A homeowner in Singapore has wowed many with how she renovated her shoebox flat.

From previously looking dark and cramp, the flat has now been transformed to look brighter and more spacious.

STOMPer Shoesize14 was amazed when he came across these pictures of how modern this shoebox flat looked after renovations.

Said the STOMPer:

"Magnificent.

"I think it was a pretty neat trick of her to use mirrors to give the illusion of a brighter space area.

"Despite sharing her flat with her mom, the flat does not look cramp at all.

"In fact, her utility room can even double up as a guest room, which means there might be 3 people in the flat at times!

"I guess it does help that the homeowner does seem quite neat, and hence regularly packs her home area to make it less messy.

Make use of vertical space Hangs over doors Fix a drop leaf table to the wall. Mount two heavy duty hooks onto the wall on either side of the table to hang up both folding chairs when not in use. 3. Foldable, stackable, nestable pieces save

Studio apartment investor goes all-in

2013 feb 18 Studio apartment investor goes all-in No diversification needed when one is young, property investor tells CAI HAOXIANG Most investors live by the virtues of diversification - that is, not putting all your eggs in one basket. Not Ryan Khoo Chung Ming. The 30-year-old bought his first apartment in his native Malaysia in 2007 when looking for a place to stay. Then, the market was not as buoyant. He spotted an opportunity for studio apartments and bought more and more, maxing out his borrowing limits. He even moved to Singapore in 2009 to get a higher-paying job so he could borrow even more.
