Need ideas for your new HDB apartment? Take cue from these 10 four-room apartments that surprise us with what can be achieved design-wise!

1. Give a clean and timeless modern look a gritty spin with hues of black and grey. Sleek lines pull the look together, creating visual interest and cohesion.

Interior designer: KDOT Associates;
Location: McNair Road
Cost of renovation: $75,000

2. With a simple colour palette, add one or two pieces of furniture in a bright wash of colour, and your living space will look livelier immediately.

3. The plush sofa and fluffy rug in a rich shade of blue immediately draws our attention away from the white surroundings.

Interior designer: D'Initial Concept;
Location: Whampoa Dew
Cost of renovation: $30,000

4. Bring about a lighter and airier mood at home with lots of white! The touches of grey are the sprinkles on the cake, giving the apartment a polished and completed look.

Interior designer: Chapter One;
Location: Anchorvale Crescent
Cost of renovation: $39,000

5. The brooding mood of this industrial-style apartment is evocative of a swanky underground pub, but also allows you the freedom to indulge your love for toys and collectible figurines.

Interior designer: 82;
Location: Toa Payoh Crest
Cost of renovation: $70,000

6. To create an illusion of bigger space, do away with walls or partitions and play around with funky floor tiles or flooring designs to create a visual demarcation instead.

Interior designer: DB Studio;
Location: Anchorvale Crescent

7. Integrate big, leafy potted plants and faux animal skin rugs around the house for a lushness of the jungle.

Interior designer: Free Space Intent;
Location: Tampines GreenForest
Cost of renovation: $58,000

8. Play elongated spaces to your advantage by keeping the furnishings sparse and down to the bare minimum, so that the area is always simple and clean.

Interior designer: UNO Interior;
Location: Punggol Walk
Cost of renovation: $48,000

9. House your comic books and character figurines in a bookshelf that cleverly acts as a partition separating the bed from the work area for an apartment that is creative yet playful.

Interior designer: AD. I. WRKS;
Location: Telok Blangah Heights
Cost of renovation: $60,000

10. This apartment is at once both homely and comforting, yet pleasantly surprising with an attention-grabbing mustard yellow wall in the dining area.

Interior designer: Charlotte's Carpentry;
Location: Ang Mo Kio
Cost of renovation: $39,000
