3-Room Flats

3-Room HDB Renovation

Around 60–65 sqm, a 3-room flat rewards clever design more than any other type. The right built-ins and an opened-up kitchen make a compact flat live large — without the budget of a bigger unit.

Ideas that work in 3-room flats

Open the kitchen

Most older 3-room kitchens are enclosed. Removing the non-structural partition (with HDB permit) and adding a peninsula counter transforms the entire common area.

Full-height storage walls

One wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry stores more than three loose wardrobes and makes the room feel taller, not smaller.

Light palettes, fewer materials

Two or three finishes used consistently — light oak, warm white, one accent — make 60 sqm feel calm and continuous rather than busy.

Platform bed with storage

In compact bedrooms, a platform with drawers replaces a bedframe plus dresser, freeing floor area for a workspace.
