Design: Design Rebirth
Open-concept design or open-plan living is popular, especially in HDB flat homes and smaller homes, for its casual, laid-back feel and sense of spaciousness it brings.
Having one in a HDB flat involves removing non-structural internal walls, as well as smart reworking of a cookie-cutter space — you're restricted by columns, beams and a fixed layout. But to make the space look interesting and stylish, as after all everything is on show from all angles, a lot more thought into details and aesthetics is required.
Some ideas include replacing walls with glass panels, using half-height structures to zone space and incorporating multi-functional furniture and built-in structures.
Check out these trendy open-concept living spaces in these HDB flat homes, to get some inspiration!
