Stylish HDB Flats And Condos With Renovations Below $30,000

March 23, 2018

You may think they achieving your dream home means having to spend excessively, but that’s not always the case. You can have the home you’ve always wanted and live within your means. Here are some tips:

  1. Do your research. Know exactly what kind of theme you want for your home – Simple and minimalist? Scandinavian? French-style? Industrial. Then, convey your ideas and thoughts with your interior designer who will help you realise them.
  2. Set a budget. Discuss with your spouse what the bulk of the renovation should go towards – Cabinetry? Furniture? Flooring?
  3. Manage your expectations. Know that you may not be able to achieve everything you set out to do, but that’s okay. Find ways to compromise. 

Now take a peek at these four charming Singapore homes with renos that cost way below $30k:

Stylish HDB Flats And Condos With Renovations Below $30,000
Parisian-inspired two-bedroom condominium (1 of 4)

Renovation costs: $25,000

This airy, French style home exudes elegance and sophistication without going overboard. Little elements like the chandelier and  wainscoted wall panels (see next photo) build character. A pared down palette of white and wood gives off a clean aesthetic, and a large wall mirror serves to visually enlarge the home.

Wainscoted walls make a home look glamorous and stately, and they don’t need to cost an arm and leg. The wood used to create the moulding varies, so ask your interior designer for one that fits your budget.

For the bedroom, this homeowner opted for a striped wall covering in shades of soothing grey, while silky sheets, pillow cases and a headboard in regal purple hues add luxe.

The Parisian-theme continues in the bathroom, with bold choices of wall colour and lighting. The sink is also a unique fixture that lends elegance.

Three-bedroom condominium in Sengkang (1 of 4)

Renovation costs: $25,000

This gorgeous living room’s eye-catching feature wall is made up of many storage cabinets and niches in a unique “folding door” design. These serve to add a unique element to the TV wall while optimising space in the home.

Here’s how it looks from another angle. The rest of the living room is kept simple and minimal, with a matching geometric-themed sofa.

For the dining area, the homeowner chose to decorate with a gallery of pictures (probably from their own collection). It’s an easy way to save money on wall art!

In the master bedroom, a unique headboard with back lighting serves to bring visual interest and add mood lighting.

Renovations for this home focused mainly on cabinetry design for that charming rustic look, from the TV wall to kitchen and shoe cabinets.

Don’t you love this combination of blue and white, with criss-crossed backsplashes and wainscoted cabinets?

Naturally, the theme continues into the bedroom that comes with its own balcony. A feature wall adds personality and colour, while being cost-effective.

Monochromatic flat (1 of 4)

Renovation costs: $27,000

This chic, modern home lets in lots of light, thanks to blinds instead of curtains. While blinds are often more expensive than fabric curtains, the homeowner opted to keep the rest of the renovation to a minimum, opting for more loose furniture pieces in the living room.

Here’s a look at the dining area, with a chest of drawers that serves as a sideboard to display and store things.

Enclosed shelves allow the homeowners to hide away their clutter such as books, while a single open shelf lets them display prized possessions or artistic collections.

This home belongs to a creative couple, so this work- or art-room features lots of open shelves, an easel and a large table to encourage inspiration.
