HDB under $30,000

1) 461D Bukit Batok West - $26,000

This cool Bukit Batok West apartment uses a strong yellow to create interest and visual texture in its mix of monochrome whites and greys. The large windows have been lightly dressed to allow lots of natural light into the room without adding too much glare. The yellow contrast continues into the dining space with a golden-toned table and chairs, and gold coloured pendant lights. More texture is used in the flooring to separate the kitchen space from the dining and living areas. In the bathroom the use of different textures continues, this time in a bolder way with fun patterned tiles combined with timber-look tiles. The gold tones from the main space continue with gold-toned hardware and mirror.

The calm and welcoming look continues into the modern kitchen, with the continuation of pale timber and clean white cabinets and tiles.

3) Sun Natura - $28,000

The basic neutral tones of this Sun Natura HDB apartment have been brightened up with the use of colourful wallpaper in the dining area, which also acts as a feature wall for the open plan living space.

The large gold framed mirror in the living area is an easy way to create the illusion of more space. It’s practical too.
