Oh.. here's my current home layout and overall look..You can see that I didnt succeed in creating the oriental cum urban resort theme. U can also see my kitchen cabinet colour scheme is totally out from the urban resort theme too.. Dont ask me why.. I just choose design from a magazine and get contractor to do it. And I regret. For the new house, I already have any idea where to place the furniture. Just that, I wonder what I should do to enhance and create the overall look to be more oriental cum urban resort theme if I am using back the existing furniture. Eg. Colour of floor tiles, skirtings, kitchen cabinet colours, study room cabinet colour if I have budget to do. Wall colours? Don't intend to have feature TV wall as that will cost alot. So, is there any type of painting I should opt for and where to find them to enhance the TV console area. Thanks alot.

Lastly, For the Kitchen, I intend to re use this hanging lamp. Will be buying a round dining table due to space contraint in kitchen. What type of round table do you suggest - Glass top or Chinese marble top round table? And also for kitchen cabinet, what sort of theme do you suggest? For my master bed room, I also wonder if I should paint the bed frame and chest drawer to teak wood colour. One of my friends commented that I have too many different 'theme' in each room. So, do u guys suggest that I should make the bed frame and chest drawer the same colour as those furniture pieces I have in the living room too? Would appreciate your suggestion. If you have photos of your home decor which match the oriental urban resort theme that I am trying to achieve, would greatly appreciate your help to show me as a guide. Dont think will do alot of woodwork as already have so many furnitures. So, probably will need to look at the colour theme for the wall, kitchen, etc. Thanks for your advises and suggestions in advance. And also Thanks for your patience in reading this post.

I have some decorative display pieces. Would like to use them in the living room to enhance overal look and bring the oriental feel in.. But not sure how to do it. Do I put them all in living room or I should split them up into different room? Any good suggestions as to how I can make good use of these decorative items?

Furniture pieces for Study room are not coordinated pieces. Intend to use my existing dining table as study table for the children. Any suggestion as to how I can improve on overall look for study room? Will post up photos of decorative pieces I have at home seperately. Thanks

Hi Finally took photos of my home furniture pieces to show you guys. Hopefully, with this, I can get some ideas from you on how I can create an urban resort theme with oriental touch. As I have too many of them, I have grouped them to the space area I intend to place them in. Living Room Will post furniture for study room seperately. Thanks

Hi Thanks for all the suggestion. Really appreciate it. Yup, its great idea to take photos of my current furnitures to show first so that you guys have better idea and can help me with more ideas. Am planning to do so after next week as we are also taking photos of the current home for valuation purpose. Keep u guys posted. Thanks guys for ur constructive suggestions. Regards Lost

Hi I am very happy that finally I found a new place nearer to my mum's place. Just bought a HDB resale flat. The condition of the flat is very bad. Definitely need to redo everything which is good for me. But with limited budget, I cant do complicated design and definitely have to use back all my existing furnitures from my current home. My headache - I have always wanted to achieve the urban resort kind of theme for my home. With a bit of oriental feel. In my current house, I made mistake by not engaging ID and had done the design based ideas gotten from home decoration books. At the end, the total feel is completely out. So this time round, I want to make sure that I dont repeat the same mistake again. However, due to budget constraint, I cant afford to engage an ID. I have to rely on contractors who can help coordinate the work. I also cannot spend alot of renovation woodwork. So, u can imagine that my new home will be quite simple which will not be like those extensive designs that you see from those renovation companies' website. I hope I can get advise from you experts on what is best for me if I have following restrictions: Need to use back existing furnture pieces - For Living Room, the pieces are mostly teak wood furnture i.e. those indonesian teak furnitures (1 TV console, 1 shoe cabinet, 2 coffee table) and 1 rattan cum wooden cabinet which i used as prayer altar. So, now I am lost and I dont know how do I make use of these furniture to blend into the urban resort cum oriental theme for the living room. So, who can I approach for help to translate my idea and also to help on the colour scheme? Do you have any suggestions for me? Looking forward to learn from you guys. Sorry for the long story...
