Amazing HDB 4-Room Interior Design Ideas in Singapore 2024
Designing a 4-room HDB in Singapore can be an exciting and interesting job. A 4-room HDB provides you with three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. The room sizes are bigger as compared to smaller HDBs, thus giving you more space to choose from different interior design ideas to create your dream home.
When designing your 4-room HDB, you will come across many different interior design themes and styles from which you can choose any style and incorporate it into your home. By adding your personal touches to the design, you can give it a unique personality and make it exquisitely beautiful and comfortable.
Here, we have compiled a few of our amazing HDB 4-room interior design portfolios that can give you inspiration on how you can also design your HDB in a fun and creative way so that it stands out due to its uniqueness, beauty, and elegance.

4-Room HDB Interior Design Ideas And Features
Here, we discuss some unique and fresh ideas that you can incorporate in your 4-room HDB and accentuate its appearance to create an elegant, unique, and welcoming home.
Dark, Wooden Interior Design
Black has always been the colour of beauty and elegance, whether you use it in interior design or in any fashion accessory. Choosing black or any other dark colour for the interior can instantly uplift its appearance and give the space an exotic look. Pairing this dark colour scheme with an elegant interior design theme like contemporary interior design style can create a stylish and elegant look for your 4-room HDB. Let’s see this concept in action in the following interior design portfolio designed by our amazing team.
The picture below shows a beautiful interior that is dominated by the black and dark colour scheme. The doors and woodwork are all black-coloured which defines the overall theme of the room. The dining table and chairs have black legs whereas a dark brown hue has been chosen for the tabletop. If you wish to add a bit of colour to such an interior, you may opt for fresh green plants that will add a pop of colour and make the space more welcoming and fresh.
Open Concept Layout with a Twist
In 4-rooms HDB interior design, you may opt for an open concept layout as it will provide you with an even more spacious outlook which can add to the overall aesthetics of the interior. An open-concept layout is one where there are no walls between the kitchen, dining, and living room. Thus, there is one big area which is further divided into the kitchen space, dining area, and living room according to the furniture and other related accessories. An open-concept layout helps greatly in creating a neatly organised, sophisticated space which you can then design according to your chosen interior design theme.
Here, we will discuss an open-concept kitchen and layout that has a creative touch to it. As shown in the following picture, the kitchen joins the dining area through a kitchen peninsula. However, instead of an open peninsula, its upper part comprises a glass partition that acts as a barrier between the kitchen and the dining space. What’s interesting is that the glass allows you to see through the other side while still providing a shield so any spillovers or stains do not travel to the other side. Alternatively, you can even choose full-length glass partitions in an open layout design to give the effect of openness but make the area soundproof.
The Rustic, Chic Interior
Another amazing interior design idea for a 4-room HDB in Singapore comprises a mix of elegance and rustic to create a beautifully unique space. A rustic interior may be a bit raw for some individuals, whereas for others, a contemporary and stylish interior may be a bit too cold. However, if you were to combine both of these design styles together, you can get a balanced mix of aesthetics where elegance will manifest from rustic elements and give a touch of nostalgia while the modern elements will add a touch of style in a cosy and comfortable space.
The following image shows what an interior might look like when you combine these two interior design styles. The overall colour theme is a light sandy hue that is visible in the wooden floors, carpentry, and a wooden ceiling panel. Lots of modern lighting fixtures like track lights, spotlights, and indirect lighting create a stylish and modern vibe in the room. However, then come the rustic elements. The woven table runner and the hanging jute ball lamp create a nostalgic feel in the space. The addition of plants and a cane table adds the perfect contrast to the modern sofa and lighting. The result is a highly chic, rustic interior that can wow anyone who enters your home.
The Platform Bedroom
When you are thinking about your HDB 4-room interior design, you have three bedrooms at your disposal which you can design in any particular design theme or style. You can even choose three different styles and themes for each of your bedrooms to add some versatility in your home. One way in which you can design your bedroom in a fun yet practical way is shown in the following portfolio image.
At first sight, the bedroom features a cool colour combination of pink, red, and wood. The wooden floor extends throughout the room where it takes the position of a platform. Instead of a separate frame for the bed, the mattress is placed directly on the platform to create a platform bed. This platform is further accentuated through warm accent lighting that highlights it. The wall behind the bed is a beautiful tea-pink shade. This wall is further enhanced through beautiful monochrome artwork depicting landscapes and monuments. The beautiful colour combination of pink, wood, and black with modern lighting creates a comfortable and elegant environment in the bedroom.

