Starting a home renovation project for your HDB Maisonette?
With its unique two-level layouts, the possibilities are endless. However, many HDB Maisonette homeowners overlook such possibilities resulting in untapped potential and poorly utilised spaces.
Here are 5 clever HDB renovation ideas and tips to help you make the most of your HDB Flat.

4. Invest in Extendable Furniture
While HDB flats often offer ample space, incorporating extendable furniture provides you with added flexibility for hosting.
