Save Money On Your Home Renovation With DIY, Thrifting, Taobao: Bargain Hunters | On The Red Dot

- Creating your dream home can be costly…but it doesn’t have to be. Host Das meets couples who have done more for less, as he picks tips on glamming up his future home. When Izwan and Nadirah were forced to move up the timeline on their home purchase, they were left with just $5,000 to renovate their 5-room flat. Das discovers how they turned their blank canvas into a modern masterpiece - and their limitation into a thriving business - by doing it themselves.
Myra, known to her friends at the “Taobao queen”, saved thousands on furniture by buying direct from manufacturers on China’s largest online marketplace, despite not being able to read a word of Chinese. She teaches Das how to navigate the platform, save costs on shipping and even snag free furniture customisation. You’d never guess that 80% of the furnishing in Renee and Leo’s home is second-hand. Das learns how to haggle for homeware and get furniture for free, and transforms a worn out chair into a new piece for his home.

Crazy respect to these individuals. Especially the lady who took the effort to navigate through the complexities of Taobao even with a language barrier. Even for some mandarin speaking Singaporeans, they would rather just pay the money and not bother to learn
that house looked very well put together, like aesthetically pleasing. she has a good sense for home decoration.
Nazira has an infectious positive attitude to life's humps. He brought life even to his school tuckshop stall. Love the segment on him.
These are the heroes CNA should focus on as most Singaporeans are staying in HDB and people can relate to rather than focusing on the rich and their GCBs.
I agree, it's a good and respectable livelihood
DIY is not difficult. I am a single Malaysian lady and I did the same as my kitchen cabinet for
Love this show CNA! I find it very relatable and inspiring as I'm going through my home reno as well. Huge props to these people!
Such beautiful DIY houses ❤ and according to the IKEA Effect, they will love their home more when they made it themselves.
these homes all look professionally designed and decorated
Thank you very much for sharing this video during this time, CNA🙏🏽🙇🏻♀️❤️❤️❤️
These home owners are very inspiring and motivating to DIY
Really love this video. More of these videos on money savings tips please
This should be the way rather than paying for overpriced renovation to ID companies.
the satisfaction of DYI .... blissssssssssssss
Awesome, affordable design. Paint the hidden door knob green to blend it in more.
An interesting video.. learnt so much from it😊
It's more important than ever to support each other. Buying local helps all of us in Singapore thrive. Let’s do this together! 🌟
Investing in local products means investing in Singapore. Let’s all lend our support and watch our community flourish.
Supporting local is not just good for our economy, it’s good for our spirit. Let’s keep our local industries strong and vibrant
thrifting and diy is still a good way of decorating the home though. also lends it your own personality
How do u ship from taobao with the china warehouse address?
I’m bias. I like the last house cuz of the cats.
It depends on the style and level of hassle you can accept. Most of these are DIY and loose items. So expect nooks and crevices that will required cleaning compare to built-in items. Nevertheless the houses featured here looked fabulous
Leave free for ppl who can’t afford or less privileged , I gave lots of free items in caurosell but I surprised to see the person who comes to collect can easily afford them 😢, I see some come in own car to collect this free items , if you have car and pay huge coe than definitely can afford the free items
Am I the only one who can’t recognise Das cos he shaved off his beard? 😂
This couple look familiar. I think they collected a desk ha ha.
Realstically who'd want to buy a humidified in such humid weather XD
Das don't sound too good. Get well soon!
Bargaining for a buck 50, what a baller
Sometimes u do waste money shipping defective bulky items from taobao.
Wow! S'poreans are spending more because of their increasing wealth. Many thanks to the PAP govt for making them rich by means of high-paying jobs.❤❤
i dont understand how its possible to have a car which is considered a luxury item but not enough for a room rental or house? genuine question... am inspired by their story as well
Different priorities and value concept. I can afford $1 drink but won't buy it because it's not worth the money.
I’m favored financially with Bitcoin ETFs approval, Thank you buddy. $12,000 monthly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Same here, I believe the Bitcoin ETFs approval will be life changing opportunity for us, with my current portfolio made from my investments with my personal financial advisor 1 totally agree with you
YES!!! That’s exactly her name (Audrey Lauren ) so many people have recommended highly about her from Brisbane Australia…🇦🇺
She is my family’ personal Broker and also a personal Broker to many families in the United States, she is a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in the United States.
I fucked Audrey Lauren last night for 1 bitcoin.
Such a genuine personality!!, Sincerely speaking. I will continue to trade and go stick to Audrey lauren daily signals and guides as long as it works well for me.
To all the cheapo like those house owner in this video will luv it 🤣🫢haha
Cheapo? Not everyone has the means to afford expensive items, and not every rich person doesn’t like a good bargain. Learning how to get a good deal or upcycle doesn’t make someone cheapo.
Stay in landed but so cheapo
Did you hurt your wrist? Looks a little limp!
