Sometimes, home renovation isn’t as simple as one might imagine. Constraints like immovable walls and architectural quirks can become obstacles to our dream design. This was the case for A (@ohhmyy.home) and her husband, who had to work around a structural pillar in their living room while renovating their home in Sengkang West Way.

What they wanted for their home was a mix of modern Scandinavian, but with this dilemma, they had to make some adjustments since they couldn’t remove the pillar out of the way.

Their home is located in Sengkang West Way, where they applied during a BTO launch in August 2017. “We wanted to stay in the Sengkang area as back then our parents and siblings were in the same location,” A said, “but they have all shifted since then.”

Presently, only the couple and their 2-year-old toddler are staying at their place, together with their 3 cats.
