Other than the advantage of not having to spend money or time travelling, you get to enjoy working in a more comfortable environment. And what could be more comfortable than home, right?
Lisa said they allocated $50,000 for the reno and $20,000 for furnishing. They felt it would be a reasonable budget, especially considering the size of their unit. And everyone knows that first impressions are important, so the couple wanted to ensure that from the get-go. As such, they hacked three walls down to open up the entire living, kitchen, and study areas. Below is a photo of their original floor plan.
The first thing that most people would probably notice is the panelled glass partition behind their sofa. This would be common bedroom #3, which previously sat beside the living room. The couple decided to hack the walls of this bedroom and turn it into a study area – their WFH nook. Even in the kitchen area – whether it’s the appliances or drawers, the couple made sure to stick to their colour theme. As you’ll see, they have an abundance of creams and whites.For the master bedroom, the couple combined both master and bedroom #2 without hacking the walls between them. By moving the door outward, they’ve eliminated the hallway and were able to incorporate a dresser with the master bedroom.
Lisa said they had two main criteria when they were looking for an ID. One of which is ensuring the ID is on the same page as them. To judge that, they used their moodboard to help them gauge how much the ID liked their design ideas and how it’s envisioned. Most people don’t expect much from Taobao’s quality. However, since the couple focused on aesthetics, they were willing to get their furniture there. She said that they deemed the reno and appliances more important than furniture.“But truth be told… our choices turned out to be pretty solid. People can’t believe our console, table, and other built-ins were from Taobao because they look like carpentry.
Their plan was to open up the space without a massive overhaul. Aside from hacking some walls, they were able to overcome the space constraints with a few more details. Another experience that Lisa shared was the risk of implementing a design element that was new to the ID or contractor.
