Found the place of your dreams? Now that you’ve got your perfect property, let’s turn it into a cosy home. While a house renovation might seem a bit daunting, the results make it all worthwhile. Best of all, when it comes to the Singapore real estate market, few properties are as coveted as maisonettes and executive condos. These spacious abodes are an interior decorator’s dream come true!

From industrial urban chic to Scandinavian-inspired minimalism, HDB maisonette interior design and executive condo renovations have unlimited potential. Ready to create a cosy space that reflects your unique style? There has never been a better time to get started.

Looking for inspiration? Here is your complete maisonette interior design guide.

Getting Started with Executive Maisonette Renovation

Thanks to their spacious layout, HDB maisonette renovation is only limited by your imagination. But before you start dreaming, start planning. To design a well-appointed space, it is essential, to begin with, the basics. That means doing your homework and learning about all of your options.


The best way to get going is by looking at the hottest interior design styles in Singapore. Familiarise yourself with what’s out there. Before you make a final decision on your design style, take the time to understand your style options and pinpoint your preferences. Get to know what you love, and identify the decor types that don’t work for you. Having this familiarity with design concepts is priceless as you start planning.

Of course, when you work with a designer, you’ll have professional guidance to help you take your property to the next level. To create a space that is beautiful and entirely suited to your lifestyle, however, communication is key. Basic knowledge of key concepts and an understanding of your preferences will go a long way in design planning sessions. Before you make that final design decision, it’s time to do a bit of homework.

Finding HDB Maisonette Renovation Ideas

Love it or hate it, social media is perfect for finding design inspiration. Scroll through our Instagram feed to see other HBD maisonette renovations in Singapore. Save the styles you like. Make note of what styles you don’t like and spend a minute to consider why they don’t work for you. Explore YouTube and Pinterest for other design inspiration and create a central space to keep all of your design inspiration.

When you are working with designers and contractors, these inspirational photos will be invaluable. As they say: a picture is worth a thousand words. Particularly in creative industries, it isn’t always easy to put concepts into words. You’ll transform your ability to communicate (and get exactly what you want!) by being able to point at pics and illustrate the specific ideas you’re talking about.

It might seem like a long and maybe even dull process if you don’t love design as much as we do! But, simply spending an hour goes a long way. Once you have identified a few design styles that you like, start breaking down your maisonette or condo room by room.

HDB Maisonette Kitchen Design Inspiration

The kitchen is often the centre of the home, and it’s a good place to start with your maisonette design. Check out a few of our recent HDB executive maisonette kitchen designs and small kitchen remodels to get inspired.

As you browse maisonette kitchen designs and HDB maisonette renovation ideas, consider the fixed elements of your space. Do you have a lot of natural light? If not, look to bright colours, reflective surfaces, and ample lighting fixtures. Got a wide open space? Consider ways to define your kitchen and separate it from the rest of the space.

Executive Maisonette Renovation Ideas: Minimalist Bedrooms

Over the past decade, minimalist interiors have become a mainstay in the world of design. Embracing sophistication and banishing clutter has become the order of the day. In the hustle and bustle of life in Singapore, there is nothing like coming home to a tranquil space. This is an especially great strategy for your bedroom. Having a calming open space focused on nothing more than sleep is always a winning strategy.

But minimalism isn’t as easy as it looks! There is a fine line between modern minimalist decor and empty spaces without character. No one wants a room that looks like someone threw a mattress on the floor and called it a day. Creating an effortlessly chic minimalist space takes careful planning and an understanding of design.

In a recent 5-room HDB renovation, we played with light and space to create a wide-open sanctuary in the bedroom. Simple details like adding lighting under and behind the bed removed the lamps from the bedroom. Sliding doors made the space open yet adaptable. Taking away all of the clutter and distractions, the airy and open home achieved a zen-like sentiment that was perfect for the owners.

Bathrooms in Executive Maisonette: Scandinavian Renovation Ideas

Bathrooms are a place to get experimental. Rather than establishing one grand maisonette design, stay flexible in each room. Let each individual space guide you. For example, during a recent DBSS remodel, we embraced a bright and airy Scandinavian style to open up the space. To make the most of every window, we filled the space with light reflective surfaces. From a transparent coffee table to high-gloss kitchen cabinets, openness was the central focus. Scandinavia may be on the other side of the globe from Singapore, but it’s the perfect aesthetic for so many of our homes.

Just look at this Scandinavian bathroom remodel. A once dark and cramped space was transformed into an open shower wall. To maximise every sun beam shining through, we utilised big mirrors and added lighting to corners. Now the space feels bright and airy.

Maximising Your Space with Maisonette Balcony Ideas

Whether you have a tiny nook or a spacious overlook, the right maisonette balcony design will make the most of every sun-soaked centimetre. Just like interior space, planning is key. To create the perfect space, spend time planning and reflecting.

Are you creating a lush little escape filled with tropical greenery? Or do you have an HDB maisonette balcony roof that you want to turn into a zen escape? To help you decide, consider how you will use the space. Is it an area to unwind after a long stressful day? Or a place for dinner with friends? More than any other space in your home, balconies are defined by their purpose and size. Know your goals for the space and use them to guide your planning.

Showing Off Your Architecture with Maisonette Interior Design

As you plan your design, remember that you don’t have to limit yourself to one style. Your goal isn’t to replicate something you saw online. Instead, you want to curate different styles and make them all uniquely yours. And listen to your space! Make the most of the unique features that make your home a one-of-a-kind gem.

For example, look at our recent HDB maisonette renovation. This bright and airy 5-room maisonette condo was a dream palette for creating the perfect maisonette interior design in Singapore. The beautiful architecture called for industrial elements that draw attention to the impressive features. 

Maisonette design in Singapore often incorporates this kind of industrial chic style because it puts the spotlight on stunning elements like high ceilings, brickwork, and oversized windows. As you consider maisonette renovation ideas, think about the best features of your home.

Incorporating Modern Style in HDB Executive Maisonette Interior Design

When it comes to HDB maisonette design, modern interior decor is one of the most requested styles. And it’s easy to see why. Making your home comfortable and cosy is always paramount and modern style makes that easy.

Modern design is a perfect blend of form and function. With roots in Scandinavian design and German Bauhaus style, modern interiors focus on clean lines, minimalism, neutral colours, and open spaces. With all of the timeless charm of classic interiors minus the fussy details, modern style is accessible and easy.

Creating a modern interior design is simple and well worthwhile. One of our most prominent 4-bedder condominium remodels in Singapore was a modern interior makeover that created an easy and livable elegance.
