Why Bedroom Storage Matters in Singapore’s Compact Homes
Singapore’s high-density living demands clever bedroom storage solutions. With limited floor space and rising demand for multifunctional furniture, homeowners seek designs that blend practicality with aesthetics. MRETTY, a leader in high-end custom furniture, redefines storage with sustainable, space-efficient solutions tailored to tropical climates.
The Challenges of Small Bedroom Storage
Singapore’s compact homes face unique storage hurdles:
-
Limited Floor Space: High-rise apartments prioritize vertical utilization.
-
Humidity Control: Tropical weather requires moisture-resistant materials.
-
Aesthetic Harmony: Clutter-free spaces need seamless design integration.
Case Study:
A Marina Bay condo resident struggled with overflowing closets and a cramped wardrobe. MRETTY designed a 25mm-thick ENF OSB wall unit with hidden J-shaped hinges, reclaiming 30 sq ft of floor space while maintaining minimalist elegance.
