There were a couple of times, people wants to use 3 different colours in a room, so the price of the quotation will increase. If you are the one looking for few colours in your room, most properly you want to have some art on your walls. I will highly recommend doing mural wall painting instead.

Interior Painting Cost – HDB Type
As most of Singaporeans live in HBD flats (around 90%), we decided to go into HDB topic first. A lot of inquiries come from our past customers asking about the cost for painting their HDB home. I guess you are one of them, if not you will not be reading this now.
Generally, Singapore HDB flats are measured in square meter or square feet, depending on how many rooms you have. Here is the breakdown on the cost range of HDB flats:
- 3 Room HDB : Sing$600 ~ 800
- 4 Room HDB : Sing$700 ~ 950
- 5 Room HDB : Sing$950 ~ 1,200
As the above are the general types of rooms, an average Singaporean will live in. If you have a different type of HDB flat that needs painting, we do provide a free no obligation session. Click Here For Quotation Session.
Why is there a price range in every HDB category? Below are the breakdowns of the reason:
- Different Price For Different Types Of Paint – We use Nippon “Matex” for homes, “Matex” cost around Sing$20 ~ 25, whereas the other types of paint like “Odorless”, “Easy Wash with Teflon”, etc, will have at least Sing$65 and above. The difference of price is dependent on your choice of paint types.
- Newer Flats Tend To Be Smaller, Older Flats Tend To Be Bigger – As you realise that the older flats are much bigger than the newer ones. At one time, my friend who lived in a newer flat came to my house (older flat) using the toilet, commented that my toilets are much bigger than his. By the way, the new HDB flat designs are based on Hong Kong style.
To be fair to all, we will always send someone to your house for quotation. Its free and no obligation on your side, all we need from you is to confirm the date for the quotation session.
