HOUSE OF CURVES | BEAUTIFUL & COMPACT LUXURY APARTMENT
An often asked question interior designers get from many homeowners is how much is the standard rate of renovating a home? How much does it cost to make my house beautiful?
In this project designed by Nu Infinity, we study the art of creating a lasting impact without breaking the bank. Explore the condo interior design of a 1,100 sq ft high rise property of a young couple who moved from Singapore to Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
One step into this beautiful abode, you’re immediately greeted by a mesmerizing curved archway with an inviting teaser to the rest of the open floor plan awaiting inside.
Curve elements reign supreme in this space from the graceful arches to the curved furniture and custom ceiling curves, setting the stage for a unique and cohesive interior. The colour palette for this home is a symphony of earthy tones blending together seamlessly to create a harmonious visual experience.
At the start of renovation after months of discussion, a challenge arose. The original tiles that came with the house were popping out. Only after removing them, did the designers realise the tiles were hollow, causing a delay. Nu Infinity took it as a blessing in disguise, taking opportunity to change the plain flooring to timber floorboards.
Most newly built developer condominium units come with off-white tiles and a mediocre kitchen design chucked in thoughtlessly. Choosing a herringbone pattern for the floor imbued more character and warmth to the space, making it more cozy and inviting. What was once an ordinary and uninspiring area has been transformed into a sanctuary of style and comfort.
It is common practice in Nu Infinity to always take advantage of all the natural lighting that can be achieved from even an apartment. The client’s brief was to turn the initial open hall or guest room to the left of the entrance into a walk in wardrobe. Instead of closing up the wardrobe as a private enclosed room with walls, fluted sliding doors were installed.
This enlarges the impression of space and acts as a highlighted feature at the entrance. During the day it also allows natural lighting to permeate into the deeper end of the unit. In the kitchen area, the existing timber door leading to the laundry area was removed, and replaced with a fluted glass bi-fold door, saving space, allowing natural lighting in, and reducing noise from the freeways situated just outside.
At Nu Infinity, client interviews are taken seriously to extract sufficient details of the client’s daily lifestyles to curate their new dream home. Detailed measurements of displays were taken to create well-fitting display cabinets. All wirings were designed to be hidden to ensure a clean, well-kept environment.
The TV cabinet was designed to be larger than the length of the living area to make the entire open space feel larger in impression. Tailored to the client’s lifestyle, the smart home features included integrate sophisticated lighting control, creating different customisable atmospheres.
Understanding the client’s brief, Nu Infinity knew that the wardrobe space in the bedroom would not be sufficient. As a solution, the daily wear was placed at easy access in the master bedroom while the guest room was converted into a walk in wardrobe that every woman dreams of.
A drawer designed to accommodate hair dryers and curling irons keep the daily clutter out of sight. A pull-out full body mirror in the wardrobe and two big round mirrors at the dressing table creates ample dressing space for two people.
Summary
This extraordinary journey through an elegantly curated home for the young couple dignifies the art of design, where every corner holds a surprise and every detail whispers a tale of transformation. A parting thought: let your home be the canvas where memories are painted because a well-designed space isn’t just a space to return to, it is a sanctuary that transforms the ordinary into extraordinary.
