Customized Laundry Room Storage: Redefining Efficiency in Singapore’s Compact Homes
Singapore’s luxury residential boom demands storage solutions that harmonize sophistication with functionality. With 68% of HDB resale units prioritizing bespoke laundry designs (Singapore Housing & Development Board, 2024), customized laundry room storage has emerged as a cornerstone of modern interiors. At MRETTY, we engineer high-performance storage systems tailored to Singapore’s humidity, tropical climate, and space constraints. Leveraging ENF-certified oriented strand board (OSB), aerospace-grade innovations, and FSC-certified practices, we redefine luxury craftsmanship in high-humidity ecosystems.
5 Steps to Designing Bespoke Laundry Storage
