About The Folio Edit
The Folio Edit is a slow journal about living well in a small Singapore home — written by one person, paid for mostly by readers, and free of the loud, list-everything tone of most lifestyle sites.
Home › About
I’m Renee, and I started writing here in 2019 from a rented one-bedroom in Toa Payoh, mostly to make sense of my own home. I’m not an interior designer or an influencer — I’m a writer who got quietly obsessed with the question of how to live well in not very many square metres, in a city that rarely slows down.
Everything here comes from my own flat and my own money. When I recommend something it’s because it has survived years in my home, not because a brand sent it to me. A handful of posts carry affiliate links; if you buy through one, the retailer pays me a little and your price stays exactly the same — and that, plus the occasional reader who takes the mini-course, is what keeps the lights on without a wall of ads.
The Folio Edit is, on purpose, a small thing. Two posts a week, one quiet newsletter, one course. I’d rather write less and mean it than churn out content for an algorithm. If that sounds like your kind of corner of the internet, I’m glad you found it.
How I work — the short version
Bought with my own money
Nothing here is gifted or sponsored. If I recommend it, I paid for it and still use it.
Small over more
I write for real flats — HDB, rentals, shoebox condos — not show homes nobody lives in.
Slow on purpose
Two posts a week, written properly, instead of a daily churn for the algorithm.
Honest about links
Affiliate links are always disclosed and never change your price. They keep this place ad-light.

Two posts a week and one quiet newsletter. If this is your kind of corner of the internet, I’d love to have you.
