HDB resale flat renovation is a great opportunity to create a personalised living space that suits your lifestyle. When it comes to this, effective planning is essential to ensure the renovation enhances both functionality and value. Optimising space while maintaining aesthetics can make a significant difference. That’s why having a reliable contractor is crucial to achieving the best results.
Here are some essential tips for you
1. Plan for Space Optimisation
One of the biggest challenges in flat renovation is making the most of the available space. Flats, particularly two-room and three-room units, require smart storage solutions and efficient layouts to prevent cluttering looks. Instead of built-in cabinets, we recommend non-fixed structures, which involve less carpentry and offer greater flexibility for future changes without incurring high costs. Multi-functional furniture, modular shelving systems like MUJI’s stainless steel unit shelf (SUS) series, and concealed storage are also options to enhance usability while maintaining a clean and adaptable design.

2. Choose the Right Colour Palette
Colours are crucial in making a space feel larger and more inviting. Lighter shades like white, beige, or pastel tones can create an airy and spacious feel in two-room and three-room flats. Selecting a cohesive colour scheme during your HDB flat renovation will enhance continuity and brightness. We advise on paint finishes and materials that improve durability and maintenance.
3. Improve Lighting for a Balanced Home Atmosphere
Good lighting is essential for creating the right ambiance in any home, and an HDB flat renovation offers the perfect opportunity to optimise it. Rather than brightening every corner to eliminate shadows, we recommend a more subtle approach, inspired by ancient Japanese aesthetics, which values the interplay of light and shadow.
By incorporating indirect lighting through carefully positioned track lights, you can enhance the overall atmosphere without overwhelming the space. A mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting for your 2-room or 3-room flat creates balance, while mirrors reflect natural light, making the space appear more expansive. This lighting layout complements the design, maintaining energy efficiency while adding a touch of timeless Japanese style.
4. Open Concept Layouts for Better Flow
If your HDB flat renovation involves major layout changes, consider an open-concept design to create a more seamless flow. Removing non-structural walls between the living, dining, and kitchen areas can make a two-room or three-room flat feel more expansive. Adding elements like sliding doors can further enhance flexibility, allowing you to adjust the space based on your needs while maintaining an open feel. Collaborating with MUJI Renovation ensures 2-room or 3-room flat’s structural integrity and compliance with regulations while achieving a modern, open-plan design.
5. Upgrade Flooring for Comfort and Durability
Flooring plays a pivotal role in defining the look of your home, as it covers some of the most prominent areas. For a natural, comforting feel, we often recommend wood as a top choice. However, we also recognise that durability and practicality are key when renovating an HDB flat. Depending on your specific needs and budget, we can explore alternative options like vinyl and laminate to ensure the best fit for your space.
Maximising Your HDB Flat Renovation
A well-executed HDB flat renovation can significantly improve comfort and optimise the space. By focusing on space-saving designs, adequate lighting, quality materials, and modern enhancements, you can transform your two-room or three-room flat into a functional and appealing home. Partnering with MUJI Renovation for HDB resale flat renovation ensures that your vision is realised with quality craftsmanship and compliance with regulations.
