Several elements can influence the cost of an HDB resale renovation, including the size of the flat, the complexity of the renovation, the quality of materials used, and custom design features. We provide detailed cost estimates based on your specific project requirements.
When moving into an HDB resale flat, you inherit a space that reflects the tastes and style of its previous occupants. Unlike new Build-To-Order (BTO) flats, resale units often come with existing designs and layouts, which may not align with your vision for a dream home. Transforming this space into one that resonates with your personality requires careful planning and expertise.
With the right HDB interior design solutions, you can revitalise the space, enhance functionality, and craft a home that truly reflects your lifestyle. Whether you seek modern elegance or timeless charm, HDB resale renovation offers endless possibilities to tailor the flat to your needs.
