House Tour: 3-Week $50,000 renovation for a minimalist 3-room HDB resale flat

Homeowners run a furniture and interior design family business

by Asih Jenie  /   November 2, 2023

The kitchen has evolved from a utilitarian space into the social heart of our domestic life.

And the one in this resale HDB flat is something to behold. Homeowners Tracy and Robert moved into their home in October 2021 and wanted the interior to reflect their style.

Running two family businesses – furniture manufacturing company SK66 (formerly Seng Kwong Furniture Company, founded in 1966) and its interior design arm Imagine SK66 – Tracy and Robert are no stranger to interior design and home furnishings.

Who Lives Here: A couple in their 50s
Size: 1,572 sq ft (146 sqm)
Home: Three-bedroom HDB resale
Interior Designer: Imagine SK66

$50,000 Renovation

Completed in just three weeks, the $50,000 renovation emphasises the kitchen and adjacent living area that’s designed as one large, open space separated only by custom-built furniture.

The material palette in the dry kitchen zone is on the minimalist spectrum – glossy white surfaces, white-washed walls and off-white tiles – and perfect for a curated selection of whimsical details.

Kitchen storage

It also features ample storage with an elegant white marble backsplash and countertop where one can eat while chatting with others in both the kitchen and the living room.

The grey vinyl flooring with a cement screed pattern lends a hand-hewn feel while a trio of birdcage lights suggests playfulness.

Floor tile patterns

The well-ventilated wet kitchen section features decorative black and white ceramic tiles.

The use of black and white tiles creates a striking visual contrast that immediately draws the eye. This dynamic interplay between light and dark adds depth and drama to the kitchen, making it visually engaging.

Teal furniture

The plush teal sofa and chaise longue in the living room, where a mirrored wall by the window makes it feel twice its size, add a delightful pop of colour.

Equally plush is the cream carpet separating the sitting area from the rest of the space.

Eclectic interior design

The kitchen and living room call to each other via small details.

For instance, the teal on the inside of the kitchen shelves echoes that of the sofa.

The lattice pattern of the metal dining chairs resembles that of a cushion in the living room, where the artworks unite the blue-green and soft yellow-off-white colour scheme, and an antique timber sideboard and TV console share a hand-hewn texture similar to that of the kitchen flooring.

The two areas converse via their eclectic design elements – a delightful chatter that reflects their personalities.
