8 Beautiful BTO Flat Designs You Must See
1. Scandi-Style
image

Keep things simple and clean with a Scandinavian-inspired home. The muted colour scheme in soft, earthy tones is pleasing to the eye, while wood furniture in light shades are a classic staple in many homes as they never go out of style.

1. Scandi-Style
image

Wood laminates are fussfree and not as hard to maintain as real wood. Perfect for families and busy homeowners!

1. Scandi-Style
image

Keeping home accents to a minimum means that there are fewer things to clean too. An all-white bedroom also adds a clean, airy feel that’s perfect for relaxing in.

2. Unique Features
image

The homeowners’ personal touches are evident in this BTO apartment. From the funky chipboard wall to the chalkboard feature piece in the kitchen (see next), a home that lets the homeowners’ personalities shine without compromising on space and comfort is a real gem indeed.

2. Unique Features
image

Let your personality shine through your home decor by daring to be different. Of course, discuss with your spouse before deciding on anything – it’s important that both parties are on the same page.

2. Unique Features
image

A well-placed floor-to-ceiling mirror is great for making smaller flats look more spacious. Also, create built-in storage cleverly disguised as a feature wall to save space!

Location: Strathmore (HDB)
Cost of renovation: $55,000

3. Warm And Comfy
image

Forget the sofa and save space – go Japanese by creating a comfortable space on the floor with the right cushion seats and a low coffee table. Clever built-in cabinets save space too, and here we see the reappearance of that classic white + wood theme.

3. Warm And Comfy
image

A cosy dining area sits next to an airy kitchen, and the lack of doors really opens up the space to make the petite unit look much bigger and more comfortable.

3. Warm And Comfy
image

Who says kitchen islands are only for big houses? With a bit of careful planning, it’s possible to have your own island in a BTO flat that’s perfect for prepping food on, planning your grocery list, or having the kids study at so you can keep a watchful eye on them!

4. Clean And Monochromatic
image

Lovers of white will love this apartment in Compassvale Ancilla. Not only does it look effortlessly modern, the faux brick wall behind the TV console shakes up the monotony of the sleek white walls, adding some texture to keep things interesting. Keep the lights to bare spotlights and you’ll have a home that has no fuss and frills.

4. Clean And Monochromatic
image

An open-concept kitchen enlarges the space and the bar counter is great for homeowners who enjoy entertaining and hosting guests. It’s also for those who don’t cook extensively, as containing cooking fumes is more difficult with this design.

4. Clean And Monochromatic
image

Raw concrete-style walls in the bathroom are super chic, and a simple black bordered partition is simple and elegant.

Location: Sengkang (HDB)
Cost of renovation: $65,000

5. Retro Vibes
image

Wherever you look, there is sure to be something that will catch your eye in this fun apartment. The little touches of vintage elements and bright bursts of colours work exceedingly well together to create a retro-modern home that experiments with different textures and designs.

5. Retro Vibes
image

For instance, a unique headboard that extends to the ceiling brings so much visual interest to the bedroom, so you can focus on keeping the floors more bare. Vintage-style pendant lamps on either side of the bed also lend flair to the space.

5. Retro Vibes
image

Of course, an easy way to make a kitchen look more vintage is to play with the backsplash – a patterned one like this usually does the trick.

6. Resort Feel
image

Brick walls are a popular feature in many Scandinavian homes, as they immediately add some texture and rustic charm to a home.

6. Resort Feel
image

Light wood furnishings also enhance the rustic feel, and are extremely versatile to work with. This apartment exudes a comfortable, modern lodge resort vibe that’s easy to emulate.

Play with different levels of lighting too, from recessed lights at the entrance to a trendy family of pendant lamps over the dining table (see more ideas here).

Location: Punggol (HDB)

7. Shades Of Grey
image

What’s not to like about minimalism? This apartment in Woodlands has a simple colour palette of mainly grey, black and white, and shows us how you can’t go wrong with these three colours.

7. Shades Of Grey
image

The grey-washed feature walls remind us of clouds gathering before rainfall, and bring some life to an austere environment.

7. Shades Of Grey

Liven up the bathroom with the right kind of lighting, such as this unique feature light emanating from behind the mirror. So modern!

Location: Woodlands (HDB)
Cost of renovation: $35,000

8. Rustic & Homely
image

With an eye-grabbing bookshelf like that, you can be sure that this apartment’s design is anything but ordinary. Wooden accents are utilised in unique and attention-grabbing ways around the house, and will no doubt surprise guests with its ingenuity.

8. Rustic & Homely
image

The use of a funky rug in the dining area also cleverly sets it apart from the other areas of the house.
