HDB BTO Standard Flat

Renovation Ideas to Spruce up HDB BTO Standard Flats

There are roughly more than 1 million HDB flats across three estates and 24 towns in Singapore. However, as the demand for housing increases, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) makes it a point to build more BTO flats.

Features of an HDB BTO Standard Flat

In addition to the convenience it offers, an HDB BTO is also an affordable and versatile housing option. This means that it comes in different flat types to cater to various living requirements and budgets. Here are some of the defining features of each flat type:

• 2-room HDB
  A 2-room flat usually features a single bedroom with a bathroom attachment and a simple kitchen. It measures between 36 square metres and 45 square metres and contains a storeroom and apartment shelter. Generally, a 2-room HDB is perfect for those who live solo or are within a tight budget.
• 3-room HDB
  On the other hand, a 3-room flat offers a compact living space for people to live simply, yet comfortably.  It has approximately 60 to 65 square metres, two bedrooms, a kitchen, dining area, and living room. Because of its essential features, a 3-room BTO is ideal for young couples and small families in Singapore. 
• 4-room HDB
  For couples who are expecting to grow their family, a 4-room flat is a perfect choice. It covers around 90 square metres of space with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living and dining area, and a common bathroom.
• 5-room HDB
  As it is common for Singaporeans to live with their extended family, living in a 5-room flat can help them live comfortably. It has the same features as the 4-room flat but is more spacious in comparison. In total, a 5-room flat measures about 110 square metres, which gives homeowners more space to incorporate their hobbies and other design requirements into their home interior.

Interior Design Ideas for your HDB BTO Flats

Whether you live in a 2-room or 5-room BTO, here are effective renovation design styles you can try to refresh your home.

• Scandinavian interior design
  Achieve a clean and simple BTO renovation with the Scandinavian style. It uses a muted colour scheme with earthy tones that are timeless and pleasing to the eye. Moreover, light wood furniture and minimal design elements play a key feature in this style to help keep your home looking effortlessly tidy. Because of this, it has become the most popular BTO interior design in Singapore.
• Clean Lines
  Another trendy idea is to infuse clean lines into the design renovation plans. Essentially, clean lines are a contemporary style that highlights functionality and minimalism by utilizing a neutral colour palette, simple shapes, and warm ceiling lights. Additionally, it focuses on accurate space planning to perfectly plot each appliance and achieve a sleek and sophisticated look.
• Pinterest-worthy design
  However, if you want to transform your home into a cosy yet aesthetic sanctuary, the Pinterest-worthy design might be the one for you. It beautifully combines multiple textures like terrazzo, wood, ceramic, wicker, and exposed concrete to create a more visually dynamic and photogenic space. And the best part is, it prioritizes flexibility and versatility in styling, making this easy to recreate at home.
