Three big surprises

These teeny treasures blew you away, and for good reason! From the outside, the three houses features didn't look like anything special, but behind the facades lay a wealth of secrets. This small abode looks like a typical family home, but stepping outside into the back garden proves that it's lightyears ahead of most suburban houses.

The remaining two houses subscribe to a cool modern aesthetic. On the outside, they are refined, elegant, and aloof. Inside, however, all bets are off. To find out what surprises are contained within these homes, check them out for yourself!

Super-stunning balconies

Summer is finally here, and people across Malaysia are dusting off their balconies and terraces once again. A well-designed balcony is the perfect spot for long, relaxing evenings spent eating and chatting outdoors with family and friends in the warm evening breeze, but when your private outdoor haven has been neglected for months it can be hard to know how to spruce it up again.

We presume that's why these 12 stunning balconies struck such a chord! This medley of casual bohemian outdoors lounges, refined seating areas and decadent dining spots is packed with enough exterior eye candy to keep you inspired all the way through to next summer.

Beautiful bedroom partitions

Small apartments and space-saving are popular topics here on homify MY. As rents rise and roomy apartments become harder to come by, it can feel like our living space is getting smaller by the day. Many people are now living in studio apartments, or are having to use a larger room for both sleep and daily life. This can be hard to do, which is why innovative folks around the world are building bedroom partitions as a way to differentiate these spaces.

Believe it or not, building a bedroom partition is much easier than you might think. These nine stylish ways to create a beautiful partition can be installed easily and on a small budget—and they'll make your home look so up to date, too!
