One spot in their flat which Bonita poured a lot of time and effort into designing is the kitchen.
“We spent a lot of time back and forth at IKEA just to figure out the flow. [I got inspiration] from IKEA, and a lot of Pinterest and Xiaohongshu [posts] just to confirm where should we put things so they make sense because I cook,” says Bonita.
The couple also did plenty of research in advance. She adds: “We visited a lot of showrooms of kitchens, we went to see Japanese kitchens, but that was very expensive. We’re talking around S$80,000 just for a kitchen, and we tried to get a cheaper version from IKEA.”
In the end, Bonita spent just “six to seven thousand dollars” creating her ideal kitchen.
Bonita and Alex’s bedroom is simple — it houses a large bed that comes with storage underneath, as well as Alex’s work station.
But one of the main reasons why the purchased the flat, as Bonita puts it, is because of the walk-in wardrobe that’s adjacent to their room.
