3-Room BTO Flat Renovations in Singapore: From $28K to $150K

November 20, 2024

Here’s what your 3-room BTO flat could look like based on your renovation budget.

Although you can expect 3-room BTO flat renovations in 2024 to cost around $34,200 to $52,100, it’s possible to shrink (or stretch) your renovation budget to find a balance between your financial goals and aesthetic ones.

In any case, to give you a better idea of what you could achieve based on your home makeover budget, here’s a closer look at ten 3-room BTO flats across Singapore with renovation costs ranging from $28,000 all the way to $150,000!

This monochromatic 3-room BTO flat along Fernvale Road cost just $28,000 to renovate, showing that it’s possible to achieve a suitably comfortable space without breaking the bank. Renovation costs were kept down by retaining its original layout (i.e. no hacking/structural works involved) and minimising built-ins.

To keep costs low, the homeowner likely looked for alternatives to popular features – like limewash-look laminates and wallpaper that recreate the same effect for less.

Here, carpentry works are kept to a minimum, while still providing clever storage solutions. Most notably, the floor-to-ceiling wardrobe in the master bedroom doubles up as a room divider, creating a walk-in wardrobe without hacking a room.

While built-ins help to make full use of the space while providing ample storage, having too much runs the risk of cramping your already tiny space.

Hence, proper space planning and creativity is required to strike a balance between the two. One idea you can consider is to have an extended TV console that can double as the seating for your dining table, as shown in this home!

Minimalist homes are generally simple yet elegant, so it makes sense that adopting this look could allow you to achieve a stylish, but inexpensive interior.

This BTO flat at Eunos Court, which was renovated at a cost of $50,000, brings together various wood accents and soothing off-white walls to create a tranquil abode. Like the previous home, built-ins are kept to a minimum, with the most extensive remodelling occurring in the kitchen.

Custom carpentry coupled with decorative details tends to be one of the costlier items in renovations and this shows in the comparatively higher price tag of $62,000 for this 3-room BTO flat’s makeover.

Here you’ll find numerous built-in storage areas and platforms – particularly in the foyer, kitchen, and bedroom – that no doubt add to its accessibility and storage functionality.


6. 3-Room BTO Flat at Kallang (Renovation Cost: $68,000)

Costing $68,000 to renovate, the price tag attached to this Kallang BTO flat’s makeover is certainly above the average price of a typical 3-room BTO flat renovation – but it also has the looks to match its more premium price tag.

“Playful” is perhaps the best word that best sums up this whimsical, colourful home, which also features a dizzying array of tiles like subway, ice cream, and mosaic tiles.

Also worth noting are the paneling details on the custom built-ins, such as the slim shaker-style kitchen cabinets and bedroom wardrobe with beadboard exterior, which will undoubtedly add to the home’s overall renovation costs.

A 3-room BTO flat doesn’t give you much room to have a sizable living room and dining area – but these homeowners decided to combine the two, creating a unique space-saving feature that is as cool as it is practical.

Additionally, they’ve also chosen to overlay the tiles used in the bathroom and opted for slim-shaker style cabinets throughout the home, all of which add to the cosy farmhouse feel.


8. 3-Room BTO Flat at Circuit Road (Renovation Cost: $150,000)

We know it’s a huge jump in price from the previous home, it goes to show just how much a huge budget can get you.

With its sophisticated spaces – this stately-looking apartment at Circuit Road is probably the closest that a 3-room BTO flat can get to becoming a posh condominium. Note that the hefty sum of $150,000 is inclusive of the firm’s service to procure appliances and furniture for the home – an exclusive service that other ID firms don’t usually offer.

On the outside, an open-concept kitchen as well as a stylish living room convey a sense of ease and elegance, whereas on the inside, a sumptuous bedroom filled with plush layers makes for the perfect place for rest and repose.
