FAQs
Studio entertaining requires creativity due to limited space. Use folding furniture and multi-purpose items to accommodate guests. Consider the noise impact on neighbors in compact buildings. Overnight guests will need to sleep in your main living space, which affects your privacy. Plan gatherings during times when space can be reconfigured for socializing.
Usually yes, but it’s important to clarify the rules. Ask your landlord or flatmates about kitchen use: Can you cook full meals anytime or is it “light cooking only”? Also, check how fridge space is shared. Make sure you clean up after using the kitchen (wash your dishes, wipe the stove) as a courtesy. As long as everyone respects common areas, you should be able to use the kitchen and store your groceries in the fridge without issue.
Use room dividers, curtains, or tall furniture to create visual separation between sleeping, working, and living areas. Strategic lighting can create intimate spaces within the open plan. Consider a murphy bed or loft bed to maximize floor space during the day. Establish routines that give you psychological separation between work and rest time.
Compare price per square foot with similar units, factor in included utilities and amenities, and consider location convenience. A slightly higher rent might be worth it for better layout, natural light, or building facilities. Consider long-term costs like transportation and whether the space meets your actual needs.
Expect a quieter, more suburban lifestyle with potentially longer commutes to city centers. You'll have more space and privacy but fewer nearby amenities compared to HDB or condo living. The pace is generally slower, with more responsibility for property upkeep. Consider whether you prefer the space and tranquility over urban convenience and connectivity.
You can use a spare bedroom in many ways. It could be your home office or study, a guest room for visitors, or even a hobby room. Some people turn the extra room into a walk-in closet or extra storage. Essentially, it's bonus space you can adapt to your needs.
Master rooms typically consume more electricity due to larger space and ensuite bathroom usage. You'll likely run air-con longer, use more lighting, and the ensuite adds water heating costs. Discuss with housemates whether utility splitting accounts for room size differences or if everyone pays equally regardless of consumption.
Yes – condos strictly limit renovation noise to certain hours. Loud work (like drilling) is only allowed on weekday daytimes (no noisy construction at night or on Sundays). Any repairs or renovation you plan must also be scheduled within the allowed daytime hours.
