My childhood was spent in a small village named Maluk, located in West Sumbawa. My house was approximately 500 meters from the beach, which made me dream about having a bedroom with a big window facing the beach so I can enjoy the sightly view from my room.

Sadly, as I grew up, my family decided to leave that beautiful village and move to a small city in East Java. It is a lovely city too, the rice fields mostly dominate the scenery, and more importantly, we have super friendly neighbours! However, it couldn’t bury my childhood dream. I was so happy when my bedroom got renovated. Actually, we did not change the room dramatically because we wanted to keep the renovation costs low. I am so sorry I couldn’t show you the room before it was renovated because the labourers had already dismantled the wall. Here I show you the 3d how my room was!

Too much pink, isn't it? A little confession, when I was young, I was so obsessed with anything pink, and I wanted all my belongings and collections to be pink, including my room. Anyway, back to the room tour! It was just a tiny 3x3 sqm room, in addition, there was a 2x3 sqm balcony facing the street with a double-leaf door flanked by the windows.

A minimalist concept inspires the room with the dominance of pastel colours like apartment room designs in Korea. If you watch Korean dramas a lot, you'll know what I mean.

The first idea, I wanted to dismantle the balcony and connect it with the room to make the room bigger. Then, I wanted to install a big L accented window with an opened a small window on the right side which could maximise natural lighting and ventilating inside the room.

Furthermore, since I wanted to make it simple and minimalist for the interior style, it would look better if I chose a neutral colour to avoid crowds. I also chose the neutral colour because I will install a lot of furniture. I don't want to make the room looks so dense. Therefore, I chose white for the wall accentuated with wood floor to make it looks warm and cosy.

Since all of the furniture is finished in a white and wood accent, I want to put something that could accentuate the room, which turns on to be a small ceramic coffee table. It would be boring and monotone if I chose another white coffee table, isn’t it?

That's the concept for my dream bedroom! By the way, many of them have not manifested yet in the room because it costs a fortune! The only built-in furniture I could afford right now was just a cabinet under the window. I hope someday, I could make my dream bedroom comes true!

Here's I show you how my room goes so far!
