Transform Your Home With Creative HDB BTO Design Ideas
If you live in an HDB BTO apartment, you might have the perception that there are less ways to creatively design them to give them a beautiful, elegant, and comforting look. However, whether you live in a large or a small HDB BTO apartment, you can transform its interior into a highly attractive and unique appearance depending on your individual preferences. By seeking inspiration from various HDB BTO interior design ideas, you can make your apartment appear trendy or classic, modern or vintage, or elegant or rustic.
This article discusses some amazing interior design ideas for HDB BTO apartments in Singapore that can inspire you to incorporate those ideas into your home and add your unique touch to them to create the home of your dreams. So let’s dive into some of these creative HDB interior design ideas.
A Modern Rustic Look
When you think of a particular interior design theme, often you will feel that your home will turn out to be just like any other home which has also incorporated the same theme as yours. However, if two or more interior design styles are fused together, the result is a beautiful harmony of beauty and elegance.
One of such creative and unique HDB BTO interior design ideas is to fuse together a modern look with a slight rustic and raw touch to it. A modern or contemporary home is all about perfection and elegance but when it combines with the raw and unfiltered ambience of a rustic interior, you will get a highly unique and creative home.
This theme can be seen materialised in one of our HDB residential projects at 413C NORTHSHORE DRIVE, 4 ROOM HDB BTO FLAT where the crude nature of a rustic interior is fused with a contemporary appearance. The living room shown in the following image depicts two main colours, dark grey and tan wood that compliment each other and represent two different interior design styles. The grey and white depict the highly sophisticated nature of a contemporary interior design style while the tan wood hues take us into a world of raw, rustic spaces. The wooden textured dining table, the wood and cane dining chairs, and the tan leather sofa in the lounge all create a rustic ambience while the clean lines in the cabinetry and the sleek kitchen structures add a contemporary and modern touch to the space.
Another image from this HDB BTO apartment shows how a barn-style door has been incorporated into the bedroom that adds a touch of raw tradition to a modern space. Once again, the balance of brown, grey, and white hues elevate this room’s interior and makes this BTO interior design idea a unique and creative one to be taken inspiration from.
An Earthly, Tranquil Abode
Now let’s move on to another unique yet breath-taking interior design idea for HDB BTOs that gives out tranquil and comforting vibes. A modern, elegant looking home may not be for everyone; some people want more comfort and a feeling of warmth in their homes that can help them take their stress away. If you want that type of ambience in your HDB BTO, then this earthly, tranquil interior design style is definitely for you.
This 4-room HDB at BLK 115A ALKAFF CRESCENT designed by us is a true testament to what comfort and beauty merged together looks like. Embrace maximalism as you add in elements of comfort and warmth in your interior. Choosing a dark colour palette immediately adds that touch of tranquillity and warmth in the space which is further enhanced through the addition of comfortable sofas with lots of cushions. The two-layered curtains give the options of either creating a sun-kissed apartment by using the sheer white drapes or transforming it into a relaxing abode by drawing the thick grey curtains. The addition of track lights in the ceiling help illuminate the space while also adding an elegant ambience in the room. The use of wooden elements in the form of the kitchen island/dining table, and the doors help bring that earthly vibe into the interior that creates a serene and tranquil atmosphere.
The bedroom of this HDB BTO exudes the same tranquil and laid-back vibes with its earthly-wooden flooring, comfortable bed, and a curtain around the bed that can be drawn as required to give a more cosy and private look. Lots of comforting elements like plush cushions, ottomans, and floor mats further add to this room’s comforting ambience and makes this HDB BTO interior design idea very relatable and easy to incorporate in your BTO apartment irrespective of its size.
A Fun Minimalist Interior
If you are a fan of the minimalist interior design theme for HDBs, then you may wish to incorporate it into your HDB BTO. However, a minimalist interior, quite at times, becomes too dull and boring with very little furniture and decorative elements and a white-dominating colour palette. However, there is no restriction to make a minimalist interior fun and bright. How? By taking inspiration from the following interior design portfolio of this creative 5-room BTO.
As can be seen in the following image of the HDB BTO at TECK GHEE PARKVIEW, ANG MO KIO STREET 44, the living room has been designed minimalistically with very less furniture and limited decorative elements. However, to add a fun element to this HDB BTO interior design, a complete wall of the living room has been transformed into an accent wall by painting it in a bright, blue colour. The dark brown wooden flooring compliments the accent wall and the various modern lighting fixtures and recessed lighting underneath the wooden platform further adds a touch of element and grace to this minimalist interior design.
The kitchen in this HDB BTO also shows how just by adding a bright blue colour to the cabinets, you can create a bright and interesting looking minimalist kitchen that can easily be copied into your HDB BTO in Singapore. You can even choose some other bright colour of your choice instead of blue.
Fusion of Elegance and Functionality
Often when we look at various interior design styles for HDBs, we either see functionality in the space or elegance. But what happens when you merge both these interior design concepts and incorporate them into your HDB BTO? Your apartment will then become a heavenly abode that will not only appear beautiful and elegant, but will provide you with all the necessary functionality to make your life beautiful and convenient.
One of our renovated 5-room HDB BTOs at BLK 356B UBI AVE 3 has been designed to keep beauty and functionality in mind. With this HDB BTO interior design idea, you can see how easily you can incorporate functionality even in a small space while still managing to keep the area look attractive. The living room picture below shows an elegant and sophisticated space with all the right elements and textures: marble media wall, plush grey curtains, trendy centre table, and comfortable L-shaped sofa. However, to conserve and utilise space, the area behind the sofa in the same living room has been utilised to create a working space to add maximum functionality. By using a sleek table that serves as a study table, the designers have conserved maximum space to create a highly productive, elegant workspace.
The bedroom in this HDB BTO shows how you can add functionality and elegance in your room also. Everybody needs cupboards in their bedroom. Why not transform their look and add glass doors to them with spotlights and LED strip lights inside that highlight all your accessories and add an element of awe to the space? By incorporating this interior design style into your Singapore HDB BTO, you too can create a highly functional yet elegant space.
Chic Aesthetics and Comforting Style
Finally, we discuss another interesting and creative Singapore HDB BTO interior design idea where chic aesthetics meet comfort and style. Get ready to embrace the beauty of nature as it adds that element of elegance and comfort in a space that has already been made beautiful by using various design structures and elements.
The living room of an HDB BTO at 475A YISHUN ST 44 that has been designed by us is shown in the picture below. The living room depicts a colour palette of black and brown that not only compliment each other but together bring about an ambience of style and chicness in the space. The warm track lights further highlight all the accents and stylish fixtures to elevate the room’s appearance. Finally, the addition of green plants in various parts of the room add that touch of warmth and nature to this stylish space.
The open-concept kitchen with the adjoining dining area is also a masterpiece of elegance and beauty. The marble-top dining table with comfortable leather sofa-chairs are illuminated through the stylish hanging lamps while the functional kitchen at the back looks amazingly beautiful. Again, the fresh plants add a touch of nature and warmth to the space.
