My 20-Tsubo Modern Home Makeover: From Purchase to 'Wow' Reveal, No Secrets Here!

The Big Leap: Buying a Home Buying a house is like playing adult-level monopoly, and it's a huge milestone in life. It's not just about finding a place to crash – it's a major financial decision. Una345 and her husband, a cute couple since their university days, decided to take the plunge. After facing skyrocketing prices post-pandemic, they clenched their teeth and bought a place in a promising neighborhood. They figured, even if the house isn't perfect, at least they're near all the fun stuff (and not too far from the city)!


Pre-Purchase Planning Figuring out what you want in a house is like going on a treasure hunt without a map. It's thrilling but a bit scary. They had to consider room layouts, bathrooms, and (very important in Taiwan) parking spaces. After a lot of searching, visiting, and spreadsheet comparisons (thank goodness for Excel!), they finally found their gem.


Decor Time! When it came to decorating, Una345 took the reins, diving into portfolios, and choosing her top design firms. She was aiming for a Nordic-Japanese vibe, while her hubby was all about marble and luxury. Talk about a style clash! But in the end, they found a designer who could marry their tastes into a harmonious living space.


Four Key Points in Choosing Decor

  1. Portfolio Peek: Scrolling through past works is like a sneak peek into a designer's brain.

  2. Budget Talks: Negotiating with different firms is like a dance – you've got to find the right partner.

  3. Timeline Tête-à-Tête: Making sure the work gets done on time is like planning a space mission.

  4. Detailed Discussions: Ensuring the final result matches your vision is like directing your own movie.

Decor Plan Sharing Combining both their styles, they decided to knock down a wall to open up space (because who doesn't love a little extra elbow room?). The kitchen got a makeover to suit their culinary adventures, and they transformed a would-be guest room into a practical walk-in closet.

















Post-Makeover Bliss

  1. Sunny and Bright: The living room is now a sunbath, making it both visually pleasing and energy-efficient.

  2. Smooth Flow: The new layout allows for easy movement, creating a seamless and open feel.

  3. Comfort and Ease: Every piece of furniture and layout choice adds a touch of comfort and convenience.














Most importantly, the design company's after-service really wowed Una345. Seasonal check-in calls? That's like having a guardian angel for your home!


Stepping into her newly decked-out home fills Una345 with joy and satisfaction. It's not just a place to live; it's a sanctuary for the soul, a space where every day begins and ends with a warm, eager anticipation of coming home. 🏡❤️
