HDB style guide
Japandi for your HDB
Warm minimalism — Japanese restraint meets Scandi comfort.
Japandi blends Japanese restraint with Scandinavian comfort — warm timber, oat-white plaster, low-slung furniture and nothing that doesn't earn its place. In an HDB it reads as warmth without clutter, which is why it has become Singapore's most requested renovation style.
