A look at new condominium reno ideas for every size and budget.
Unlike new HDB flats that are only fitted with the basic flooring, internal doors, and sanitary fittings (that is, if you opt in to the Optional Component Scheme or OCS in short), new condominiums are typically pre-fitted with premium kitchen appliances and carpentry by the developers.
One of the advantages of buying a new condominium unit is that much of the basic work has already been done for you. If you’re comfortable with the developer’s standard fittings and finishes, you can keep renovation costs minimal. But for homeowners who want a specific theme or tailored functionality, a more extensive renovation may still be on the cards.
Based on our data, the average renovation cost of new condominiums is expected to range between $40,400 and $51,500.
Of course, the costs can increase or decrease significantly depending on the range of works and quality of materials that you opt for.
To help you gauge what your own renovation might cost, we’ve compiled a master list of new condo renovations, sorted by bedroom type.
Studio Apartment Renovations
1. Studio Apartment at NoMa | Renovation cost: $36,000
View this project by PULP Design Studio
While studio apartments are typically rented out as investment property in Singapore, we’ve seen extensive renovation works done to spruce them up for own-stay as well. This studio apartment at NoMa proves that even with limited square footage, it’s possible to carve out a home that feels stylish and practical.
With space-saving hacks like a pull-out table and built-ins that maximise storage while catering to the homeowner’s lifestyle and preferences, this renovation is a reminder that working with interior designers who specialise in condo renovations can be key to making compact living comfortable.
Studio at Bedok North | Renovation cost: $180,000
View this project by Metamorph Design
Coming in at a whopping $180,000, this renovation for a 485 sqft studio in Bedok North is the epitome of extravagance. Never mind the fact that this is typically the budget for bigger unit types like HDB maisonettes and condo lofts — the sheer attention to detail here more than justifies the price tag.
From the shoji-inspired panels that lend the home a serene, Japanese flair to the exquisitely detailed privacy partition that doubles as a statement piece, every corner of the space reflects careful craftsmanship.
Layered with high-quality materials that add depth and texture, this renovation goes beyond functionality to deliver a home that feels indulgent, refined, and built to last.
1-Bedroom Condo Renovations
1-Bedroom Condo at Verdale | Renovation cost: $28,000
View this project by Happe Design Atelier
This renovation at Verdale made the most of the original fittings provided by the developers, which meant fewer renovation works were needed and the budget could be kept lean. Weaving in a soft, soothing palette that ties every corner together, the result is a home that feels calm, cohesive, and intentional.
To enhance the sense of openness, concealed flush doors blend seamlessly into the walls, while generous natural lighting was left unobstructed to brighten the interiors. Together, these details create a home that feels bigger, lighter, and more serene than you’d expect on a modest $28,000 budget.
1-Bedroom Condo at The Florence Residences | Renovation cost: $40,000
View this project by Starry Homestead
The designers of this one-bedder condo in The Florence Residences didn’t just rely on pre-fitted furnishings by the developers — they elevated them.
The result is an open-concept layout where the different zones flow seamlessly into one another. By day, natural light highlights the clean lines and crisp surfaces; by night, warm ambient lighting casts a softer glow, giving the home a distinctly cosy yet polished vibe.
It shows how a well-balanced mix of built-ins and developer fittings can elevate a new condo without going overboard on the budget.
1-Bedroom Condo at OUE Twin Peaks | Renovation cost: $50,000
View this project by Le Interior Affairs
This 549 sqft home at OUE Twin Peaks balances brightness and warmth with a subtly dramatic twist.
The communal area is decked with a combination of light and dark wood tones, the latter being a signature look of most Le Interior Affairs projects. This combination lends the space a rich, grounding quality, while natural light streaming in through full-height windows keeps the atmosphere open and airy.
In contrast, the private quarters shift to a lighter palette. This transition between the two zones creates a subtle rhythm — bold and inviting in the living area, soft and serene in the bedroom.
Interestingly, most homeowners go the other way around — keeping the living areas bright and airy, while opting for moody tones in the bedroom. But hey, when it comes to home design, whatever floats your boat!
1-Bedroom Condo at 19 Nassim Hill | Renovation cost: $60,000
View this project by Urban Home Design 二本設計家
Even within a compact footprint, your favourite style can shine through. This one-bedder proves exactly that — and with flair. A good portion of this home’s $60,000 renovation budget clearly went into the living area, where marble flooring and custom carpentry set the tone for a refined yet functional space.
