From the renovation planning of a house til the big day itself is a long wait. The excitement from the thought of opening the door to your new house heightens your anticipation, frolicking here and there with the never-ending "oh my God". Here are some homes that have been renovated in less than 6 weeks or so that you can draw insights from!

1. Earthy Vibes

Warm hues from the orange lights and wooden furniture accompanied by the olive green walls emanate tranquility through the home, giving some sort of natural theme to the house. The consistency of straight lines gives a clean finish to this contemporary setting.

To add some spice to your home, stick with minimal colour coordination for your décor but not forgetting tiny splash of a contrasting colours here and there. A statement piece, like a chandelier in this case, would also help to give your new home a wow factor. This may look like it took a few months but it is transformed in a mere 5 weeks!

2. Black and White

With cabinets installed on the grounds and walls, the kitchen gets more moving space and is more organised. If nothing excites you on more than watching someone cook, then this layout is perfect. Just take a seat at the counter area and watch as a wok is being flipped.

Would it be a lie if I said we were never at one point, amazed by the huge, luxurious bathrooms at hotels? This toilet here has two basins and they are not the small ones we always use, just look at that size! This long bathroom offers space for a larger mirror (equals more quality selfie time) and cupboards for toiletries. You might think, “Wow, such a huge and renovated in 6 weeks? Impossible.” But yes, it is!

3. Spacious and Tidy

Scandinavian themed houses usually have a minimalistic and simple finish; it declutters the house without bargaining on the functionality. The large windows here let in rays of the sun and brightens up the room, creating an illusion that it is bigger. The room is separated distinctly into three parts by different colours, without having to put up anything physical.

Walk-in wardrobes that most girls dream of having but only appear in the homes of the super riches. Worry not, we have come up with one that could fit right in a flat. Look at how neat and tidy it is on the surface, one will never be able to tell that it is a walk-in wardrobe. Though slightly narrower, it still provides a great space for you to catwalk down your makeshift runaway!

4. White Spaces

One way to combat Singapore’s hot temperature is to integrate white colour into our homes. White is effective in refreshing and cooling in hot environment. The neutral colours and basic furnishing is aesthetically-pleasing and soothing, definitely an essential in unwinding.

Bean bags, fluffy mats, and a really soft-looking sofa. I don’t know about you but this would make me want to stay in even on working days, how to you say no to a bean bag that’s calling out to you?

5. Wooden Structures

The glass doors give an exclusive feel to the kitchen like it only grants access to people who can cook up a storm, say Gordon Ramsay. It also prevents smoke from entering the living room if you have the air condition turned on.

Inspired from the bathrooms of hotels all around the world glass partitions in toilets and furniture with clean straight cuts.The holiday vibes are strong with this one and the best thing, you can go home to it every day.

6. Multi-Purpose

Hanging the lightbulbs instead of fixing them into a lamp is just one of the many ways to give your home a rustic design. The exposed bricks add on a raw charm, not to mention how versatile it is and adapts to whatever decor you want to pair it with.

Space-saving and purposeful, you can not only use this as a dining table or a platform to just sit down, have chat but also turn it into a work space and it would still look appropriate.
