The entire project only took him two weeks to complete.
After learning that his university would only be reopening in March next year, Halim got to work reimagining his bedroom as an elegant living and workspace.
He revealed that he initially shared the room with his older brother, who has since moved to Sabah.
His first move? Why, browse through Pinterest of course!
Wanting to make his room fit for sleeping, working, and gaming, Halim searched for 'workspace bedroom' as the main source of inspiration behind the makeover.
On his blog, the university student mentioned that he opted for a dark blue and gold colour scheme.
Aside from adding a classy touch to the overall look of the room, Halim shared that the colour choice was also a practical decision.
By using these hues, he was more easily able to cover the dark brown wooden boards. It also made the spaces between each board less obvious.
