1. 3-Room BTO Flat along Fernvale Road (Renovation Cost: $28,000)

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.

Achieving a picture-perfect home is still doable on a budget! Proof: this 3-room BTO flat in Kallang, which was renovated using a modest budget of $33,000.

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.

3. 3-Room BTO Flat in Woodleigh Link (Renovation cost: $44,000)

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!

5. 3-Room BTO Flat at Clementi NorthArc (Renovation Cost: $62,000)

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.

7. 3-Room BTO Flat at Woodleigh Link (Renovation cost: $72,000)

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.
