Renovating your HDB Flat - Bedroom Two

I call this bedroom two, because that is what was labelled in the HDB booklet for my estate. It is the room between my master bedroom and bedroom 3. I did not do a lot of renovation work for this room as I do not have a specific idea what to do with this room. Hopefully, in the future if I have kids, this room will be a children's room. Till then, it will just be a spare store room for me to keep stuff in.

Built-in cupboards to keep stuff in. Since this room might become a bedroom in the future, no harm adding some cupboards for storage space. Gotten my contractor to add cupboards to the room, with the cupboard reaching all the way up to the ceiling.


Adding storage space. I bought two EXPEDIT shelving units from IKEA. I placed one on it's side, and the other standing up. I added inserts with doors for the standing unit, so that I can keep dust out of the shelves. Honestly, installing the inserts was back breaking work. But after 3 hours, I can stand back and admire my own hard work in setting up the cupboard. Stickers are added on later to make it look really nice!


Adding display space. OK, so my wife and I ran out of display space in the living room. So we decided to fork out a bit more money for a display shelf. We checked out a number of places for glass displays, sold at around $90 - $200. Around this time, the DETOLF glass-door cabinet at IKEA goes on sale for $64.99. Adding a bit more money for transportation, I happily added another display cabinet for my home collections.