The transitional-style cabinetry even conceals the TV when it’s not in use, keeping surfaces clean and the aesthetic uncluttered.
2-Bedroom Condo Renovations
2-Bedroom Condo at Clavon | Renovation cost: $25,000
View this project by Fifth Avenue Interior
Sometimes the heart of a home lies in one standout built-in — and in this 2-bedder, this custom feature truly anchors the space.
A bench lining the communal hallway doubles as storage below, while its top surface flows seamlessly into the cabinetry and feature elements, making it both practical and striking.
Rather than overhauling everything, the homeowners stuck to loose furniture and the developer-provided fittings, letting the custom carpentry be the hero.
The interplay between the new, sculptural storage under the bench and the retained elements gives the home character without breaking the bank.
2-Bedroom Condo at One Pearl Bank | Renovation cost: $42,000
View this project by Forefront Interior
It’s easy to see why this 2-bedroom condo renovation is one of the most-saved projects on Qanvast in 2025. With a renovation budget of $42,000, this home makeover has it all — clean limewash aesthetic, concealed flush doors, and modern elements that just makes the space look… classy.
Instead of opting for a conventional dining setup, a pull-out table was integrated into the pantry/dry kitchen carpentry. It’s a smart move that keeps the floor area uncluttered while still providing a functional dining corner when needed.
And while textured or effect paints can drive up renovation costs when applied over large surfaces, one design hack is using limewash wallpapers and laminates which can deliver the same visual impact at a fraction of the price. It’s little choices like these that make this project both stylish and budget-savvy.
2-Bedroom Condo at Ki Residences | Renovation cost: $50,000
View this project by H Design
This 2-bedder at Ki Residences looks like it came straight out of an interior design magazine. Its aesthetic is anchored by a striking ‘UFO’ light fixture on the wood-look false ceiling, while a see-through partition subtly separates the kitchen from the living area — keeping the space open yet clearly defined.
Much of the renovation budget was channelled into custom built-in carpentry, like the curved TV feature wall and console in the living room, as well as the storage cabinets along the corridor.
These additions don’t just elevate the look, they also maximise function in spaces that would otherwise be underutilised.
2-Bedroom Condo at 76 Shenton Way | Renovation cost: $60,000
View this project by Mr Designer Studio
Although this 2-bedder is slightly larger than others on this list, the homeowners and their designer made sure no vertical space went to waste. In the living and dining area, a pantry counter was slotted neatly beside the TV feature wall, complete with overhead storage cabinets fitted with see-through sliding panels to showcase their liquor collection, and a built-in chiller below to keep drinks cold.
To free up floor space, a pull-out table was integrated into the pantry counter instead of having a conventional dining set.
In the bedroom, a platform bed with storage drawers was designed around the full-height windows to ‘frame’ the view, making the sweeping panorama the centrepiece of the space.
The built-in design not only maximises storage but also keeps the layout streamlined, showing how carpentry can do double duty in smaller-footprint home.
2-Bedroom Condo at Treasures at Tampines | Renovation cost: $70,000
View this project by Ovon Design
If you’re into a modern wabi-sabi look, this 700 sqft home at Treasure at Tampines has it all. Entering the space, you are greeted by curves right from the start — from the round-edged dining bench to the arched display niches with integrated lighting.
Even the shoe cabinet, overhead pendant lamp, and kitchen partition follow the same design language, complete with a round cutout for better ventilation as well as to add visual interest.
Overall, the renovation leans heavily on (curved) carpentry and finishes to set the mood. The muted palette, natural textures, and soft lighting all work together to create a cosy yet refined retreat that’s as functional as it is photogenic.
With a home as photogenic as this, you won’t even need to go to a studio to take photos. How cool is this framing?
3-Bedroom Condo Renovations
3-Bedroom Condo at Ola | Renovation cost: $29,000
View this project by Flo Design
If your goal is to have a simple yet functional home with minimal renovations, take a leaf out of the book of this 3-bedroom condo in Ola. With a renovation budget focused on practical built-ins, the homeowners managed to transform the space without overcomplicating it.
In the living area, a sleek TV feature wall is flanked with cabinetry that doubles as extra storage, blending seamlessly into the rest of the home.
