Making Room: An HDB smart home inspired by grandma’s Peranakan dresser | CNA Lifestyle

CNA Lifestyle’s Making Room series looks at small homes with big transformations. This week, we visit a three-room flat where the couple took their design cues from an old family heirloom - but with a modern spin (it’s also a smart home).

What a lovely and nostalgic home! Well done 😊

[@ajisenramen888]

I love love love your bathroom design. ❤️

[@beno94]

imagine designing your entire house to compliment the design of a single dresser!

[@dharshanak296]

Nice! It’s always interesting to see how people translate their personality traits into interior design, & showcase their creativity especially when constrained by space.

[@hilmir]

nice and humble home. unlike some homes, theirs is unpretentious while at the same time functional and beautiful. good job!

[@dwichiesa]

Glad they enjoy their house! Different from what I had in mind

[@alanteo6236]

[@Hs000_00]

Dont know why but I love this couple

[@scarletK15]

Really happy to see CNA feature this beautiful home! I first saw it on the ID’s website previously and I was in love!! I scrutinised each and every picture and lauded over every detail! Great to hear more about the homeowner’s background and their design inspiration.

[@nadiahothman922]

Thank you you’re so sweet! Come say hi and follow our house on IG @ourgreennook! ❤️

Nice. This couple has good taste.

[@maressaz]

Very nice home! :) definitely defines the couple. ((Also, when they said "Okay Google", it triggered my Google. Twice. Lol!))

Oops... Hope you were okay with jazz suddenly playing on your devices!

[@maressaz]

@@RidzwanIsmail The husband listens to jazz daily. Lol

[@tessagoh2251]

I love love love this house!!😍

[@23Jboy]

[@lindmohamad3726]

Nice 👍 Alhamdulillah

[@sambalgoreng]

they really upped the space! love that vanity!!

[@xinying9552]

Ooh I love the how the heritage look has been updated. Really lovely palette and pieces in the house. Looks so cohesive.

[@bukitacab]

best house ive seen so far...

[@Iendleasereit]

Nice. Chic kitchen floor tiles!

[@dt3144]

Too many displayed items here and there to collect dust....happy cleaning

[@syumassh]

Lol, what a vapid comment. They designed a home that reflects their interests; you think they're not aware that the cleaning will be more tedious. Thanks for the great insight Sherlock.

[@oooo112211]

People can't even express a single trace of disapproval of a video content due to the ever-present "defenders". Why are u guys so mean? Just because you love something doesn't mean that other people must love it. And they are not even criticising the design..since when are we disallowed to express our dislike?

[@syumassh]

@@oooo112211 I'm just expressing my assessment of the comment; my right to respond to negativity. Never ending right? Well that's what you opine; so I'm exercising it. Nobody is making you love it; we all have opinions (just like noses). So what's the root cause of this never ending cycle of opinions? Negativity. So imagine if this person never commented or deletes the comment. None of us would be expressing any of this upon each other. When you start with negativity; don't cry foul when you get it served back to you.

[@tricialow217]

Such a lovely home. But the TV and the fridge are not quite compatible with the retro vibes of the hse

[@Vitruvian1.618]

It looks appealing but I find it a little cluttered. Maybe the furnitures are too big or maybe the space is small, the proportions can be kept better to make it visually more appealing besides the colour and decor now.

[@wan8655]

It’s their space not yours nobody ask for your opinion

[@Vitruvian1.618]

@@wan8655 neither yours on mine

[@silcosilva]

do i need to standby popcorns..?

[@Dtherexx]

Its a nice hdb too

[@richardwong1965]

Junk house?

[@daddyraffles7083]

Awesome 👍

[@BB-yl4wv]

Good luck with cleaning with such tiles in the kitchen and toilets

[@Lee-vo4by]

- Breeze blocks will be difficult to clean with dust collecting at every opening. Also, it seems to be painted finish, so have to be careful as there might be stains when you use damp cloth to wipe. - The space to be used as study area is not going to be useful if used for several hours. There is no electricity socket to charge laptop, mobile phone etc. - Don't fancy the idea of having the clothes wardrobe in the dining/study area due to privacy issues when you have guests over - The house seems dim even when the lights are switched on.

[@Lee-vo4by]

@@wan8655 I didn't ask for your opinion either

[@wan8655]

So much comment you buying the house ah?

[@Lee-vo4by]

@@wan8655 I see you have deleted your earlier unfriendly comment.
