Collecting your BTO keys is one of the biggest leaps of faith you can take as a couple in Singapore.
But it’s also just the first step in a long journey as a new homeowner. Filling your flat to make it truly a home is a process that takes immense patience, money & sheer hard work.
That doesn’t mean you’re on your own, however. Besides relying on bae’s input, there are plenty of other couples facing the same sofa or smart TV screen decisions as you.
Enter COURTS’ sale for new homeowners to ‘group buy’ BTO essentials till 13 Sep.
If you’re in the market for a new sofa or Nespresso machine, here’s how you can cart out more savings simply by jio-ing another couple for the ride.
With an extensive catalogue of items lined up for a showroom shopping session IRL, expect a clean sweep of toaster ovens, bedroom & living deals from $5.
If you’re looking for a spare pillow to hug while you Work-From-Home, this budget $5 Sleep Clinic’s Polyester Pillow will definitely be a steal.
Single mattress prices also start from $65 — a backup bed if you need a little space from bae after a fight, or are looking for something to let your kiddos rest easy.
Getting a second opinion on big ticket items is definitely an essential cost-saving habit we should foster.
But you may not be dating your significant other for their taste in selecting toaster ovens. That’s what your BFFs are for.

Now that you’ve kitted out your smart starter HDB flat, let’s move into the heart of every home — the dining room.

Since most young families don’t need a big dining table – you may want to consider getting an extendable version – especially when the third kid comes along.

Though the ‘Circuit Breaker’ was a real bummer, we’ve gotten creative with how we’ve spent our time holed up in our man caves — or woman caves.
We couldn’t catch Marvel movies in theatres, so we settled for DIY home cinemas with freshly microwaved popcorn or transformed our kitchen countertops into professional muffin stands.
These new post-CB hobbies have brought a paradigm shift in the way we conceptualise our BTO living spaces.
Shuttling between our home & office working spaces in the near future will be our new normal — and our home cinemas, gaming nooks & Circuit Baker kitchens will be great places to make memories with our loved ones in 2021.
