4 Room BTO - scandinavian 🤍

hi all! 😩

i been seeing alot people posting their renovation on Lemon8 and im tempted to post mine too! Since Lemon8 only restricts to 10 photos lol i selected my top 10 i like 😂

do note i love toys and plushies so my house has plushies everywhere and as u can see popmarts ☺️

My house theme is scandiavian, is a 4 room BTO project at hougang. we just moved in officially on 12 August 2025. The project took 2 months to complete due to me and my husband indecisiveness.. we could had completed earlier but ohwells.

The overall budget for this house as per photos, we wanted to make the house a comfortable and cozy theme when we head back home we wanted to feel relax. So we went with this theme.

Honestly most of the renovation process was diccussed more with my ID and husband 🙃 i just sat down and helped with minor stuffs HAHAHAHAH. leave it to the hubby!

i really love my home theme because is cozy. And we did the house within a budget. If yall are curious, for carpentry works (whole house) & electrical works (for the entite house), we spend SGD $37K for the whole house which was within our ideal budget🥰

i personally love the most is my display cabinet for my baby popmarts and collection HAHAH. spend a whopping 2.6k to customized this but is so worth :)

Our furniture we spend $25K SGD for the whole house so total renovation cost we spend was about $62K which is still within a budget.

ID REVIEW- Rating /⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: 4.5/ 5. 🙂

i personally like my ID alot where i think the first meetup when i met up with him he was really transparent with the prices and everything. Most of all, he doesnt MIA what🙂 alot id nightmare horror stories here which i know lol. But my id was responsive throughout the process. Hes open to feedback and improving things for the house renovation too. He would help us to inform his contractors to rectify the issues as fast as he can also. I personally enjoyed my renovation process with him and he even explained to me (as a person who has 0 knowledge on reno) on things. Im glad mostly hes not a nightmare ID. vibes were it and everything was ok ☺️ in the end project was handover nicely.

$37K budget for 4 room BTO project with an ID. never thought it was do able but it is!

just sharing these piece of journey here!! hehehehee

if anyone wants my ID contact, feel free to comment ☺️

thanks for taking a look at my post! ❤️

... Read moreWhen planning a Scandinavian-themed 4-room BTO renovation, there are several key considerations that helped me create a cozy and practical living space. Scandinavian design emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and natural elements, which makes it ideal for small to medium-sized HDB flats like ours. One tip is to prioritize open and airy layouts, which make your home feel larger and more inviting. I particularly love how my custom display cabinet showcases my Popmart collection while blending seamlessly into the overall aesthetic. Investing in quality carpentry services that understand this design philosophy can make a huge difference. Budget is always a concern. For us, allocating approximately SGD $37K for renovation works (carpentry & electrical) and another SGD $25K for furniture was manageable. You can definitely find ways to cut costs by sourcing simple yet stylish furniture pieces that complement the Scandinavian look, like light wood tones and neutral colors. Having an ID who is transparent, responsive, and open to feedback was invaluable. It avoided many renovation nightmares and kept the project on track within our 2-month timeframe. If you’re considering an ID, look for someone who communicates well and doesn’t disappear mid-way. For those interested, finding inspiration from 4-room BTO design ideas with open kitchen layouts or multi-functional living spaces can optimize your home’s utility. Lighting is also crucial; Scandinavian interiors benefit from ample natural light and soft, warm artificial lighting. This renovation journey taught me that achieving a beautiful Scandinavian home on a budget is absolutely doable with careful planning, clear communication with your ID, and thoughtful selection of furnishings. I hope sharing my experience encourages you to embark on your own renovation confidently! If you're curious about specific renovation costs or my ID contact, feel free to reach out in the comments. Happy renovating!
