With prices rising across the board—yes, we’re talking about you, supermarkets—it’s no wonder that your renovation budget might be tighter this year. If you’re the owner of a 5-room BTO, the added space and typical blank canvas could mean you’re looking at spending around $65K or more. We want to keep it real, so we’ve compiled a selection of stylish 5-room BTO renovations, showcasing a variety of interior design styles, all completed for under $80K. While these options may not be the most budget-friendly, they demonstrate that it’s possible to create a beautiful and functional home without breaking the bank.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>1. Ryokan Revolution</h3><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/801;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/ceddd4d4-0cc9-485f-ba1a-d8dda8650c12-blob" width="1200" height="801"></figure>Where: TengahBudget: $50KInterior designer: R InteriorStyle: Feels like a practical, modern ryokan, blending charming traditional Japanese design with the sleek, functional style of Muji.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/801;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/7f413ac8-b2a3-460f-bc89-5aba6e9d4a3a-blob" width="1200" height="801"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/801;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/459bf81f-9d70-4cb2-a38b-077723e9dbdb-blob" width="1200" height="801"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/801;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/c2a2c866-7520-43e3-96bf-b13646a1a5ef-blob" width="1200" height="801"></figure>How to do it yourself: If you're looking to give your 5-room BTO that cosy ryokan vibe you fell in love with during your last trip to Japan, you might need to rethink your renovation budget a bit. But there are ways to achieve that look without breaking the bank. Focus on incorporating a few key elements that capture the essence of a ryokan, and let your choice of laminates and furnishings handle the rest.&nbsp;For instance, this home features a circle cut-out in the foyer and a shoji screen sliding door that opens up to the private areas, perfectly evoking that ryokan feel. As for the rest of the space, keep it minimalist and functional with Muji-style furnishings, paired with light wood tones and crisp whites.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/801;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/79092413-ced0-4e3f-b1a4-90c452f6ba68-blob" width="1200" height="801"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/801;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/c9ac4d45-026c-4dc8-92fc-1efc1d755472-blob" width="1200" height="801"></figure>&nbsp;<h3>2. Serene Sanctuary</h3><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/676;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/85412e61-433b-40a5-a098-35543d56c1bb-blob" width="1200" height="676"></figure>Where: Toa PayohBudget: $56KInterior designer: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/weiken.com">Weiken</a>Style: If Aesop were a home. It gives you the impression of being surrounded by serene sand dunes, featuring soft sandy tones and gentle, flowing curves.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/676;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/a490989a-5b38-49d0-bfdb-116780fb397c-blob" width="1200" height="676"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/a9ea405c-5fab-4d46-b388-fe2712f81542-blob" width="1200" height="1200"></figure>How to do it yourself: This relatively minimalist home speaks volumes despite its pared-back palette and no-frills approach. The key is to create a consistent story (furnishings choice, colour scheme) and to incorporate details that make a bigger impact like their eye-catching false ceiling with concealed lighting that seem to draw your eye all the way from the top to the living room feature wall.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/8d2f92b7-1374-48f0-bc6a-ec236b5697d7-blob" width="1200" height="1200"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/4ee20f2b-92ba-43b0-a4cd-fb286b61c4c1-blob" width="1200" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;<h3>3. Farmhouse Fever</h3><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/801;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/65794b53-ecb0-471e-be12-fc9cda4e0298-blob" width="1200" height="801"></figure>Where: Jurong WestBudget: $60KInterior designer: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/ecasa-studio">ECasa Studio</a>Style: A comforting modern farmhouse, with plenty of wood juxtaposed alongside creams and warm beiges.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:801/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/a607c356-fffd-46f5-8ed8-fbf69bc588f7-blob" width="801" height="1200"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/3e64fb57-e392-453d-b724-124b4ee20db3-blob" width="800" height="1200"></figure>How to do it yourself: The kitchen is really the key to the modern farmhouse look, so if you’re planning to go for this style, it pays to set aside more of your renovation budget for that space. Here, they created impact and shelled moolah with a barn-style door and a kitchen window, but kept the inside of the kitchen relatively simple without any upper cabinets. Instead, a long shelf runs the length of the cooking space, helping to add some extra storage whilst also adding visual length to the space.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:801/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/9f715f15-cf01-4711-82dc-4231878400fb-blob" width="801" height="1200"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/f6b0e7e5-e8a7-467f-a7fa-600d7506ae26-blob" width="800" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;<h3>4. Pretty Personal</h3><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/f2f303fe-0d29-4889-81a7-9f67e6f57fe3-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>Where: TengahBudget: $70KInterior designer: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/le-interior-affairs">Le Interior Affairs</a>Style: Contemporary, with a timeless scheme of neutrals that leans toward darker, more masculine shades, and all made homey with warm lighting and personalised touches.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/8192249b-c8b5-44e2-9a32-0c5edde9422c-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/b949edd2-af84-447c-b637-d77733a563d0-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>How to do it yourself: When in doubt, stick to neutrals is what we say. This home blends a number of them for interest, going with taupe and cream walls and floorings, while keeping the blacks as accents. This is a great way to make things look a bit more sophisticated. The homeowners’ collectibles act as focal points in the space, like the LEGO wall and display cabinet, which means there’s no need to come up with a complicated feature design—those can get pricey. Plus, you get to add that personal touch to your space. Total win.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/39d52deb-fde1-419d-ba3c-2e153c85a07d-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/c0ceb2bc-d8a2-47c3-8d8b-3f85cebca1d4-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/21744baf-1457-4d81-908f-d801b37d9d92-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;<h3>5.

In the kitchen, a rounded cabinet joined together with a mobile kitchen island was built to hide a wall column, while the foyer cabinets were intended to keep the DB box and bomb shelter out of sight. Curves built into the carpentry work and on the kitchen’s ceiling offers a smoother transition as you move from zone to zone in the open layout, and they make a great impact without the pretty penny.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/798;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/128135cd-e8a9-4d89-9f6d-d62095a7f67b-blob" width="1200" height="798"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/798;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/43715952-a5af-4ea2-b934-74f04395899d-blob" width="1200" height="798"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/798;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/47668c77-6cf4-451a-8484-8010bfb36c56-blob" width="1200" height="798"></figure>&nbsp;<blockquote>Searching for an interior designer for your new home?

A lot of whites are used for the base, but the bulk of the carpentry is very much a deeper walnut tone. And then there’s those gorgeous set of dark green cabinets, in shaker style for added detail and set against a matching marble-grain backsplash and countertop. Some of the built-ins are multipurpose too, which is not only great for saving space, but also helps to manage costs as well.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:799/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/c3909ff4-059f-4059-a6f7-208e608f3ca3-blob" width="799" height="1200"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/799;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/73ed7a31-46cc-4997-9e2f-efffa9ce12d6-blob" width="1200" height="799"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/799;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/c711a99b-816f-4d7c-bc8e-03ba086e291b-blob" width="1200" height="799"></figure>&nbsp;<h3>7.

Walls? Go with limewash or textured paint if you can. It really adds a nice wabi-sabi character to the space. Do it on one wall to save a bit, and paint the rest of the walls in similar hues. Stark contrasts are a great tool to employ for a Japandi home since Scandinavian and traditional Japanese style are two relatively contrasting moods. For instance, dark furnishings, light walls or dark bottom cabinets, light upper cabinets.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:801/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/c9be4dbf-8bad-4dd7-82b2-b7bcbfbd59b0-blob" width="801" height="1200"></figure>
