Home renovation

Home is the shelter to our beloved family. Home is the place that we spend the most of our time in our life. 1 year 365 days, 1 month 30 days, 1 week 7 days and every night, we stay in our own house for protection, comfort ability and warmness. Home is also the place that our children grow up, the playground for our children, and the place for our wife to manage our family.

House is the first consideration to own after marriage and having own family. In Singapore, buying a HDB flat for the first time entitle for government grant. After government grant subsidy, the HDB flat cost around 100k plus to 300k plus depending on HDB location and its size like 3 bedroom HDB flat, 4 bedroom HDB flat and 5 bedroom HDB flat. After the HDB BTO launch until certification of completion with house key normally takes around 3-4 years.

When the Singapore HDB flat house key collected, the house is empty, nothing but just like a covered rectangle space with bathroom and wall partition. House renovation is the first thing the house owner needs to consider. Without proper home renovation, it is not suitable to stay yet. Talking about house renovation, renovation costs come across the mind. So, what is the Singapore renovation costs for a HDB flat home renovation, at least for the basic type like wiring and lighting, kitchen renovation like kitchen table top and kitchen cabinet, wardrobe cabinet, and grill door if house owner wanted protection for family and assets in the house against the theft which might occur.

For the wiring and lighting, it is depend on house owner will on whether needed to add more power point, running wire to add more lighting lamp which is not equipped with wire, how far for the new power point or new lighting location, lighting lamp installation, and the type of lighting lamp house owner like to install. Cost of type of lighting lamp purchase can vary few 10 dollars to over thousand dollars.

Wardrobe cabinet is another main furniture stuff in house renovation list. Wardrobe is used at least twice a day. In one day, at least we open our wardrobe 2 times for cloth selection for work, for home use after back from house, and change sleeping cloth at night. Hence, it is important for wardrobe durability for its duty. Besides that, wardrobe cabinet might be also the place for house owner to keep important documents and some jewelry. A solid and durable wardrobe is a must and very important. Due to wardrobe is installed in bedroom and house owner live with it, see it and use it every day, the design and its looks should be considered too. Simple, elegant and durable should be top choice of selection. Remember that you pay it for only one time, but you are using it for the rest of the time. Aluminium wardrobe or aluminium sliding glass door wardrobe provides the functionality of adjustable storage space, durability and capability of mantle and dismantle. It means that house owner can dismantle the aluminium wardrobe or aluminium glass door wardrobe and move it to new house and reinstall it. Aluminium sliding glass door wardrobe is environment friendly and recyclability product.

Lastly, house renovation cost for a Singapore HDB flat is grill door. Grill door is installed for theft protection against assets loss and family safety. It is common that every Singapore HDB are installed with grill door. Grill door prices vary from its materials like steel, aluminium to iron, grill door’s design and décor, and the grill door size. The material causes the major different of grill door price.


Once every house renovation concern are in place and accounted, house owner need to start to search for reliable renovation contractor. Due to recent years’ property market boom, interior design companies are mushrooming. It is easy to locate a Singapore interior design company. Renovation contractor can come from interior design companies if you need house designs advice or direct to renovation contractor if you are not request for house interior design from the designer and having your own home decor ideas. It is important that the renovation contractor have proven record of home renovation before decide either to use them or not. Prices are important thing to consider but the renovation contractor credibility is even more important as it can cost you more problems and wasting of money and time if problem arise. House owner should know that nothing good thing come with cheap.

There are many different types of built in wardrobe design you can choose for when decorating a bedroom, however the best way to get a good clothing storage solution and make your room look really good is to choose sliding door wardrobe. Here we look at what makes sliding door wardrobe so much better than the traditional wooden wardrobe for most people:

1. Sliding Door Wardrobe Give You More Space for Clothes

Sliding door wardrobe design gives you more space for your clothes because they use the full height of the room and make the most of the wall space. Rather than being limited to the dimensions of a standing wardrobe, you have all of the wall space to utilise.

2. Sliding Door Wardrobe Look Neater

Sliding door wardrobe design don’t need a space all of their own, because they blend in to the walls in the bedroom, they don’t look like they take up as much space as they do. They simply form part of the room. This gives a much smarter, tidier appearance than standing wardrobe.

3. Sliding Door Wardrobe Can Be Customised

You can customise both the interior and exterior of the sliding door wardrobe, making it work better for you. Whether you are using the wardrobe just for yourself or you have to share it with a partner, you can organise the hanging and rack space inside to suit the kind of things you have. If you have a lot of coats, suits or dresses you will want more hang space, whereas if you have a lot of t-shirts you may prefer more drawers or shelves.

4. Sliding Door Wardrobe Can Be Installed For You

However, it is easy to get outside renovation contractor to build the partition for the sliding door wardrobe. The rest of the setting is easy to install and setup. They are all reusable and durable, easy to dismantle and reinstall.

5. Sliding Door Wardrobe Don’t Get In

Wardrobe design with doors that open out can be awkward, especially in a small room. With sliding door wardrobe you don’t have to worry about moving your bed or other furniture into a certain position so you can fully open the doors, so they are much easier to decorate around and live with. It is much easier to live with a sliding door arrangement when you want to get to the stuff inside.

6. Make the Most of Your Space

There is no need to surrender a lot of floor space to a built in wardrobe. A sliding door wardrobe design makes good use of any wall in the room. Built directly into the wall and hidden by large, sliding glass door, these storage systems provide you with an incredible amount of storage in a very small space. Requiring only a small amount of floor space along one wall, you can easily store all of your clothing and accessories behind the sliding doors. Because all of the panels slide smoothly, you will be able to reach every corner of the wardrobe.

7. Contemporary Design And Look

You can personalise the wardrobe design for the sliding door wardrobe to match the rest of the area. The glass doors are smooth and glide easily on concealed tracks, and you can customise their finished look. The choice is yours, and you are sure to love how it changes the feel of your room.
