Small apartment renovation: Pre-planning checklist for Singapore homes (checklist)

Start by defining your renovation goals, setting a budget, and researching interior design firms experienced in small spaces.

Consider space-saving solutions like built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and vertical storage options.

Check with HDB or the relevant building authority to determine if your renovation requires permits, especially for structural changes or hacking walls.

Prioritize essential areas, optimize traffic flow, and use open-concept designs to make the space feel larger.

Look for designers with a portfolio showcasing small space transformations, read reviews, and ensure they understand your style and budget.
