You can place a thicker mattress protector in between eradicate that "in-between" line. Ikea has good ones. Did you or your ID have to get HDB's permission for the toilet wet works? And this too. According to what I know, extension of toilet wet areas are not allowed under any conditions, and particularly stricter when no alteration is permitted for new BTO flats. How did you go about it?

4Rm Resale Reno Journey!
43atCR replied to hc28's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB Resale Renovation & Interior Design
I would be very cautious working with someone who has no sense of punctuality even in meet up. Imagine having to trust him to deliver the deadlines during your reno and after you have paid him. -
Quite surprised your ID didn't suggest this instead of leaving it "dead".

Since it's a bachelor pad, you may want to consider merging both toilets to allow more space for shower n vanity carpentry.

Going by your Hitachi rvg690p3ms Fridge, your cupboard will have to have a depth more than 740mm (745 perhaps) so that it can allow a coverage for the fridge (fit the fridge within its casing). Are you sure a bulky cupboard would do well for your dining? Also you need the swing space for your fridge door, plus at another least 600-700mm for your dining chair's drag space. Your dining set will have to move more towards the left, thus blocking the entrance of the front door. Unless of course you do not mind chairs to be pushed right under the table whenever you open the fridge or whenever you have someone using that seat, you do not open the fridge doors? Maybe you would like to consider this.

To create a Balinese theme for the home you may need to understand two fundamentals - texture and colour. It really doesn't mean putting some 'lookalike' items you get the desired outcome for the theme - like your stones, which are in contrast to your Balinese/Javanese thematic home. Balinese/Javanese designs seldom have stone elements in their homes - with the exceptional of naturalistic flooring styles - plain cement screed or non-matted tiles if you have to.Those "designer hollow block" stones are more for Balinese outdoors where the greenery can soften the stones. When used indoors, it breaks the plushy ambiance. The walls and ceiling exude warmth and softness, depicting the rustic and natural elements brought from outside into the home. Thus you may need a soft slab of wall - which can be done by wall-papering, and the ceiling. I suggest the use of grass cloth on the ceiling to kill the hardness. Some layering in fabric is necessary if your home is primarily stone-based. See-through glass to allow light to permeate and use soft touches of wood-based partitions to help create a rustic feel, which is prominent in all Balinese/Javanese themed home. Leather and Plastics should not be glaring in the household too. Lighting needs to manage together with an ample amount of correct greenery inside the home. The prominent element should be wood in the house - so consider flooring, walls and furniture. Some aesthetics can be infused with modernity but the Balinese/Javanese theme poses a greater challenge because you need to manage its rustic and softer appeal. Good luck on your endeavour.
