Hi Phy F, definitely check out Houzz's bedroom photos page for some inspiration. Use search terms like "guest bedroom" and you'll get many design ideas for guest bedroom-study room combinations: https://www.houzz.com.sg/photos/singapore/query/guest-bedroom/nqrwns

Don't forget to look in the Home Office photos section on Houzz ([https://www.houzz.com.sg/photos/singapore-home-office-design-photos-phbr1-bp~t_25480~r_231[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/photos/singapore-home-office-design-photos-phbr1-bp~t_25480~r_231)) also, as there are many study room inspirations that were converted from bedrooms!

This example is still considered a big room. My room cannot fit bed and study desk at the same time

HELP: Small L-shaped kitchen with refuse chute on wall!

Are you saying that cooking next to the chute would gross you out even if its covered? Andd to use it for its intended purpose? In the first picture, it looks like the stove is directly underneath the chute, but I can see in other pics that it is not. I think it is far enough away. If everything is bagged properly, it shouldn't be that bad. You will have to check on local code regarding having the stove next to the window. Code may make your decision for you. People usually just put shorter cabinets above that type of range hood. I would recommend doing so because you need all the storage you can get. The hood--being different from the bank of cabinets--will provide relief to the eye. With cabinets above, it'll still feel balanced. And, as for covering the chute, do you want to cover it and restrict access or do you still need to use it for its intended purpose and just want to camouflage it? To help the room feel pleasant, cheery, and light, I recommend using a glass tile. Even though it's applied to a wall, the translucency still shows and evokes a sense of the adjectives above. I think it would help keep things light. Consider a slightly higher toe-kick underneath the lower cabinets. It helps to create a lighter-footed feeling. You could also consider cabinets that have furniture style feet. for a more open feeling. Your kitchen seems like an ideal room to use modern, lacquered cabinets. I don't know if you like the super-modern look, but I think it could be nice. Maybe just for the uppers. Use a medium-to-light toned wood on the bottom. A limestone floor might be nice. Or you can do wood or laminate. You could go with dark or light. I think it's mostly about preference.

I'm not a pro (and I hope a real designer answers your question), but here's how my family does it in Singapore: 1. Get rid of things. Don't fall prey to sunk cost fallacies. Just because you bought a piece of furniture or a bunch of clothing or books or toys or whatever, doesn't mean you need to keep them if they are no longer working for you. You can sell stuff on Carousell or donate them to needy people. Sometimes not having those things will provide more value, by freeing up space, than the false belief that you need to keep things around because you paid for them. 2. Everything should be multi-function. Especially here in Singapore, everything should have multiple uses. Your bed can lift up to provide storage. Your book shelf can also be your entertainment stand. Your coffee table can double as a breakfast nook or homework table. No tool in your kitchen should be a one-job tool (for example, if you have a blender, a food processor, a spice grinder, an immersion blender, a coffee grinder and a mortar and pestle - maybe it's time to clean out the kitchen cabinets). 3. Rotate toys We have a baby at home and try really hard not to accumulate too many toys. To do that we have two toy bins. Every two weeks we switch the bin that's in rotation, so every two weeks our baby gets "new" toys that he hasn't seen for a few weeks. That allows us to keep the total number of toys to a minimum and he seems to be pretty happy (and hasn't caught on to this trick yet). Hope that helps some. Google around for "small apartment" blogs and ideas - there is a ton out there. Andrew

I found this story that you might be interested in: [Make a Small Spare Bedroom Work Harder[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/make-a-small-spare-bedroom-work-harder-stsetivw-vs~44762023)

and from that article I realised that foldable beds are really popular, among other options for study room - spare bedroom options.

Basically you'll want every piece of furniture in that guest room to have a double function, so that you can switch between guest-and-study room easily. Speak to a designer / renovator too, as they can identify issues that you may not have.

Hope that helps!

Here's another one: [8 Twists on the Guest Room-Office Combo[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/8-twists-on-the-guest-room-office-combo-stsetivw-vs~52514264). And also try using the popular phrase "study cum guest room" to find inspiration on the Photos page (https://www.houzz.com.sg/photos/singapore/query/Study-cum-Guest-room) Some of the rooms in the story are really tiny. The approach is the same for SG: trying to make each space and furniture piece work many functions,

You may want to consider those dual hidden furniture - table that flips down into a bed.
