A small space doesn't have to be limited in ideas. This two-room HDB flat by D'Haus is brimming with storage solutions and decor inspiration that belie its compact dimensions.
The homeowner idea to festoon the ceiling with Moroccan lamps is now translated into the flooring instead, in the form of the Moroccan-inspired print on the floor tiles. Small cushions and rabbit ornament on shelf, all from Egg3.
The continuous cladding of dark veneer at the foyer area effectively disguises the bedroom entrance and the door to the shoe cabinet (on the left). Cleaner, more seamless surfaces make the home look more spacious.
Following her geomancer’s advice, the homeowner bought a bed that allows for air to circulate underneath. “Book” storage on floor, from Egg3.
Instead of using conventional swing doors, which take up too much space, and sliding doors, which are “too common”, designer Stella used roller blinds as “doors” to the wardrobe. This clever idea is functional and looks great, too!
Using the same surface treatment for the bedroom wall makes the doors to the room and the hidden dressing table magically “disappear” from view.
The storage areas within the dressing table area are also hidden.
The home’s bathroom is clad in the same Moroccan-print tiles as the living room flooring for visual continuity. Windows let in more light to brighten up the space.
