🧭 A Renovation Rooted in Precision, Wrapped in Simplicity

At ELPIS Interior Design, design doesn’t begin with materials. It begins with understanding. For this 4-room resale HDB in Bishan, the homeowner needed a space that felt calm, functional, and reflective of their lifestyle—not just a pretty layout.

We reconfigured the existing footprint through hacking, rewiring, and concealed ceiling systems, crafting a seamless flow from living to dining. The palette is grounded in soft neutrals and clean-lined built-ins, punctuated by ambient lighting and practical storage that doesn’t overwhelm.

Every element was designed with intentionality—because at ELPIS, Your Vision. Our Expertise.

💡 Why This Matters for You

If you’re planning your first HDB renovation or worried about exceeding your budget—you’re not alone.

Many Singaporean homeowners feel uncertain navigating costs, timelines, and conflicting design opinions. That’s why showcasing real projects—like this one—matters. You get clarity on what’s possible within a clear budget. You see the scope. And most importantly, you see how a home can be beautiful and livable without excessive complication.

Our process is structured to support you at every turn. From layout optimization to working with your lifestyle habits and HDB constraints, we offer more than aesthetic ideas—we offer clarity, confidence, and calm.

✨ See how we brought quiet modernity into a 4-room HDB—balanced, effortless, and family-ready.

This entire 4-room resale HDB in Bishan was renovated at S$88,000—including full hacking, rewiring, built-in carpentry, false ceilings, plumbing, tiling, and storage-focused space planning.

But if you’re working with a smaller budget (say, S$45K–60K), there are still many smart ways to recreate this look—by focusing on high-impact areas like the living room, kitchen, or primary bedroom. Smart layout choices and tailored carpentry go a long way when your designer understands what daily life looks like for your household.

Because for us, “Design with Purpose. Renovate with Precision.” isn’t just a tagline. It’s how we help you avoid costly mistakes while building a space you’re proud to live in.

🧠 Design That Thinks for You, Not Just About You

  • Balance must-haves with your real budget
