What we love

Touring this 2-room Flexi BTO flat

Who says small homes can’t be fancy? This 2-room Flexi BTO flat in Pasir Ris begs to differ with its rich wood tones and marble-look finishes that look straight out of a hotel.

We particularly love the floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall in the living room. Besides making the space bigger than it actually is – something much needed in a tiny 49 sqm home – the geometric panels add a decorative touch without taking up precious floor space.

Then, dark fluted wall panels bring texture to the space, while also housing concealed doors (leading into the bathroom and bedroom) that keep the look both seamless and interesting.

Marble-look wall surfaces also help break up the monotony of all that dark wood, adding a touch of elegance without overwhelming the space.

Moving into the kitchen, you’ll find black-framed glass sliding doors separating the cooking area from the rest of the home – a practical addition that keeps fumes contained while still allowing light to pass through.

Full-height cabinetry, as well as dedicated niches for appliances, provide ample storage while keeping the counters clutter-free.

In the bedroom, a geometric upholstered headboard, ahem, mirrors the panelled mirror in the living room, giving the space a plush, hotel-like feel. Paired with the full-height wood-look wardrobe, it looks just like a room you’d find in a luxurious hotel.

Last but certainly not least, the bathroom gets its own glow-up with a backlit mirror and warm lighting that soften the otherwise grey-toned space.
