Welcome to our everyday retreat~ Nothing beats unwinding in this bedroom haven after a long day! A third of our lives is spent in our bedrooms, so never regret styling it up ✨ 
Let’s begin a tour of our cosy haven, starting with its entrance. As we approach the end of the hallway, we are greeted by our customised barn door. The texture and warm colour of the door gives a welcoming touch, setting the mood for what’s inside. 
As we open the barn door, the transition from the hallway to our bedroom is smooth and inviting. The white-toned, shackle-styled wardrobes provide a fresh and stylish element, subtly shifting from the Japandi theme to something unique but still harmonious with the warm wood tones prevalent throughout the house. 
Conveniently placed at the entrance of our bedroom, our white Moes smart switches seamlessly integrate with the white Admira laminates of our wardrobes. These switches control our bedroom and bathroom lightings as well as the LED strips in our wardrobes. We love how we can manage these lights remotely via the Tuya app on our phone. Whether we are away from home and realised we have left the lights on or want to ensure the bathroom ventilator remains on for a period after a shower, the app’s timing features offer practical and efficient solutions. 
Stepping further into our bedroom, the atmosphere evolves into a luxurious hotel-inspired master ensuite. The space exudes elegance and comfort, perhaps featuring plush bedding, sophisticated lighting, and high-end finishes. Now, can you guess where our bathroom is? 😜 
Here it is! Our concealed bathroom accessed via our walk-in closet. A sleek en-suite bathroom with modern fixtures and a relaxing ambiance completes the experience. 
We decided to go classic for a luxurious bathroom statement and opted for marble paired with gold accents to create a sanctuary for us to unwind and relax. 
We chose bigger wall tiles to create an illusion of a bigger space in our bathroom sanctuary. Not forgetting another arc shower screen to complement the curves of our golden rainshower 🚿💛 
A dreamy bathroom retreat! Ain’t this a perfect place to unwind? 
A perfect walk out of the closet 🙂↔️ 
Our statement piece here will be Woosa’s adjustable bed which comes with a massaging feature and USB charging ports at each side of the bed. The fluted headboard nicely matches Vwalla’s fluted panels and Castlery’s Harper side table, creating a cohesive and stylish look. 
We love how our bedroom is beautifully illuminated by our yeelight which has a 7 colour LED strip. This is perfect for creating different atmospheres in our bedroom. Being able to adjust the colors remotely adds a nice touch for setting the mood, whether we want a cozy vibe or something more energizing. To enhance our sleep environment, we have also installed motorized double pleated night curtains which does wonder in blocking out light effectively, creating a dark, cozy space, perfect for winding down. The convenience of controlling them remotely makes it even easier to set the right atmosphere for a good night sleep. 
Our Terrazzo Hanging Lights from Taobao is another stunning addition to our bedroom. They bring symmetry to our bedroom setting and perfectly complements the gentle glow from the LED light strip on our fluted headboard. This combination merges the charm of our milky latte texture paint from wallhub. The subtle sophistication of our grey texture paint adorning the bedhead wall set the tone for relaxation. It’s great how these design elements work together to enhance the overall aesthetic and mood of our bedroom space. 
In order to fully maximise our wardrobe space, we incorporated Higold’s mechanism where we can easily access the clothes at the top wardrobe by pulling down the lever. This adds a convenient and functional element to our storage setup. 
A close up view of this lovely mechanism 😍 Their beauty combined with functionality makes them a great choice for our bedroom. 
Having a dedicated space for handbag display is a dream for many women. Unique to this wardrobe will be the customised compartments for handbags. This helps to keep them organized and easily accessible while showcasing them beautifully. 
It’s so easy to select the perfect bag for any occasion! 
Walking into the wardrobe to our dressing area! Castlery’s boucle stool stands at a perfect height for our comfort. There is also a customised pull-out drawer from Higold to store all our jewelleries and charms. 
The perfect mirror in our vanity wardrobe ✨ 
Hidden behind the mirror are compartments for more storage! This addresses the storage challenges many women face. Isn’t this every lady’s dream vanity? 😉 
Lastly, we have a pull-out full length mirror that is seamlessly integrated into our wardrobe. This maximizes space and maintains a clean, uncluttered look. It is an excellent solution for those who want the convenience of a full-length mirror without sacrificing valuable room space. 
The perfect exit to our slumber haven. A hallway brightly lit up by our smart lights 💡🌟 The timeless elegance of herringbone patterns stretching along the hallway adds a classic touch. 
As we approach the end of our hallway, we are greeted by the beauty of our arch niche. Its curved shape creates a sense of elegance and depth, drawing the eye and adding architectural interest to our humble abode.
