What’s Included in Our HDB Resale and BTO Interior Design Scope
Every HDB home comes with different spatial challenges and lifestyle needs. Rather than offering fixed packages, our HDB interior design services are scoped thoughtfully based on your home layout, renovation goals, and budget. Below is an overview of what is commonly included when working with MYD Interior Studio on resale HDB interior design or BTO interior design projects.
Space Planning and Layout Optimisation
We begin by assessing how your space is currently used and how it can be improved. This includes reconfiguring layouts, improving circulation, and planning storage to support daily living, especially for compact homes that require efficient interior design for HDB flats.
Concept Development and Design Direction
Each project is guided by a clear design concept that reflects your preferences and lifestyle. Material selections, colour palettes, and finishes are proposed to ensure a cohesive look that balances aesthetics with practicality across the home.
Custom Carpentry and Built-In Solutions
Tailored carpentry plays a key role in HDB and BTO interior design, helping to maximise storage while maintaining visual clarity. Wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, feature walls, and integrated storage are designed to suit your layout rather than forcing standard solutions.
Coordination of Renovation Works
From hacking and masonry to electrical and plumbing coordination, renovation works are carefully managed to ensure proper sequencing and quality control. This structured approach helps reduce disruptions and keeps the renovation process clear and organised.
Design Consultation and Project Guidance
Working with an experienced HDB interior designer in Singapore means having guidance at every stage. Our team supports decision-making, addresses site considerations, and ensures design intent is carried through from planning to completion.
Our Interior Design Process for BTO & HDB Flats
At MYD Interior Studio, we offer a well-structured, client-first approach to interior design for BTO and HDB flats. Our process ensures that every detail is thoughtfully managed, from design planning to renovation completion.
Consultation & Needs Assessment
We begin by understanding your lifestyle, preferences, and space requirements. This allows us to align the design concept with your practical and aesthetic goals.
Site Visit & Measurements
Once the unit is ready or accessible, we conduct a detailed site inspection to assess the actual space, take accurate measurements, and identify structural constraints or opportunities.
Space Planning & Concept Development
Based on your input, we propose efficient layouts and design concepts, including mood boards and 3D visuals. We prioritise optimal space utilisation, flow, and custom solutions that suit your lifestyle and future needs.
Materials Selection & Budget Planning
Our designers guide you through the selection of finishes, fixtures, and fittings that match your design theme and budget. We also provide a clear cost breakdown and recommendations to help you make informed decisions.
Design Proposal & HDB Submission
We prepare a comprehensive design proposal and, where necessary, assist with submissions to HDB for renovation permits and compliance approvals.
Renovation & On-Site Supervision
Once the design is finalised, we manage the renovation process end to end. This includes scheduling, contractor coordination, and on-site supervision, to ensure quality workmanship and timely completion.
Styling & Handover
To complete the experience, we assist with final styling touches such as lighting, furnishings, and décor. A thorough inspection is conducted before handing over your finished home.
