Bedroom Renovation Guide: Wardrobes, Platform Beds, and Smart Storage Solutions

Wardrobe Options and Costs Freestanding Wardrobe: S$300 to S$1,500 (IKEA or local retailers). Flexible and moveable but wastes vertical space and looks less refined. Built-In Wardrobe (floor-to-ceiling): S$1,800 to S$4,500 per wardrobe. Custom-fitted to your room dimensions. Maximises storage by using full ceiling height. Plywood with laminate finish is the standard. Walk-In Wardrobe (master bedroom): S$5,000 to S$12,000. Requires dedicated space (at least 3 sqm) but creates a luxurious, organised dressing area. Platform Bed Designs Platform beds are incredibly popular in Singapore HDB renovations because they combine the bed frame, mattress base, and storage in one piece. A standard platform bed with 3 to 4 pull-out drawers costs S$2,500 to S$5,000. Hydraulic lift platforms that reveal a large storage compartment underneath cost S$3,500 to S$6,500. Full tatami-style raised platforms (Japanese-inspired, 30 to 50cm high, covering the entire room floor) cost S$4,000 to S$8,000. Bedroom Lighting Tips Avoid harsh overhead lighting in bedrooms. Instead, use warm cove lighting around the ceiling perimeter for ambient glow, bedside wall-mounted reading lights or pendant lights to free up bedside table space, and dimmer switches or smart lighting to adjust mood. A bedroom should be the most restful room in your home. Lighting at 2700K and below supports relaxation and better sleep.
