The transformed living room now feels calm, modern, and thoughtfully designed for everyday Singapore living. A sleek TV feature wall anchors the space, paired with low-profile built-in storage to keep the area clutter-free. Warm cove lighting adds depth and softness, making the home feel cosy after long workdays while still looking guest-ready.
Design tip:
👉 Built-in carpentry works best when it blends into the wall visually. Keep colours neutral and add warm lighting to avoid a “boxy” feel—especially important in compact 3-room HDBs.
Closed cabinets provide generous storage, while the lighted display niches add personality without overwhelming the space.

The original living space felt dark and visually heavy, with finishes and limited storage planning. Lighting was uneven, and the layout didn't fully maximise the potential of a 3 room resale flat.
Design Tip:
When renovating a resale HDB, focus first on lighting and layout. Improving these two areas alone can dramatically change how spacious and welcoming the home feels.
The round dining table softens the layout, while the sculptural chairs add comfort without overwhelming the space. The curved archway gently guides movement towards the bedrooms.
Design tip: Rounded furniture and arches help small resale HDB feels more fluid and less boxy.
The original bathroom was purely functional, with exposed piping, dated fittings, and limited lighting. While usable, it lacked storage, warmth, and comfort.
The transformed bathroom now feels calm, modern, and hotel -inspired. A round backlit mirror instantly elevates the space, while the floating vanity keeps the floor visually open.
The master bedroom is designed as a restful retreat. A neutral palette, layered curtains, and warm wood flooring create a cosy yet uncluttered atmosphere. The upholstered bed adds comfort without overpowering the room, while built-in storage keeps everything neatly tucked away.
The cooking and washing zones are neatly planned in a linear layout, ensuring smooth workflow in a compact resale kitchen. Matching cabinet finishes across upper and lower units create visual continuity, while neutral backsplash tiles keep the space timeless.
This angle highlights how small details elevate the kitchen—clean cabinet proportions, subtle recess lines, and soft lighting placement. The wall light adds warmth and personality without taking up valuable counter space.
Design tip:
In small HDB kitchens, keep colours consistent across cabinets and walls to visually widen the space. A simple layout often works better than over-complicated storage systems.
