HDB style guide
Wabi-Sabi for your HDB
Imperfect, earthy, serene — texture over polish.
Wabi-sabi is warm minimalism with a soul: lime-plaster walls, raw timber, handmade ceramics and the beauty of imperfect, natural surfaces. In an HDB it creates an almost meditative calm — the antidote to a busy city life.
