Designing a Dream Home: Creative Ideas for Your 5-Room HDB Flat
If you’re renovating a 5-room flat, you’ve got so many possibilities.
Do you want to open up your kitchen, or keep it enclosed?
Do you want to knock down one bedroom for a living space?
In this article, we share 6 different 5-room flat configurations, so you can get inspired.
1. This 5-room flat with clearly demarcated zones

With a 5-room flat, you’ve got the luxury of space.
If you’d like, you can carve out a larger entryway by laying down different floor tiles.
This “zones” out the area and makes it visually distinct from the rest of the home.
2. This 5-room flat with a TV console that acts as a divider

If you’ve got many people in your family, you’ll want to think about how family members can be together, but doing their own activities at the same time.
One option? Use dividers so that everyone gets more privacy!
3. This 5-room flat with collapsible glass doors

These collapsible doors give you the best of both worlds.
When someone is working and doesn’t want to be disturbed, close the doors to give them some peace and quiet.
When you’re hosting your friends and family, collapse the doors so that there’s more space to walk around.
4. This 5-room flat with a dry kitchen and wet kitchen

Dry and wet kitchens are fast becoming a thing in Singapore.
You have your wet kitchen (typically an enclosed space) which is where you do your heavy cooking.
Your dry kitchen is where you have storage for snacks and beverages, and perhaps a counter with some bar stools, so you can entertain your guests!
5. This industrial-style 5-room flat

How cool does this industrial-style home look?
Pro-tip: If you’re not sure if you want to commit to having brick walls over the long run, get wallpaper instead of tiles. These are easier to remove if you want to switch up your look!
6. This 5-room flat with room to grow

Yes, you’ve got plenty of space with a 5-room flat, but that does not mean you need to build up every square inch and fill it with loads of cabinets and storage space.
It’s perfectly fine to go with the less is more approach, where you purchase a couple of loose furniture and let the rest of your space breathe.
