127 A multi-purpose trolley table is easy to move around to make space for extra walking room. Alternatively, a side table with rimmed edges rather than a proper coffee table will also work well in a compact three-room HDB flat unit. Living Large The communal zone in a 3-room flat may be Polly Pocket sized, but it can still be stylish and functional with the right game plan. And that’s making your apartment look bigger than it really is. Keep furniture pieces compact and preferably low-slung, and pare down to only the essentials – like a sofa. If you’re one who entertains regularly, outfit it with an ottoman or foldable chairs that can be kept away until the next guest pops by. A regular coffee table might not fit into your narrow interior; instead, opt for a petite end table that can be shuffled around easily. To avoid space wastage, arrange your furniture flushed against the wall or fit a basket in neglected corners for stashing stuff away.
