It’s that time, where Christmas and the New Year are approaching, and we’re invited to the homes of our family and friends, only to find out that compared to last year, their space looks so much wider and cleaner compared to the clutter that we have at home.

The new leather pull-out couch, a fresh coat of paint, the image before your eyes feels very much like the Pinterest-worthy home decoration that you’ve wanted before you got your first home. You smell the fresh and familiar scent of lavender in the air and hear the soft purring of the robot vacuum whirring across the newly set white tiles on the floor.

Perhaps this is the home that I want, perhaps it’s time for a change.

With the pandemic measures slowly easing, families and friends soon get ready to approach the new year and festivities with bigger expectations and excitement, for the time to celebrate is indeed drawing near. The clean ups in our homes during the Circuit Breaker period really paid off, and since there are more spaces to be filled in our homes, you may begin to think of a change, a meaningful change for your home.

Whether you are a new homeowner or even a proud owner of a mature home, this is for you. Perhaps one or two of these Home Inspiration channels will allow you to let your creativity explode and well, improve your home!

The Interior Lab is predominantly an interior design firm that centers on bringing their customer’s ideals and visions to life. They place a high level of importance in understanding the needs and wants of their customers to tailor fit the right home for them. From assisting customers in building their first love nest to big corporate brands, The Interior Brand has since grown into sharing their love and passion for the job, and taken the fun to the platform of Youtube, where they share short home tours of satisfied clients, and hopefully, inspire you to build your first home with them.

From modern minimalist to grungy chic, they have it all. If you are looking for ideas to add to your new home or even to renovate one portion of your living space, do give them some consideration! Certainly, if you like anything from the video tours, you can also opt to do some budget-DIY by yourself and see how much you can save with a few nips and tucks!

Personally, I particularly enjoyed the 5-Room BTO video located in Yishun. The designer featured a few accent walls and the couple opted to have a larger kitchen by hacking down one of the bedrooms, allowing for a 3m long island in the middle of the kitchen. It’s truly a marvel. I was astounded at how the designers managed to utilize the space and even provided for different living spaces within the same house. Overall, the house was clean and looked so homely. Though I can’t say I have watched all of them, what I have seen was impressive so you may want to give it a look as well!

For now, enjoy the videos that they have to offer!

The channel that got me hooked to write this article, Thoughtworthy Co is run by a lovely pair who focuses on maximizing their living space and creating a minimalist lifestyle. Their most popular video, the 3-Room Home Tour, proudly places their lifestyle as a benchmark for those who wish to live a similar lifestyle. 

My honest thoughts when I first began watching the show was, “How could anyone live like this?”, but then again, I thought perhaps this is indeed the best way to live, to live without much so you learn to appreciate the better things in life and learn that our desires in life are not solely satisfied by materials needs and wants but rather, compromise.

It is also heartening to see and witness from them that with not much, we can always make something out of it. Further, as you create a smaller living space for you and your family, there is not much to clean either, a win-win in any aspect!

Check out their channel here and hopefully, you will be inspired!
