This unit at Bishan Street 22 is a resale HDB apartment with an estimated floor area of 1302 sqft. It features a Muji style. If you have always felt influenced by the world-famous Japanese zen minimalism but still want something slightly different, perhaps you should look at this minimalist but trend-forward Singaporean living unit. For starters, this unit was the creative masterpiece by the highly experienced but down-to-earth Singaporean dream design team company Charlotte's Carpentry Pte. Ltd.
Due to this factor, the designer and his team have given you a 101 design transformation that blends the zen minimalism look with its cousin, the Muji style. This unit heavily incorporates plenty of wood materials to be in- sync with the Japanese Muji style. As a matter of fact, nearly every nook and corner of the five featured rooms has a wood feature or embellishment of some kind. Regardless it is from the Speedy Decor customized wood kitchen cabinet, wood dining table, massive wood wardrobe with multiple storage and compartments and much more..etc. Furthermore, the wood elements give a soothing and tranquil descendant of Kyoto, Japanese vibe that takes the user into a Delorean time-travel machine where they instantly zoom off into the bygone glorious Muji-era. As a result, the wood materials gives the entire unit a sleek, simple and clean-cut look that is minimalistic refined.
We would like to recommend the designer and his team as they stood out due to their remarkable customer service and efficient work ethic. For example, they are willing to answer and explain to the client the A to Z of the unit's design aspects without difficulty despite having other work to attend to and commit to due to their tight and busy schedule. The designer and his team will take their time to talk to you and discuss what the client is getting in terms of their professional service and quality range so that the client knows they are getting the real deal and not some half-baked ID firm with zero credentials. Plus, also ensuring that they are paying for the ideal price tag and getting their best bang for the buck when there are so many similar ID competitors out there. Despite facing constant pressure from clients in their work line, the designer and his team are still courteous and polite.
The bathroom has a fully-mirrored wooden cabinet, a White Horse ceramic seat-on toilet, and a sleek-looking Panasonic silver-colored shower head. For example, the Speedy Decor oak wood cabinet is perfect for storing the user's bathroom essentials due to its ergonomic and sturdy compartments. Meanwhile, the mirrored cabinet helps the user with grooming and vanity purposes, especially when they head to work or school. At the same time, the ceramic toilet matches the material and color of the washing sink. On the other hand, the bathroom walls are in Hong Lee's grey ceramic tiles, while the transom windows provide ventilation and light.
The living room has a marble tv feature wall conveniently located adjacent to the plush-looking sofa seater. But perfectly mounted on the marble tv feature wall is the latest LG Black Screen LED TV. The TV can provide hours of entertainment fun to the user, especially when they are watching classic rom-com like Sleepless In Seattle or You've Got Mail. At the same time, the entire flooring in the living spaces is vinyl wood. There is a Panasonic three-blade ceiling fan above the ceiling to provide ventilation and cooling air to the room. Moreover, the open sliding doors bring in natural sunlight.
The dining area utilizes an open space concept since it is situated next to the living room. For instance, the living spaces have no dividers or wall partitions restricting the entryway to both places. The SpeedyDecor customized wooden dining table is ergonomically comfortable for dining purposes and has strong durability due to it coming from quality oak wood. Nevertheless, the dining table has a simple and weathered aesthetic beauty. Hanging above the ceiling of the dining table is a duo of MyLighthouse modern pendant lights that make a great statement and help to illuminate the entire living space when the day turns dark.
The kitchen has a gorgeous and functional Speedy Decor customized U-shaped kitchen layout. Therefore, this factor makes all the culinary tasks in the kitchen more efficient. For example, two or more cooks can do their jobs simultaneously - from cooking, dicing raw foods or washing dirty dishes at the sink. Besides possessing aesthetic beauty, this U-shaped kitchen is also ideal for entertaining visiting guests, or when you have big family to cook and feed upon. On the other hand, the U-shape layout also provides less traffic flow since the narrow space enables less people to crowd in the kitchen area.
The bedroom has a large MegaFurniture king-sized bed that looks comfortably cozy and inviting. Therefore, this feature means more than two sleepers can lie down and sleep on it for hours. Take, for example, a married couple with a small child of 5 to 8 years old. At the same time, the IKEA grey bed sheets on the bed match perfectly with the colors of the walls on the upper part of the bedstand. On the other hand, the dominant walls in the bedroom are in Nippon pristine white to give the living spaces a clean and soothing outlook.
Overall, one can conclude and give a high-five that the unit is designed professionally for a typical Japanese-style Muji home despite its lack of space. Other than that, the designer uses plenty of wood materials to give the entire living space a simple, clean-cut and minimalistic look. At large, wood is a common material in many Muji-styled homes due to its aesthetic beauty and strong durability. For example, this unit incorporates a lot of wood material in its furniture and decor, like the Speedy Decor customized wooden kitchen cabinet. However, we like the wooden kitchen cabinet since it looks clean and refreshing due to its incorporation of light-toned wood materials. Not only that, the light-toned color of the wood helps to brighten up the entire living space and visually enhance the spaces to a greater extent.
Finally, the theme and design of the house are consistent, while the colors are natural and light.
