To open up the space, Rashi  and Melissa incorporated an open-concept kitchen with an island. The choice of patterned tiles adds to the vintage look, complemented by the earthy wood and deep green hues.

“This open-concept kitchen allows for the homeowners to easily entertain their guests at the dining while food prepping,” the team says. ” It also allows for natural sunlight to come in from all directions,  making the communal area more spacious.”

A tiled backsplash, reminiscent of old-school glass mosaic bricks, completes the look.

In the dining area, the Home Philosophy team custom-designed this bench to maximise storage space. A thrifted table from an old-school kopitiam adds a touch of nostalgic charm.

To conceal the household shelter, the team fitted a pegboard wall next to the front door. This helps the homeowners maximise vertical space by giving them a flexible place to display their book collection and the baby’s toys.

The pegboard style allows the homeowners to rearrange their display space whenever they feel like it, a sensible design choice that can accommodate the growing family. Next to it, a sliding door with a full-length mirror enhances the spaciousness of the interior.

It’s the little touches that matter. To create a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing entrance feature, Rashi and Melissa swapped out the original door concealing the electrical DB box for this one, using natural handwoven rattan that was sourced from one of the last rattan weavers in Singapore. At the bottom are shelves for the homeowners to store their shoes.

For visual continuity, deep green tiles were used in the master bathroom, creating a soothing, earthy vibe with a touch of boutique-hotel luxe.

A custom-made settee bench in the master bedroom gives the homeowners room to sit and enjoy the view out of the window, while doubling as storage space. To highlight the area, Rashi and Melissa chose to colour-block the wall for contrast.
