6 HDBs and Condos with High Budget Renovations over $200,000

Big dreams are made of this.

With home renovations averaging between $30,000 to $80,000, it’s probably one of the most expensive things you’d spend on. But when it comes to HDB flats and condominiums, rarely do you ever hear of renovations going beyond $150,000.

But that didn’t stop these homeowners from forking out over $200,000 on their apartment renovations. Keep scrolling to see how these extravagant renovations turned out!

With its matte grey floors, black accents, and white walls, this cool dark-themed home exudes elegance at every turn. While this colour palette runs the risk of looking overly clinical, the pops of brown, yellow, and red prevent that by injecting some warmth into the home.

The various textures and finishes also help to add dynamism to what is otherwise a largely monochrome home, with fluted panels, geometric tiles, and carpeted floors that add some visual appeal.

If you, for some reason, don’t believe that colours can evoke different vibes, wait till you see this home. While the darker colour palette (and the marble floors) in the communal areas convey a sense of luxury, the bedrooms in turn utilise warmer colours to make the space brighter and more inviting.

One unique thing the homeowner did with this home was to have an open master bathroom, separated from the bedroom with just a retractable screen. Staying true to the home’s luxurious theme, the bathroom’s marble walls and porcelain tub looks just like one from a 5-star hotel suite!

To incorporate a little variety into the home, the homeowner also chose to play with different patterns, and you can see that from the herringbone floor, fluted bedroom walls, and built-in storage areas with custom designs.

One look at the amount of carpentry done, and you can immediately tell why this renovation project cost $280,000. Fluted walls outline the entrance and corridor, while the master bedroom area was completely reconfigured such that the bedroom, ensuite, and walk-in wardrobe are all interconnected.

It’s not often that you’ll find homes with curved layouts, but that’s exactly what makes this particular abode stand out from the rest. With a home shaped just like a clover leaf, this homeowner chose to accentuate this unique feature with seamless wooden built-ins that run throughout almost the entire house.

The one standout room in this home, though, has got to be the master bathroom. Positioned at the tip of the ‘leaf’, its rounded edges and massive windows give the room a spacious look - one that the homeowner emphasises with light-hued wood and stone designs.

The dining area, in particular, has a black kitchen counter with fluted panels, gold accents, and plush bar stools. Bathed in the warm light emanating from the chandelier, this space looks just like a bar counter from a fancy 5-star Michelin restaurant!
