Many of you were inspired by our previous article on “15 homes so beautiful you wouldn’t believe the’re HDB flats“. But at the same time, we received feedback saying these makeovers were only achievable with 4 or 5 room HDB flats. And therefore it is unrealistic for the majority of us living in HDB flats with significantly smaller floor area.
We’re here to prove you wrong.
In the second part of our inspirational design series, we’ve decided to put the spotlight on these smaller flats. Believe it or not, every picture of these HDB flats that you’re about to see are of 3-room flats.
Here comes Part 2 of our beautiful Singapore home series. Enjoy!

Honestly, I have this thing for white walls and classic toned-down colours. It exudes an air of tranquillity, and it’s the kind of simple sophistication that’s just right for me.

To say that I’m mind-blown is an understatement.
Design firm Ciseern had wanted to stimulate the constraints and limitations that people might face with a 3-room flat, and I must say, they got what they intended.