All in all, this home managed to nail the Scandinavian style with a lean budget of $29,000 — proof that smart carpentry and design choices can make a new condo feel both personal and highly liveable.
3-Bedroom Condo at Treasure at Tampines | Renovation cost: $40,000
View this project by Thom Signature Design
Minimalist yet characterful, this 3-bedroom home at Treasure at Tampines embraces a wabi-sabi theme that favours subtle textures and organic shapes over loud, statement pieces.
From the living area to the dining nook, curves soften the edges of built-ins while layered lighting highlights their form, creating a warm and calming flow throughout the space.
Instead of relying on costly materials, much of the budget was channelled into clever carpentry and strategic lighting.
3-Bedroom Condo at Olloi | Renovation cost: $50,000
View this project by Authors • Interior & Styling
When it comes to condo renovations, sometimes it’s the finer details that make all the difference.
In this 3-bedroom home, the TV feature wall takes centre stage — framed by a circular motif against textured finishes, it immediately draws the eye and lends a quiet sense of grandeur. Paired with a blue console base, the look feels one-of-a-kind.
Throughout the home, custom wardrobes and shelving carry the same attention to detail.
Panelled doors with brass accents and display niches that double as decorative showcases make the carpentry not just functional but an aesthetic highlight in itself.
In the study, a curved desk designed to flow seamlessly with the cabinetry softens the room’s lines while maximising usable space.
3-Bedroom Condo at Nyon | Renovation cost: $63,000
View this project by The Local INN.terior 新家室
With a $63,000 budget, this 3-bedroom loft makes the most of every dollar by pairing statement features with thoughtful detailing. The double-volume ceiling exudes an air of grandeur, with the statement chandelier amplifying the sense of scale without overwhelming the room.
Across the unit, every corner has been given its own character through the use of patterned floral wallpapers — a playful contrast to the otherwise muted palette. This layered approach adds depth and variety without compromising cohesion.
A full-length mirror was also positioned at the end of the corridor to create the illusion of space.
Exquisite detailing like wainscoting along the walls elevates the overall aesthetic, lending a refined and timeless quality.
3-Bedroom Condo at The Reef at King’s Dock | Renovation cost: $80,000
View this project by Next Phase Design
If you’ve ever wished your home could feel like a private villa or be on a 24/7 staycation, this 3-bedroom condo shows how it can be done. With a renovation budget of $80,000, the design embraces a contemporary resort aesthetic, turning the interiors into a space that feels warm, exclusive, and indulgent.
Details like the wall of framed black-and-white photos add a personal touch without disrupting the resort vibe, while the compact dry kitchen blends practicality with understated elegance.
The bathroom completes the picture with a large mirror cabinet, recessed lighting, and sleek sanitary fittings that make daily routines feel like part of a spa retreat.
3-Bedroom Condo at OLA | Renovation cost: $90,000
View this project by Space Atelier
With a renovation budget of $90,000, the homeowners of this 3-bedroom condo weren’t afraid to rethink their floor plan.
One of the common bedrooms was hacked down to make way for a spacious dining area, while the original dining zone was cleverly repurposed into a study nook that better suits their day-to-day lifestyle.
The dining area stands out as the crown jewel of the home. A plush curved banquette wraps around a marble-topped table, creating a cosy yet luxurious setting for meals and gatherings. To amplify the sense of scale, a full-height mirror was installed at the back—visually doubling the space and adding to the grandeur of the feature.
4-Bedroom Condo Renovations
4-Bedroom Condo at Dairy Farm Residences | Renovation cost: $25,000
View this project by L & Co Interior
If there’s one thing this 4-bedroom condo renovation shows, it’s that you don’t always need a full overhaul to create a welcoming home. With much of the space anchored by loose furnishings, the renovation budget was directed towards purposeful built-ins that enhance daily living.
In the living area, a marble-accented TV feature wall adds just the right touch of sophistication without being overly elaborate, complemented by a floating built-in console that provides storage while keeping the layout open.
The same design philosophy applies in the bedroom as well. A vanity is seamlessly integrated between the wardrobe and master bathroom, creating a private corner for getting ready without disrupting the flow of the room.
