Modern Red/white Home (?) @ Sengkang

[iwantitred 0]

About to start on renovation for our resale flat at Sengkang. Can't wait to watch the transformation of the kitchen and bathrooms especially.

The concept is modern, contemporary. Colour schemes...white, red and maybe another color (haven't decided yet)

Renovation has started for about 2 weeks now but it felt like so many things are already done. Very proactive ID/contractor

I love this! Really gives the place character.

Maybe pick the places that you want to highlight and go red for those? Certain places, like the bedroom, should still be calming, so I'd go with neutral colors. But then again, my entire house is neutral, so maybe I'm not the best to comment

red is nice but will it looks 'hot', too 热?

still it's individual preference... i like the maroon color pic..

i heard from my fren mentioned that some people will depend on fengshui and avoid red as its a 'too loud' color...

Hehe you are right. After some discussion, we are only giving it some accents here and there...but I've just managed to convince the partner to allow me 1 panel of red wall. We'll see how it turns out

Hi there Thanks for the input. Actually it is indeed a concern too after giving a thought about it We have locked in the colours to paint already so I'm just gonna keep the fingers crossed hope it won't turn out too loud >. <

I think it is nice to have pops of colors in the house and like you, we kinda locked in red but for living room only, green for kitchen, pink for MBR and probably yellow for our common room. This will be either accent, furniture or appliance. So long you like it, then your house will be beautiful

OMG, then will we see a mint green smeg?

Hi, I second what the others have shared. Red is nice colour but not advisable to use it too excessively.

My flat which is (still) undergoing a renovation now, we use red tiles in toilets and burgundy kitchen cabinets. We dare not use Fiery Red as we are not so daring.........LOL.
I know many who believe in Feng Shui will not recommend Red walls or too much reds in a home.

As we do not have a theme for our home and some will feel that it's so 'rojak'. Since we are not confined with a theme, it gives us the liberty to choose tiles, wall paints, home furnitures base on our likings and make selection of colours more easily.

Most of the colours in our unit are White, Ivory and some Black. Personally, I feel that some reds in the flat will make it less boring. Our home has nothing special but we love it because we get involved in choosing almost everything and we enjoy the renovation journey (this far) with some hiccups here and there.

I look forward to seeing more images of your place in your t-blog :-)
