We all know that HDB apartments are the most sought-after residential units in the Singapore market. Coming in a wide array of sizes, layouts of the room, and decor, there is an HDB apartment for every taste and every wallet. On the market, we can observe that 3-room and 4-room apartments are the most common and the most plentiful, which is no wonder; their value per square meter is the most affordable for most families as well as individual homeowners.
If you have an HDB flat in Singapore, it is only natural that you would want to make it as authentic as it can be to your taste and character overall.

Interior Design Style
One of the major decisions that you will encounter is about the interior style that you will start your renovation with. Regardless of whether your HDB apartment is a 3-room, 4-room, or 5-room apartment, any style of interior can be applied with clever decision-making and creative solutions.
Today the most popular interior design styles in Singapore HDB flats are minimalist, modern, contemporary, and Scandinavian contemporary style. However, you do not have to adhere to just one style because your authentic signature on the interior comes from blending these different aesthetics into one coherent interior that will not feel cluttered or tacky but cosy and spacious.

When you have chosen the style that you will go with, the next thing you should do is apply it in every room of your home. Since every room doesn’t have the same function, the application will be majorly different considering the functional use of the room and atmosphere.
Built-in Furniture and Storage
This aspect has become very popular in recent years, regardless of whether you have a smaller or bigger apartment. The key concept here is to maximize space efficiency in your HDB apartment. Since closets ask for a lot of space in the room, you can lose significant floor space because of this necessary furniture, so built-in furniture is becoming more common.
Things that we use only once every few months do not have to be on display constantly, so why not hide them in the furniture through hidden compartments or hidden closets that are built seamlessly into the wall?
Surface Finishes
We look at finishes on the major surfaces, such as walls and floors as just an aesthetic aspect of interior design. But aside from the looks these surfaces can also be judged by their functionality, especially when considering the durability and ease of cleaning.
If you have little ones in your home or family pets, these smooth finishes become very important. Choosing the right material will not just help to bring out the aesthetics of the house to a whole another level, but will also make it easy to clean the mess that can happen with kids and pets exploring space.
Lighting
Lighting is another aspect that you must take into serious consideration because the furniture that you put in, the flooring, and the wall details cannot come to an actual light (pun intended) if the lighting is wrong.
For instance, cold lighting in the living room causes alertness which does not serve the function of the living room which needs to be a relaxing space for tenants as well as guests. On the other hand, cold lighting works in the bathroom because all of the details can be seen on the body, which is essential for shaving and grooming in general.
