From Unfinished Exterior to Stunning Interior: A Bogor Homeowner’s‍ Inspiring Change

A Bogor, West Java homeowner, Yulia Chaerani (known as ‌Hera, 28), has captured attention online with her home,⁢ characterized by a deliberately simple exterior that sharply contrasts with its beautifully decorated interior. A ⁤recent post showcasing the unfinished brick facade of her house went viral⁤ on ‌social media, prompting praise and curiosity.

The ‍initial reaction focused on the contrast. As @zinniriz ⁤commented, “Sis, you’re really cool, the‌ most notable thing is comfort in the house first, I’ll just focus on the back and⁣ sides and terrace, the inside isn’t as aesthetic as you ⁣are😍.”⁤ @rizkaarumf added, “In the name of God, ‍it’s​ going well, it’s already really good for now 😍.”

Hera explained to Wolipop that her focus was intentional. “The post is about home inspiration, and also ​low budget home decoration.⁤ That’s the back door of the house. Prioritizing the⁢ inside of the house over the outside as I realize that the inside of the house is where I spend the most time,” she stated.

Hera’s journey began in January 2023 with the ‌purchase of land. She moved into the newly built house in July 2023, at which point​ the exterior, including the terrace, remained unfinished. Work on the exterior,‍ notably the terrace, continued for another year, and​ parts of the house are still ‍undergoing construction‍ as of the‌ time of⁤ the ⁣interview.She noted⁢ that the side and rear of the house “have not‌ been repaired” yet.

The⁢ 8×8 meter⁢ house wasn’t‌ purchased move-in ⁢ready; it was built from the ground up. The interior design process itself took approximately three years. Hera prioritized affordable decorative elements to create ⁤a significant visual impact. “Most of the time I decorate the interior using wallpaper and low budget materials,” she revealed.

Hera expressed her satisfaction with the final result and was surprised⁢ by the overwhelmingly positive response. “alhamdulillah, I like it and I didn’t expect so many people to be inspired,” she ​said proudly.

Hera hopes her story will inspire others. “The⁢ message is that if you want to have a cozy home,you don’t have to have a lot⁢ of capital. We can use materials that are economically priced but of good quality. Just be diligent in ‍looking for inspiration on social media and pinterest,” she advised.
