Hello! ๐๐ป Thanks for following me on this home-life-family journey thus far. Since July, Iโve been posting tips and tricks on how to self-design your own house (mainly using my own house as a sample ๐) and SketchUp 3D modelling stuff. ๐

I had the opportunity to design a home ๐ for H&A, a lovely couple with two young children. They bought a 5-room resale.
Today, Iโll be sharing the design and some of my thought processes with you. ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ผ! ๐คญ
Right off the bat, you can see warm timber and white tones echoing throughout the spaces. The couple expressed their liking towards light wood but wanted to steer clear from the muji-colour (which I totally agree ๐). So I selected something thatโs slightly deeper in colour.
Flooring wise, they would like vinyl with herringbone lay (same as my own house yay ๐๐ป). In general they were open to having curves (I used it on the ceiling and added some LED cove lights to make it more dramatic) and fluted elements. They have also a requested to do without false ceiling.

๐ธ Living room
- Since the windows of their unit faces the corridor, I placed a long built in seating space with backing to treat the half wall situation. The seat doubles up as storage space for shoes, etc.
- Iโve also placed a full height cabinet with mirror doors for shoes right beside the main door. I extended the cabinet out such that the doors of bedroom 4 can be tucked nicely behind.
- The TV console features fluted panel doors so that you can still control the electronic stuff without opening the cabinet doors. The TV itself is flushed with the feature wall. I added two column-like โstructureโ on each side to make it look like one piece of furniture.
๐ธ Kitchen
- The kitchen features the Bertazonni stove (which H&A have already made purchase for). Iโve added a tall rack at the side for them to put cooking condiments.
- Chose to do a shaker style doors for the cabinets + gold handles to give it more character.
- I placed the fridge nearer to the yard because I reckon it can look bulky.
- Separating the kitchen and dining area is a long island with curved edges. The island wraps around one of the default structural columns. Added lights to make the columns look more โintentionalโ.
๐ธ Dining area
- H&A wanted a wooden slab for their dining table which was large enough that could host more guests. Was able to fit a 8-pax table. Chose seats with black cushions to create some contrast.
- Placed mirrors and some 20mm x 20mm timber strips to dress up the wall a little.
๐ธ Common Bathroom
- Kept it rather simple with a warm lime wash effect
- Introduced a organic shaped mirror and a circular standalone sink to give it a more artsy feel
Stay tuned for Part 2 - Master Bedroom, Bathroom and Bedroom 4! โจ
