Your HDB Can Look Better Than A Private Home - Here’s Proof
Think HDB apartments are boring, dull and cookie-cutter? Well, all you need is a little creativity and a personal touch to break the mould and create a stunning home with heaps of character. Take cue from these 10 homes that don’t look and feel like a typical HDB one bit.
GOING NATURAL
1. Clean, minimalist and cosy – this HDB is the ideal place to kick back your legs after a long, hard day - we’re in love with the woody, Japanese-inspired theme.
Interior designer: Prozfile Design
Location: Marine Terrace
Cost of renovation: $77,000
SLEEK MONOCHROME
2. Nothing like a black-meets-white interior for a stylish, uptown chic vibe. Contrast that with slightly vintage furniture for extra charm.
Interior designer: The Scientist
Location: Rivervale Crescent
Cost of renovation: $60,500
BOUTIQUE HOTEL-ESQUE
3. Any one else getting that Ernest-Hemingway hideout feel? Old-school furnishings are balanced with a play on prints and patterns against solids for a modern update.
Interior designer: Third Avenue Studio
Location: Ubi Avenue
Cost of renovation: $62,000
VINTAGE COOL
4. With a treasure trove of vintage keepsake, and cool features like exposed pipes and louvres, this HDB unit gets major style points.

RYOKAN AT HOME
8. Love the Japanese approach to living? Try wood for that Zen approach and tatami rooms for a calm living environment to recharge everyday.
