With so much time spent at home, many of us are paying more attention to our surroundings – and discovering that we don’t like what we see.

As travel industry professionals, Sharifah Alawiyah and Jeeveraj Naufal have seen a lot of places for work – and that includes different types of accommodation. “We’ve stayed in many hotels, many bedrooms,” shared hubby Jeevaraj. So it wasn’t a far-fetched idea for the couple to take some inspiration from these when they engaged interior firm Fifth Avenue Interior for their 1,000 sq ft four-room HDB BTO flat.
