HDB flats in Singapore are typically small, but that doesn't mean one can't go big on style.

S$85,000 HDB renovation

On Oct. 9, interior design firm Fatema Design Studio shared one of their works on their Facebook page.

The full home renovation cost S$85,000.

Here's a quick look at the living room:

And this was what it looked like before the renovation works:

Moroccan-inspired tiles

Here's a close up of the kitchen, with a marble kitchen island.

And here's the bathroom.

The bathroom has a feature wall with Moroccan-inspired tiles.

Hidden bedroom doors

Now, you may be asking: Where are the rooms?

The rooms are actually well-hidden thanks to the doors that are designed to look just like the ridged walls.

Now you see it...

... Now you don't.

And here's a look inside one of the bedrooms:

HDB recess area turned walkway

The most interesting part of the flat, however, is the walkway into the house.

The walkway, which is also decorated with Moroccan-inspired tiles, was previously a common recess area.

This is what it looked like before:

It is, in fact, possible for a homeowner to purchase the recess area of their house.

According to HDB, the purchase price of a four-square metre recess area outside a typical three-room flat would cost S$6,800.

In total, HDB estimates that the total cost for that recess area amounts to S$7,297.30 after factoring the other fees.

Cool.