Unique Small Bedroom Idea
In case of a 4-room HDB, you normally have relatively bigger rooms for the bedroom; however, in case of a smaller room in that apartment, you may be looking for clever space-saving ideas so that it houses all the necessary essentials and still gives a spacious feel. The idea is to incorporate hidden storage areas so that you can store all the stuff in there and keep the other areas clean and organised.
An example of this concept can be seen in the following bedroom interior design where a small bedroom is shown that is quite functional and looks spacious. For the bed, there is a platform on which the mattress is placed. Underneath the mattress inside the platform is ample storage space where you can store all the necessary elements. This unique bedroom idea is perfect for a small bedroom in a 4-room HDB.
Home Office in the Living Room
Now let’s discuss an idea where we have incorporated a home office interior setup in the 4-room HDB interior design. Although there are three bedrooms in a 4-room HDB and you can convert one of them into a home office, there can be situations where all the bedrooms are designated as bedrooms, but still, you need a place where you can set up your laptop or computer with an office chair. Luckily, the living room of a 4-room HDB is big enough that you can create a small workspace there. This way, you still get a dedicated office space in addition to the three bedrooms in your home.
The following image shows how you can achieve this look. In the living room, dedicate a small corner for the study table and chair. Although such a setup can make it a bit difficult to focus solely on your work when there are distractions around, it still gives a viable option to set up a home office.
Clever Bedroom Storage Idea
This is no surprise that no matter how much storage you have in the bedroom, it is never enough. If you do not have a walk-in closet in your bedroom, then whatever cupboards you have in the bedroom will have to be shared among the residents. Therefore, the more cupboards you have, the better. However, a bedroom might not be big enough to house a lot of cupboards because you need space for the bed and bedside tables. In such a scenario, the following wardrobe design idea can be a lifesaver that allows you to have abundant storage while still ensuring that the space does not look cramped.
Consider the following picture of a bedroom where you can see a bed and a number of cupboards. What the designers have done intelligently is to use part of one cupboard to serve as the bedside table while the rest of it can be used for storage purposes. Therefore, with such a design, you save the space of an independent side table and utilise the vertical space to the maximum to provide you with ample storage without cramping up the place!
The Stylish, Chic Interior
In Singapore, contemporary and minimalist interior design styles have become quite popular in recent years. People often opt for them because of the elegance and style it offers in one’s home. Since HDB apartments are relatively smaller as compared to landed properties, it is a wise decision to choose such an interior design style that gives a spacious outlook and lets you achieve the interior of your dreams. A minimalist design theme does just that by using the bare essentials and keeping things similar. However, if you are a fan of style and elegance and want something else other than a minimalist aesthetic, then the following design idea is just the one for you.
In this 4-room HDB interior design portfolio, we can see a bedroom that boasts style and elegance like none other. The glossy tiled floor lets the light bounce off of it to create beautiful reflections. The room is simple yet trendy where a simple wooden bed and closet are the main furniture elements. On one side of the bedroom is the changing room that is the main attraction of this room. The cupboards all have mirrors on the doors that create a stylish ambience. These mirrors are further highlighted through track lights.
The Light, Pastel Scandinavian
The Scandinavian interior design theme has always been a favourite of homeowners in Singapore. The light, airy ambience that this style exudes is a refreshing sight for the eyes. The cool choice of colours, minimalism, and the use of light-coloured wood all work together to create a beautifully balanced interior that is uncluttered and sophisticated. Whether you choose this design style for the living room or the bedroom, it will always be a winner.
One application of this interior design style is to use a light pink colour as the main colour. Usually, a light beige, off-white, or cream colour is used in the Scandinavian design but if you want to get a little creative, try replacing it with a light pink colour and watch your interior transform into a cute and fun space. This can be shown in the following 4-room HDB kitchen design picture where a very light shade of pink is chosen for the kitchen cabinets.
The Powder Pink Washroom
Just like you would use a light pink colour for the kitchen of your 4-room HDB, you can even use such a shade for the bathroom as well. Often, we either use white or off-white for the bathroom or choose a darker shade like grey, brown, or black for the bathroom interior. But to give a light and refreshing ambience in the space, try opting for a light, pastel powder pink shade, and you will see a huge difference in the bathroom’s outlook.
As can be seen in the following toilet interior design portfolio, a light pink colour is used for the vanity cabinets and the overhead shelves. They are complemented with a white vanity top and white wall tiles. This colour palette creates a light and fun vibe in the space. However, the floors are black along with the metallic fixtures and door frames. This beautiful combination of pink, white, and black creates a highly sophisticated and stylish environment that can make your bathroom stand out.
The Role of Lighting in the Interior
The 4-room HDB BTO/Resale interior design most often involves the presence of a complex lighting system, which, in addition to its main purpose, perfectly decorates the space. As depicted in the following interior design image, various forms of modern lighting could be used to highlight different areas of the room. Moreover, the use of light as accents enhances the overall ambience in the room.
Room-By-Room Inspiration For 4-Room HDB Interior Design
Now let’s go through some inspirational 4-room HDB BTO interior design ideas by discussing various rooms in the house to see how a particular theme can be implemented in that room.
Living Room
A living room is the main area of the house where all the residents spend the most amount of time. Therefore, everyone likes to design it in the best possible way. Some useful tips for designing a living room include:
Keep the room bright and airy by allowing the natural sunlight to flow in through large windows.
Choose furniture according to the interior design theme selected.
Keep the area clutter-free for an elegant and organised look.
Add in wooden and natural elements as they go along well with almost all interior design themes.
Display some decorative elements but make sure not to go overboard so as to make the area appear a visual mess.
Add in some chandeliers and modern lighting if possible. For more inspiration, check these tips on how you can spruce up your living room interior design.
The following portfolio image from a 4-room HDB interior design shows how you can create a bright and airy living room in your home.

