Welcome to my home—a space that’s slowly grown into a reflection of who I am. From a sun-soaked corner that greets me every morning to quiet, dimly lit corners perfect for winding down, every detail here was shaped with purpose. Swipe through for a peek into the layout, the transformations, and little joys that make this place feel just right. 
Our apartment is located at the North-East region and this is our floor plan where we've kept the original layout intact. The total renovation cost is around 45k excluding furnishing. The goal was to make every corner work hard without feeling cluttered. It took a bit of rearranging (and a lot of trial and error), but I’m finally happy with how things came together. 
I’ve kept the palette neutral and layered in little touches that make the space feel like me. One of them is the STOFF Nagel candleholder—purely decorative but sculptural and adds a quiet elegance. I usually pair it with a scented candle (rotating between various scents depending on my mood). There’s something really comforting about coming home to a space that smells as good as it looks. 
Sunbeams pour in during the day – The natural light here in the late afternoon is chef’s kiss. It makes this space feel alive. 
This corner’s a real multitasker—morning coffee zone, makeshift office, and dinner-for-two spot. I went for a clean look with wood accents to keep it grounded and warm. 
Tucked beside the dining table is a little pantry corner where my coffee machine lives—small but mighty. It’s my favourite morning ritual spot; there’s just something about that first cup of coffee made at home that feels grounding. It’s not a big space, but it’s filled with comfort (and caffeine), and that’s more than enough. 
The vibe shifts entirely at night with warm lights and mellow tunes—it’s where I recharge, host, or just sit and do nothing. 
My master bedroom is pretty much in line with the rest of the home—calm, warm, and intentionally simple. I kept to a neutral palette and soft textures. The morning sun streams in just right, and at night, it’s all about winding down with soft lighting and familiar scents. It’s not extravagant, but it’s everything I need to feel at ease. 
A corner reclaimed. This vanity area located in the master bedroom was carved out by converting my old wardrobe into an L-shape layout. It’s compact, but it’s one of my favourite little luxuries. I’m only sharing my master bedroom for now—mainly because the other two rooms are kept pretty simple and untouched, with no major renovations. They’re functional, but this space is where most of the thought and intention went.
