Your house is so spacious, not like the normal 3-room la... Is it a corner unit?? How large is the floor area? Looks good lo. I think house will look good if can keep it neatly, but it's easier said than done! :-P It's quite impossible to keep it like a showroom once live in, haha... I try to plan on things to store when discussing on the cabinet design. But when it's built now, I realize some storage area is too small and not practical to store certain things.

Example:

1. The full height cabinet to hide piping -> Plan to use it to store broom, aluminium poles for hanging clothes, thought there are some shelves above can put little things for laundry (detergent etc)

Reality: 1-feet width, too narrow to even fit in a broom with dustpan, need to consider the cabinet edge, so actual <30cm width :-(

No shelving, so cannot put laundry stuff also :-(

2. The remaining tiles after renovation - especially 60x60cm tiles, not sure whether to put. Try the kitchen lower cabinet, cannot fit 60x60cm....

Any suggestion how you organize these things?

For your curtain and blind, can't justify by just total amount coz your window does look big! Haha... Depend on $$ psf, can see whether is reasonable or not, no break down hard to calculate liao. If can last, then I think worth the money la. You seems to have a lot of built-in cabinet. Does that cost a lot to build? Can know roughly how much you spent on the reno alone (excluding wiring etc)?

Mine's a 3-rm corridor unit next to corner. Abt the same layout as urs. but it's a 3A 74sqm or 796sqf so slightly bigger than urs lor! Hee hee

U r rite, i've quite a fair bit of built-ins. Besides the kitchen cabinet, which was included in the standard package, the carpentary already made up abt $13K of my overall $48K complete overhaul (except bedroom floors - overlay with laminates - & door frames) (inclusive of abt $3.2K of full electrical works)

I kept the storeroom - in fact, i hacked the original (which was part of the living hall area) & re-erected it at the kitchen area (as i had a relatively big kitchen) to make the living hall bigger - to hide my bulky & unsightly stuff.. hee hee Besides this, din change the layout & went for a more conventional contemporary look because of the folk at hm.. wld hv gone off-track a little if staying alone..
