Firstly, congratulations on securing your Tampines GreenEmerald 2 Room Flexi unit!Â
Now the real challenge begins: renovating your home without regrets!Â
We've reviewed over 1500+ renovated BTO homes — We've seen both good and bad. In this article, we’re sharing 'straight to the point' + 'no-fluff' layout ideas and hacks to help you maximise your home.
1. Incorporate Sliding Doors
Opting for sliding doors instead of traditional swing doors can save space and allow for a seamless transition between rooms.
However, we suggest you consider the maintenance that comes with sliding doors. These doors may require more maintenance than traditional doors.Â

Sliding tracks also typically wear out in ~10 years.
2. Opt for a Platform Bed
Investing in furniture that serves multiple purposes can be particularly useful in small spaces.Â

3. Embrace Open Concept
Creating a more open atmosphere can improve the flow and connectivity within your 2 Room Flexi HDB.
One way you can achieve this is by removing walls between the living room and dining area or the kitchen and dining area.

We recommend you consult a qualified contractor to ensure safety and compliance with HDB regulations.
4. The More Functions the Merrier
Investing in furniture that serves multiple purposes can be particularly useful in small spaces.
It can save you money without compromising on your needs.

5. Maximise Your Vertical Space
In a 2 Room Flexi BTO, utilising vertical space is crucial for creating a functional and organised living environment.Â
When floor space is limited, looking upwards can provide valuable storage solutions and enhance the overall aesthetics of your home.
Tall shelves or cabinets can also draw the eye upward, creating the illusion of higher ceilings.
