious feel. A small bar table demarcates the kitchen from the living room, while a six-seater dining table provides ample space for the homeowners to gather for meals as a family, or host gatherings.
Paired with dark wood countertops and backsplash, the sage green kitchen cabinets introduce visual contrast without overwhelming the look. A mixture of open and closed cabinetry provide ample storage space while simultaneously preventing the kitchen from feeling too boxed-in.
In one of the bedrooms, the space is neatly segregated with the help of some clever carpentry ideas.
A platform elevates the sleeping area, while a cupboard (which hosts a built-in table) functions as a partition that encloses the dressing area – which is a great way to create a walk-in wardrobe without doing any hacking.
In contrast to the bright communal area, the bathroom is clad with black wall and floor tiles that create a cosy, relaxing vibe.
With both a shower and bathtub, it’s the perfect place for a quick respite, especially after a long, hard day at work.
