HDB style guide

Traditional for your HDB

Timeless and warm — dark timber, classic detail, rich tones.

Classic traditional layers dark timber, brass and heritage details — think tufted headboards, encaustic tiles and a hint of Peranakan colour. It suits homeowners who want their HDB to feel established and storied rather than showroom-new.
