FAQs
Choose multi-functional furniture like a loft bed with desk underneath or storage ottomans. Use mirrors to create illusion of space and maximize natural light with light-colored curtains. Vertical storage solutions like wall-mounted shelves save floor space. Keep the room clutter-free and consider a small fan for better air circulation if the room feels stuffy.
Ventilation and sunlight can make a small room feel more comfortable and livable. Natural light makes the space feel more open and pleasant, and it can even improve your mood. See if it has a window that opens to outdoors (and not just into a corridor or airwell). Good ventilation and light are key for your daily comfort in that space.
1-bedroom units offer better entertaining space than studios with separate living areas. However, overnight guests may need to use a sofa bed in the living room. Consider the bathroom situation - ensure guests don't need to go through your bedroom to access facilities. The kitchen size may limit your ability to cook for larger groups.
Yes, a larger space usually means higher utility costs. In a 4-bedroom, you may run four or more aircon units plus more lights and devices, which adds up. More people/rooms also likely means more water usage. So expect to pay higher electricity and water bills than in a smaller unit. To manage costs, use AC and lights only when needed and choose energy-efficient appliances.
Yes. It should clearly state the monthly rent, the security deposit amount and conditions for return, what’s included in the rent (for example, are utilities or Wi-Fi covered?), the length of stay/notice period, and any specific house rules or restrictions. This protects both you and the landlord (or main tenant) by ensuring everyone knows the terms. Also, confirm that the landlord has approval to rent out the room (especially important in HDB flats, where there are rules on room rentals).
Lower floors offer easier access during elevator outages and lower utility costs, but may have noise from foot traffic, security concerns, and limited views. Higher floors provide better views, less noise, and more privacy, but depend on elevators and may have higher cooling costs. Mid-level floors (3rd-8th) often balance these factors well. Consider your mobility needs, noise tolerance, and whether views matter to your daily comfort.
Renovations are common in HDB estates, so occasional daytime drilling or hacking noise is normal. Work is only allowed during set hours, but it can still be disruptive if a nearby unit is being redone. Know that it’s temporary and typically accompanied by advance notice to residents.
A lot of 1-bedroom units have small bedrooms. A queen-size bed usually fits, but a king-size might be a tight squeeze. With a king, you might have little room left for bedside tables or a dresser. Always check the room dimensions beforehand to ensure you can still move around comfortably.
