Modern Bathroom Storage Solutions: Redefining Elegance in Singapore’s Compact Homes
Singapore’s luxury residential boom demands storage solutions that harmonize sophistication with functionality. With 70% of HDB resale units prioritizing bespoke bathroom designs (Singapore Housing & Development Board, 2024), modern bathroom storage solutions have 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.
