Donāt know how to approach your 5 Room BTO renovation?Ā
Home renovation can be an exciting project. Whether you're looking to optimise storage or add personal touches, we've compiled a list of HDB renovation ideas and layout tips to help you make the most of your 5 Room BTO.
Creating a more open and airy feel can enhance the flow of your HDB BTO.Ā
For Example: Knocking down walls between the living room and dining area or the kitchen and dining area can achieve this.

However, be mindful that structural changes may require professional help and could increase costs.
We suggest you always check with a qualified contractor to ensure safety and compliance with HDB regulations.
Unsure of how to store all your things?Ā Incorporate built-in cabinetry throughout your 5 Room BTO to maximise storage space.
Custom-built cabinets can be designed to fit your specific needs and can help you keep your home clutter-free.
Pro-Tip: Future-proof your home by planning for more storage than you think you need e.g. having kids, elderly parents moving in etc.

However, it is important to consider the long-term effects of using built-in in your home design.Ā
For Example: It can be expensive and may limit flexibility if you wish to change your layout in the future. We recommend that you weigh the long-term benefits against initial costs before making a decision.
A multifunctional space, such as a home office or study nook, can add versatility to your 5 Room BTO.
By using space-saving furniture, you can create a dedicated workspace without sacrificing living space.

However, we suggest you consider how often you will use this space. If itās infrequent, it may not be worth the investment.Ā
Installing non-conventional fittings may also affect the marketability of your home.
Positioning furniture along the edges of rooms can create a more spacious feel. This layout allows for better flow and movement within the space.

However, be cautious not to overcrowd corners with large pieces, as this can make areas feel cramped.
We also recommend taking into consideration the size of your room.Ā
For Example: If you have a large living room, placing furniture by the walls may create barriers when watching TV or having conversations

As you begin your home renovation, donāt forget the importance of planning and budgeting to ensure a smooth renovation process.
Make smart design choices and your 5 Room BTO will reflect your personal style and lifestyle needs.Ā
