The Brief

After helping many clients realise their dream-home visions, Steve and Sandra of Cozyspace Interior finally got the exciting opportunity to work on a project close to their hearts, their very own new 1,012sq ft flat located in Bedok. Instead of rushing into things, the pair spent three months distilling and refining their favourite ideas for the space, taking into account their likes and dislikes when coming up with the concept.

Unsurprisingly, with two designers co-helming the renovation, narrowing down the options proved challenging at times, shares the couple, but the resulting look nails down an ideal combination of all their wants— Sandra’s liking for soft tones and Steve’s preference for a modern-classic dwelling with a touch of nordic style.

To suit their current lifestyle, the pair opted to create plenty of concealed storage, but to avoid making the home look small, they decided to hack two bedrooms. The living area now extends into the previous common room while two adjacent bedrooms were merged to create a commodious primary suite, allowing the couple to incorporate a sizeable vanity-cum-study and a walk-in wardrobe within the space.
