Renovating your flat for under $30,000
It’s a common belief that if you want your home to look impressive, you must spend big bucks on renovation. Indeed, while a sizeable budget gives you more options, creativity, good taste and an eye for good value can carry you far, even with limited finances. These four real-life HDB flats show you how.
Contrasting yet complementary textures and colours form the main design element in this Yishun home, with its wooden floors and pops of blue. There is even a grey brick wall stretching from the dining to living room area, and a mural to make the space more visually compelling. Unique touches, such as a patchwork-like wooden bench in the dining area and unconventional ceiling lights, complete the look. Interior designer: 9 Creation |  |
A spacious industrial-style interior such as the one in this Boon Lay HDB flat allows its owners more creative room when it comes to décor. Here, quirky elements, such as an old-fashioned tripod lamp and vintage radio in the living room and caged ceiling lights in the kitchen, dress up the otherwise spartan aesthetic of the home.

Another take on the industrial theme, the owners of this Punggol Field flat have employed a minimalist approach to its décor. The white floors and grey walls are furnished with clean wooden surfaces, maintaining the simplicity of the design while not making the ambience too cold or uninviting. Interior designer: Spire ID |
The interior of this Yishun flat marries the classic with the modern effortlessly. The living room features wooden floors and furniture, decorated with interesting knick-knacks; here is even an artificial lawn by the window. The kitchen, on the other hand, boasts French influences that gives one the impression of being in a totally different place. Interior designer: Reno Cube |
