Cozy and Stylish: Design Ideas for Your 3-Room HDB Flat

Who says you can’t do much, design-wise, with a 3-room flat?

Yes, you have less space – so it’s all about using that space wisely, and finding ways to streamline.

In this article, we share 6 more ideas for 3-room HDB flats. If you haven’t already, read part one and part two of the article first!

1. This 3-room flat with multi-functional furniture

When you’re living in a small space, you’ve got to be intentional with your furniture.

Wherever possible, get multi-functional furniture, such as this storage bench that doubles up as extra seating.

If that’s not living smart, we don’t know what is! 😉

2. This 3-room flat that’s filled with light

How do you make a small space look bigger?

Simple – use light colours on the walls and ceilings, and make sure it’s got tons of natural light!

3. This 3-room flat with creative built-ins

If you’re short on space, building in furniture might just be your best bet.

For example: you can get a really sleek, streamlined workspace by simply building in a wooden floating shelf, like how the homeowners have done here.

4. This 3-room flat with glass panels in the spare room

If you want your space to look larger, another trick is to replace your walls with glass panels.

Your home will instantly look bigger – just be mindful of the mess and clutter in the room! 😉

5. This cozy 3-room flat that’s giving us Hyggae vibes

We love how cozy this flat is, and how the rug on the floor doubles up as extra seating for guests.

6. This 3-room flat with an open concept layout

The less enclosed your flat is, the less boxed in you’ll feel.

Why not go for a open layout? You can always use your furniture to demarcate your space and create different zones.
