5 lighting options for your BTO home: Where to buy lights in Singapore

Lighting isn't usually the top concern when purchasing a BTO home. After all, BTO homes tend to have pretty standard ceiling height, and there probably isn't enough room to hang a chandelier in the living room. 

For most of us, functional lighting that is bright enough to illuminate the space is all that we need. Yet, lighting can make a massive difference to every space - it can affect your mood and affect how you work. Especially as more and more of us are working from home, choosing the right light for your BTO home could mean a huge difference in your day-to-day life.

In this article, we’ll discuss some of the best lighting options that are well-suited for BTO units in Singapore.
