Hi, We suggest that you g⁠⁠⁠⁠o for grey (safer) or black (more "loud" and daring) laminate colours as it matches really well with the granite you have. These colours will definitely give a touch of elegance and express a modern look theme! You may also do polishing for your Granite to give it back its shine thus you will look like you have a new kitchen! Please do contact us in jojo@stoneamperor.com.sg and we may provide you more information and feedbacks about countertops! Cheers, Stone Amperor team

I LOVE OLD QUEENSLANDERS.....emphasis on O L D! What a sight, a tall Queenslander...having come into being because of the heat in this State and therefore on tall and not so tall piers...I LOVE these houses but with one exception...and probably because in those days ther were no such things as... LIFTS! Nobody thought of the older Queenslander human whose hips and knees are worn out from hard work on the land..or for the little kids and toddlers.....STAIRS, STAIRS and more STAIRS! Beautiful gracious staircases....but.... Recently a young enthusiastic couple built a magnificent looking replica old Queenslander right across from my place. I watched it go up...and so did the rest of the neighbourhood...well, not criticising the modern builder but I'd rather have a genuine old Queenslander put together with hammer and iron nails! STAIRS seemed to have been made into a feature. The land overlooks a waterway that is prone to flooding so the piers had to be quite high....and that meant more treads! I think that maybe the builders were unaware of the need for a landing every...is it eight? steps? The back steps are straight up the rear of the house...no landings....OOOFFF going to welcome your new neighbiurs! I would not build a replica Queenslander but if I couldn't help myself I'd install A LIFT and I would invent a feature for going up and down .for the children...and I'd get my inspiration from some of the great Theme Parks that have to comply to strict safety standards.....Then and only then would I build a replica Old Queenslander...But I'd prefer A REAL ONE! .It has been my experience that replicas do not have the strength of the enormous oldies. For example: Show me a replica Queenslander with iron cyclone bolts securing the floor of the house to the piers. Show me a replica Queenslander where every VJ board in the walls and ceilings is held to the next with hidden nails? Show me one where the framework is all tongue and groove each piece locked into the other.....that cannot be achieved anymore because timbers are not seasoned for between 30-50 years and such building methods would weaken the structural timbers used today...so said the builder who added a veranda to my old place. He took photographs of the joinery! I LOVE OLD QUEENSLANDERS...But I'd only buy a really old one and renovate it using old methods and as much old timber as possible...and I'd add a LIFT and a kids "upper and downer" if the steps were to be high. One thing above all would deter me from building one from scratch....the unavailability and the expense of genuinely old timber...if it could be sourced.. A replica would never match the longevity and the methods of construction of the old ones. Those times are gone! Those homes can never be repeated...only replicated and its not the same by any bash of the nail. You can't buy those nails anymore and its impossible to hire a crew as large as a swarm of ants to build an old Queenslander from scratch. We just do not build like that these days. Meaning no disrespect to the skilled modern day builder who does marvellous things for the modern day.....its impossible to build a genuine old Queenslander for many reasons. LOVE and ADMIRE and CHERISH the old Queenslander, BUY ONE if you can and restore it as genuinely as possible. We'll never see its like again from any perspective.

HDB Interior Design that Never Go Out of Style
Q
Comments (0)
In the year 1964, the government of Singapore decreed to provide its citizens a tangible asset in the country through what they call as the “Home Ownership for the People Scheme.” The government believed that an empowered citizen with a home of their own will eventually lead to a stable nation, economically and culturally. Since then, a lot of people in Singapore have resided in homes regulated by the Housing and Development Board or commonly known as the HBD. It is the main public housing authority and statutory board under the Ministry of National Development. Their goal is to provide the citizens with quality homes and environment suitable for living. They are guided by the concept of what they call as the “cohesive communities.” As part of its strict enforcement of their regulations, the Housing and Development Board do not allow renovation of the provided homes without their approval. If an individual wants to renovate an HDB house, he or she must seek and secure an approval and permit from the government agency to be able to carry out their tasks. A renovation without permit could mean penalties and sanctions from the HDB. Despite this strictness, people are still allowed to be given freedom and leeway to design their homes. There are a lot of HDB-accredited interior design companies which provide HBD renovation packages to give your pad a fresher and more unique look. Let’s take a look at some of the most beautiful design styles for HDB homes. Earthy tones palette – Nothing goes wrong with simple black, white, and earthy tones for your HDB interior design. The natural feel of earthy colors and palette will give you warm look, sophistication and feel acceptable for a lot of people. If you want a safe and surefire design for your small pad, you may want to consider doing earthy tones for it. Industrial – Because most of HDB homes are small, designs that are stylish yet functional are most needed. Using mirrors to create an illusion of wideness are commonly used by HDB renovation packages to visually enlarge the home. White and metallic colors can be used to provide a strong edgy look for your space. Funky and cool – If you are adventurous and love to experiment, try to splash your HDB interior design with funky and cool inspirations. Try to have fun with colors and the type of furniture. What is so special about this design theme is that it breaks the monotony of home spaces. It brings out the personality of an individual. Minimalist – Of course, the minimalist theme of design will never be out on this list. Sometimes, it is best to keep things in simplicity. White, black, gray and other neutral colors will work on this type of HDB interior designs. To cut the snooze, try to have centerpieces that are eye-popping. Accentuate the floor to make it stunning.

Clueless on rug color! Help me find my perfect rug!
Q

You already have your accent colour as your sofa pillows (log roll pillows). I would take one of them shopping with me to get a rug that has that colour in it. It doesn't need to be a lot of that colour (I love the idea of burgandy rug here...but it might be too much with your monotone scheme). You can find a large rug that incorporates that red/raspberry in it so that you have a colour that is now your accent.
