    Not sure how extensively you want to reno - is a new place right?

    Can consider to:

    - knock down half the wall with stove and install clear glass (height dependent on whether you hv hood and upper cabinets) - something like the glass between my kitchen and study.

    - knock down the fridge wall, install a small bar counter/ island and shift the fridge outside like a dry kitchen/bfast nook concept.

    - use the balcony as dining area as suggested by other RT folks. But rem to install a ceiling fan in the balcony to keep cool.

    So with the above the living room shd look more spacious.

    Else if you really want to keep dining indoors, try installing booth dining instead? Saves space... One side of booth seat against wall n the other booth seat you can keep empty or put bookshelves or storage.

    Kitchen seems a bit small... Alternatively after you move the fridge out, instead of knocking down that wall retain n build up a tall cabinet for storage n kitchen equipment. Glass door for kitchen?

    Thanks for the suggestion. thinking of knocking down the wall on the fridge side, but it will look odd as the stove side wall stand alone

    Hi there! Yours seems like a condo yeah? How many people will stay here? If yours is a small family, can consider round dining table with custom made curved dining bench against the wall. Or perhaps you could hack the wall between dining table and kitchen to accommodate island cum dining table, then push the yard further into the existing WC?

    Yes, it is. my family has 3 members

    Mybe you can do what i did, since i had a similar problem. Make the kitchen open concept and incorporate a kitchen island in it. Hopefully the island can sit 2 to 4 people. Then you can have a bigger dining table in the balcony?

    Yes, thinking of knocking the walls off and make a Island. But won't it be odd if wall that house the stove is still on?

    Hello! Where's ur new place?

    The balcony is huge, suggest u bring yr dining table out and put either glass invisible collapsible doors or at least good blinds to block agst elements that way u can have a bigger living room.

    it is in pasir ris.Thought of bringing the dining table to the balcony. Glass door would be dangerous if got kids , right? Although it surely look nice and spacious

    Thanks for all ur comments. I am doing feature wall for living room and MBR. Two toilets are overhauling,as i believe toilet very important for a house

    WAHHH what are you going to reno?? I think it's very nice.. move-in condition ah! Congrats on the beautiful house!!

    Hi pinkpetter, I spent large portion of the reno on toilets, as it is the portion which i feel that might not match the modern look theme. I changed all the doors, all to veneer doors, and change the toilet doors, install kitchen glass door, raised platform near the full length window, feature wall in MBR and living room, overlay laminated flooring for all room, errect divider for dinning area, overhaul the toilets ( install light box)................

    I can consider myself touching up all the loose end which the previous owner has not done to make the whole house looks really nice la. Aiya, I am afraid so much money on reno, the final might not be impressive, hehehe

    If you are thinking of engaging any ID, please don't engage ****** pte Ltd or Chevron Design or else you will regret it. Please go and read about them in the forum, tons of negative comments and complaints about them and their work. Worst thing they collect money before all jobs are completed and thereafter you will not be able to find them.

    Best is to have your own design and asked the contractor to do for you. Outsource to many of them and can get direct price which will help you to save a lot and money worth. If one play you out, your house will not be hold up by them and you can still proceed on and you will not lose your hard earned money. Remmember anything goes wrong between you and the ID, the law always protect the ID not you.

    Thanks for ur advice, Kevin. Who is the ID person In-charge, just in case they change company name. PM the person in-charge , what to look out for this kind of ID home.
