- Design Challenge
- Although the all-white palette presents a relaxing and makes the space roomier and brighter, it may also create a boring and dull design. Therefore, our designer has put two ceiling lights in the dining area, used light oak furniture and hung a colourful painting above the sofa as highlights.
Moreover, the house owners claimed that they have a huge storage area need for the house. Knowing that excessive cabinets will make space a lot messier, the designer has then made good use of the high ceiling level, set various full height cabinets with doors, to keep the house neat and clean. - Project Duration
