before proceeding further, ask yourself these few questions:
What do you love and what do you hate in your current space?
What colors do you love and what colors you really don’t want to see at all?
Do you have some picture of an ideal HDB Flat in your mind?
Do you want a traditional look or a contemporary look and feel of your home?
How you are going to use a particular space?
Are there any special needs of yours that you want to be met?
And, last but not the least, how much budget you have set aside to accomplish your vision and is that enough?
Well, when it comes to setting a budget for home renovation, people most of the times forget to include additional expenses that might not be covered by a basic renovation package.
The average amount it takes to renovate a typical HDB flat is about $20k-$30k. This amount excludes additional expenses such as the cost of new furniture, lights, curtains, air conditioning and more.
