Argento Walnut Laminate Bedroom Door in Singapore by Ho Ho

🧱 Introduction

Choosing a new bedroom door for your HDB flat isn’t just about looks — it's also about making sure the door fits well, swings the right way, and complements your home’s interior style. With so many options available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

At Ho Ho, we’ve installed thousands of room doors across Singapore, and we know exactly what to consider before you commit. Here are our top professional tips to help you choose the right bedroom door for your HDB home.

🚪 1. Understand Your HDB Layout & Door Swing Direction

Before picking a door, take note of how much space you have inside and outside the room. In most HDB bedrooms:

Doors open inward toward the room.
Avoid blocking furniture, wardrobes, or switches.
In tighter layouts, consider whether a left-swing or right-swing door is more practical.

💡 Pro Tip: Our team will confirm swing direction during onsite measurement to ensure perfect fit and functionality.

🎨 2. Coordinate Door Color with Room Theme

Your bedroom door plays a major role in the overall aesthetic. Match or contrast your door with:

Wall colors
Flooring finishes
Wardrobe or built-in cabinet laminates

Popular choices among HDB homeowners include:

Nordic Ash or Glacier White – for Muji or minimalist rooms
Rustic Khaki or Honey Teak – for warm, cozy spaces
Concrete Finish – for modern, industrial vibes

🛠 3. Choose the Right Core Material for Your Needs

Depending on your room use and budget, select a door core that fits:

Eco Core: Great for light-use rooms and rental units (from $250)
Timber Core: Ideal for master bedrooms or sound-sensitive spaces (from $319)

Both come with factory-installed locksets, magnetic stoppers, and installation included.

📐 4. Don’t Forget Door Dimensions & Clearance

HDB bedroom doors typically measure around 3ft x 7ft, but older flats or customized spaces may vary. We offer free onsite measurement upon project confirmation to ensure accuracy.

If your space is narrow or limited, our team may recommend a double-leaf or swing-slide configuration to suit your layout.
