If you didn’t already know, it’s generally more expensive and time-consuming to renovate a resale home than a brand new one, due to wear and tear. Plus, with a 3-room flat, you don’t have the luxury of space either. BUT, with these clever space-planning tips, you can make any small apartment feel and look bigger.

Read on to find out how!

1. Adopt an Open-Concept Layout

3-room resale homes tend to have a narrower layout compared to their current BTO counterparts. To fully maximise this layout, try hacking the walls between rooms so that there’s more walking room.

2. Keep Your Cabinetry Close to The Walls

Flushing the shelves and cabinets against the walls creates plenty of walking space. Another great tip is to avoid placing furniture or other bulky objects along this walkway, so as not disrupt the flow.

3. Go Light

One of the easiest ways to achieve the illusion of space is to go with a lighter, neutral colour palette. Using white wall paint and light-coloured furnishing pieces makes the whole space appear bigger as it enables more light to ‘reflect’ throughout the room.