Kitchen
The kitchen is another important area of any home as it is where the magic of cooking happens. Moreover, modern kitchens, with their open-concept layouts not only serve as a kitchen but also as a communal place where family members can sit together and hold discussions on various topics. One of the most popular and functional 4-room resale HDB interior design ideas for a kitchen is to keep the open-concept layout and incorporate the same interior design theme and colour scheme as that of the living room. This way, the kitchen flows into the living room in a seamless transition and creates a balance of flow and functionality.
The following interior design portfolio depicts an open-concept kitchen that is both functional and elegant. For more kitchen renovation ideas, check out our guide on open-concept kitchens.

Bedroom
A bedroom is a place for night sleep and daytime rest. The main detail for a bedroom interior design is the bed, which should be comfortable. To create a cosy and calming atmosphere in a bedroom, the interior should be decorated in soothing colours conducive to falling asleep; blackout curtains should be hung on the windows so that the morning sun does not wake the sleeper too early. Depending on the size of the bedroom, you can place a dressing table or a chest of drawers, or if you have limited space, you can place a small study table on the bedside and use it as a bedside table as well. This can be seen in the following image of a bedroom of a 4-room HDB BTO interior design. A sleek and simple wardrobe stands on one side of the room. If you have a larger bedroom, you can choose from a variety of wardrobe designs according to your preferences.

Hallway
This is the area that your guests will notice first about your 4-room HDB flat interior design. Hence, make sure you design it in a stunning and attractive manner. Try to add some unique furnishings and attractive details in this area so as to give a warm and inviting ambience. As shown in the following picture of a 4-room HDB, the hallway comprises a rugged, wooden wardrobe that creates a balancing contrast with the shiny flooring. Chandeliers and modern lighting can further be used to enhance the interior.
