My ideal apartment should consist of lots of natural elements. There should be a variety of plants and greenery, wood, elements of the beach, sand, nature, mountains, forests, and etc. The following are inspirations I've pinned on pinterest!

Christmas is almost here and I wish Santa would bring me these <3

In my recent years of travel, I've been using airbnb pretty frequently to settle accommodation. Not only are some of the listings cheaper than local hotels, it also offers me insights to how the locals live, how the neighbourhood is like and it's just adds to the fun and advanture of travelling.

While browsing through, I've came across some pretty amazing living spaces and the following are some of my favourites

Singapore - This apartment is located in Tiong Bahru, one of the oldest neighbourhood in Singapore. It's surrounded by traditional coffee shops and newly sprouted cafes. The atmosphere in this neighbourhood is peaceful, serene and definitely perfect for a getaway or staycation!  

Texas - Staying in a caravan is in my bucket list and if I get to choose, I would go with this! The hammock and outdoor bath is great for watching stars at night, or for watching the sunrise. I can picture just snuggling with my closed ones on a warm night, talking about anything and nothing till we drift off. 

Iceland - Iceland has always been a dream destination and this airbnb getaway just bumped it higher up my list of countries to visit. The architecture itself looks fantastic and the vast field and skies feels instantly calming. The lake in the distance looks great for a little row on those cooling afternoons as well.

Norway - I've been looking forward to hit Norway as well, and to hike up North to view the northern lights. I love how this cabin is located in the middle of the forest, great for camping outdoors, or for evening walks. And in winter, you can ski up to your cabin.

I've loved interior designing since young and it has always been a wish for me to convert an industrial warehouse into an apartment, filled with bright light from the big glass window that looked over the city.

But, this dream will be quite hard to fulfil in Singapore, given the restrictions and high land prices. Thou shalt fear not. For there's always ways to bring that sense of industrial, factory warehouse atmosphere into the living space.

-

Such a unique and way to separate the toilet area, the frames adds a level of chic to the interior atmosphere too 

-

Mirrors like these can be easily collected from fleas, and doesn't need much maintenance, the older it looks, the more industrial it feels! 

-

I love how the ladder can be so easily converted into a frame, and how the hanging bulb has a dual role of providing light and serving as decor

-

Upcycle those paint chips! And these are so reusable, just like a whiteboard. Looks like a piece of art too

-

Omg, perfect toilet paper hangers. Great way to use those old skates too

-

Just like (1), the frames instantly separates the room, yet allowing light to fall in, expanding the space of the room

-

Whoever thought of this is so so smart, it's such a great way to deal with those pesky corners

-

Upcycle those pallets! Serves as the perfect couch surfer spot too

- 

I love that metallic pot that complements the black and white theme of the hallway so well
