Double Storey Terrace House Interior in Tingkat Tembaga, Penang
A calm residential interior where classic white panel details, carefully fitted cabinetry and a multi-purpose bedroom divider create order without losing warmth.

The project album concentrates on two important household zones. In the kitchen, cabinetry is organised around washing, cooking, storage and daylight. In the bedroom, a custom partition combines display shelves, drawers, a television position and visual separation within one piece.
White is used as a unifying finish, but the rooms are not colourless. Dark appliances and timber flooring provide weight, warm internal lighting highlights display areas, and small metal details give the cabinetry a more finished appearance.
One custom partition creates separation, storage and display while allowing light to move through the room.
Four details give the rooms their identity
Raised profiles
Panelled cabinet doors and wall mouldings introduce depth through shadow instead of strong colour.
Warm metal
Traditional handles and dark bronze lighting details keep the white interior from feeling clinical.
Reflective layers
Large mirrors, glass shelves and ribbed glazing make built-in pieces feel lighter and more dimensional.
Timber grounding
Wood-toned floors and display interiors bring warmth beneath the pale cabinetry and walls.
Washing and preparation are placed where daylight is strongest
The main kitchen run sits beside a generous window. The sink and preparation surface benefit from daylight, while upper and lower cabinets use the remaining wall height for frequently needed storage.
Raised-panel doors establish the classic style without adding another dominant material. Dark appliances become clear functional anchors against the pale joinery, and the timber-look floor prevents the long white elevation from feeling too cold.
- Upper cabinets extend storage while preserving the worktop below.
- The sink position benefits from direct window light and ventilation.
- Integrated equipment sits within the same cabinet rhythm.
- Traditional handles remain easy to grip and visually reinforce the style.
A self-contained work station built around a full-size cooker
The cooking side of the kitchen is treated as its own compact composition. Tall storage and an appliance tower sit to one side, the cooker occupies the centre, and shorter cabinets complete the working surface on the other.
A marble-look backsplash provides a brighter, easier-to-clean field behind the hob. Under-cabinet lighting targets the cooking area and adds a warm band beneath the upper doors.
This wall works because the cabinetry follows the actual equipment. Cooker width, hood clearance, heat exposure, electrical supply and adjacent drawer access all influence the final proportions.
Wall mouldings add depth to an otherwise quiet room
Behind the bed, simple rectangular mouldings turn the wall into a subtle architectural backdrop. The treatment is tonal, so the shadows create detail without competing with bedding, furniture or wallpaper elsewhere in the room.
Globe sconces provide focused bedside light and introduce small dark and brass-toned accents. Their placement is coordinated with the bed width, panel layout and bedside surfaces, allowing the composition to remain balanced.
A generous vanity built around how items are stored and used
The full dressing unit places a long work surface beneath a large central mirror. Tall storage towers at both ends keep everyday products and taller items within reach, while smaller drawers organise accessories close to the seated position.
Open shelves prevent the two towers from feeling completely solid. Adjustable task lamps add focused light without occupying the counter, and the continuous mirror visually doubles the depth of the composition.
The detailing is consistent with the kitchen: raised profiles, pale surfaces and warm metal handles. Repetition across rooms gives the home a recognisable identity even though the functions are different.
A divider that performs differently on each side
The bedroom's most distinctive element is a full-height partition positioned away from the wall. It separates the sleeping area from the adjoining dressing or sitting zone without building a completely opaque enclosure.
One edge becomes a warm illuminated display tower. A central ribbed-glass panel filters views and light. The lower section supplies drawers and a television-facing surface, allowing the divider to serve both sides of the room.
- Creates privacy while retaining a sense of connection.
- Uses vertical space for display and closed storage.
- Provides a clear position for media equipment.
- Avoids placing several unrelated pieces of loose furniture in the room.
Six details from the Tingkat Tembaga interior
Raised drawer fronts and warm metal handles make the cabinet's classic detailing tangible.
The globe sconce breaks the pale wall with a compact dark and brass-toned detail.
The working surface remains open while smaller items are contained directly below.
Ribbed glazing obscures direct views while allowing brightness through the upper section.
Cabinet widths and clearances are organised around the cooker and extraction zone.
The divider organises the bedroom without making either side feel like a closed box.
The project depends on relationships, not isolated cabinets
| Element | What it contributes | What must be coordinated |
|---|---|---|
| Classic kitchen cabinetry | Storage and a consistent traditional character. | Windows, appliances, cooker clearance, plumbing and worktop joints. |
| Bedroom wall mouldings | Architectural depth without a strong colour change. | Bed width, panel proportions, outlets and sconce positions. |
| Full dressing unit | Organised storage, a long counter and reflected light. | Seated clearance, drawer movement, mirror height and task lighting. |
| Multi-purpose divider | Zoning, display, drawers, media and filtered privacy. | Circulation on both sides, wiring, glass specification and fixing stability. |