4-Bedroom Condo at Parc Clematis | Renovation cost: $36,000
View this project by Renologist
This 4-bedroom condo renovation has garnered more than 100 photo saves on Qanvast, and it’s easy to see why. The living room is dressed in timeless marble-look finishing and a sleek false ceiling with cove lighting, setting the tone for a classic modern condo aesthetic. Wooden accents soften the look, balancing warmth with sophistication.
At 1400 sqft, this is one of the larger unit types, yet the renovation was achieved with a budget of just $36,000 — covering not only the built-ins like the cabinet shelves and false ceiling, but also lighting fixtures and decorative touches, likely meaning that minimal works were done to the bedrooms and bathrooms.
4-Bedroom Condo at Jadescape | Renovation cost: $46,000
View this project by LA Design Studio
For this 4-bedroom home, much of the $46,000 renovation budget was devoted to a major space-planning move: combining the master bedroom with one of the common bedrooms.
This allowed the designers to carve out a walk-in wardrobe alongside a study nook, giving the homeowners both storage and functionality without compromising on comfort.
The wardrobe is fitted with sleek glass doors and custom shelving, maximising vertical storage while keeping everything organised and visually cohesive. Right beside it, the compact study nook is seamlessly built into the cabinetry — a practical setup that fits neatly into the overall layout while maintaining privacy.
The lower renovation cost probably means that minimal works were done to the junior master bedroom and bathrooms.

View this project by Schemacraft
If you’re thinking of going with a more unique theme or design, it makes sense that the renovation budget will be slightly more inflated. This 4-bedroom condo embraces an industrial-meets-resort aesthetic, blending raw finishes with laid-back vacation vibes.
A bold teal arch frames the dining zone, setting the stage for exposed beams, pendant lighting, and concrete-like flooring that nods to industrial chic.
4-Bedroom Condo at Affinity at Serangoon | Renovation cost: $75,000
View this project by Editor Interior
With its soaring double-volume ceiling and cleverly integrated loft, this 4-bedroom home feels airy, expansive, and tailored for modern living.
The design makes smart use of niches built into the carpentry, providing both practical storage and decorative display zones that add depth and personality to the interiors. These subtle details ensure the home remains sleek yet functional.
To tie everything together, the choice of finishes and materials leans towards a sophisticated modern palette — a marble-effect TV wall that adds a sense of luxury, paired with sleek built-ins. Textured accents round it out, balancing visual interest with timeless appeal.
4-Bedroom Condo at Parc Greenwich | Renovation cost: $130,000
View this project by Next Phase Design
Even with brand-new condos, a complete overhaul may sometimes be necessary to achieve a very specific design vision. This is particularly true if you’re planning extensive built-ins, altering the original layout with hacking and new partitions, or opting for premium materials that elevate both function and aesthetics.
In this 4-bedroom home, the homeowners leaned into a modern eclectic design theme, blending dark wood tones with bold pops of green and warm, textured finishes to create a home that feels both stylish and lived-in.
Throughout the home, thoughtful details — from herringbone timber flooring to custom-built shelving and mood lighting — give each space a sense of character while tying back to the eclectic, layered theme.
5-Bedroom Condo Renovations
5-Bedroom Condo at Jadescape | Renovation cost: $62,000
View this project by Forefront Interior
When working with a sprawling 5-bedroom condo, the design challenge is to balance space with cohesion. This Jadescape home does exactly that, embracing a streamlined modern aesthetic anchored in natural materials.
At the heart of the design is the living and dining area, where warm timber tones stretch across the walls, subtly concealing storage and entryways for a seamless, uncluttered look.
Subtle design moves—like the piano alcove built into the wall and the understated glass-encased foyer—further enhance both function and flow, making every corner purposeful yet discreet.

View this project by Urban Home Design 二本設計家
Drawing inspiration from modern Scandinavian and wabi-sabi interiors, this 5-bedroom home leans into clean curves, creamy tones, and plenty of natural light.
The living area is anchored by a custom circular ceiling recess that frames the fan, while a soft, curved sofa mirrors its form — creating a fluid, organic flow that instantly feels calming.
Arched niches and built-in shelving further enhance the sculptural quality of the space, offering both storage and display while maintaining the home’s minimalist aesthetic. The sheer curtains also diffuse light beautifully, making the living and dining area feel airy yet intimate.
Throughout the home, the palette stays consistent: neutral tones and tactile finishes that evoke the tranquility of a resort retreat, while still being practical for everyday family living.
