In Singapore’s compact urban homes, the entryway is more than a pass-through—it’s the first impression of your lifestyle, a functional hub for keys, shoes, and daily essentials, and a barrier against tropical humidity. Off-the-shelf entryway cabinets often fail to fit tight spaces or withstand Singapore’s climate. That’s where made to measure entryway cabinets from MRETTY come in: we craft bespoke solutions that blend luxury, durability, and hyper-local relevance for discerning Singapore homeowners. As a top-tier custom furniture brand, we combine ENF-grade materials, Italian design, and decades of local craftsmanship to redefine your entry experience.
Why Made to Measure Entryway Cabinets Matter in Singapore
Singapore’s average home size hovers around 800 sq ft, meaning every square centimeter counts. Generic entryway cabinets either overwhelm small foyers or leave wasted space. Made to measure entryway cabinets solve this by:
-
Maximizing Space: Tailored dimensions fit awkward corners or narrow hallways (common in HDB flats and condos).
-
Withstanding Humidity: Engineered wood and protective finishes resist warping—critical in a climate with 80% average relative humidity.
-
Reflecting Your Style: From minimalist matte oak to bold walnut veneers, custom designs match your home’s aesthetic.
MRETTY’s focus on precisionensures your entryway cabinet isn’t just storage—it’s a statement piece that works as hard as it looks good.
5-Step Guide to Designing Your Perfect Made to Measure Entryway Cabinet
Creating a functional, beautiful made to measure entryway cabinet requires collaboration. MRETTY’s process takes the guesswork out:
1. Measure & Audit Your Entryway Layout
Our designers use laser tools to map your space, noting door swings, light switches, and existing fixtures. For HDB BTO flats with sloped ceilings, we adjust cabinet heights to avoid clashes. This step ensures no detail is overlooked—critical for small Singaporean homes.
2. Prioritize Functionality: What Do You Need to Store?
Do you have kids’ shoes to corral? A place for umbrellas? We categorize your needs into “must-haves” (e.g., shoe racks) and “nice-to-haves” (e.g., pull-out trays for keys). Most Singaporean clients opt for:
-
Built-in shoe storage (deep drawers prevent scuffing).
-
Hidden key holders (no more lost keys!).
-
Open shelving for decor (adds personality).
3. Choose Materials & Finishes for Singapore’s Climate
MRETTY uses ENF-grade oriented strand board (OSB)—FSC-certified, formaldehyde-free, and moisture-resistant. For finishes, we recommend:
-
Matte Lacquer: Resists fingerprints (perfect for busy families).
-
Wood Veneer: Adds warmth without the maintenance of solid wood.
Avoid low-grade particleboard—even with a coat of paint, it will swell in humidity.
4. Customize Hardware & Design Details
Small touches make a big difference. MRETTY offers:
-
Hidden Hinges: Sleek, durable, and easy to clean.
-
25mm-Thick Doors: Thicker than industry standard (18-20mm) for a luxury feel and better weight resistance.
-
J-Shape Grooves: Functional for hanging towels or scarves—adds a spa-like vibe to your entry.
5. Approve 3D Mockups & Finalize
We send free, photorealistic 3D renderings so you can visualize your cabinet in your space. Once approved, we use anti-scratch film during production to protect surfaces—no surprises on installation day.

Real Singaporean Home: How Ms. Tan Transformed Her Condo Entryway
Meet Ms. Tan, a mother of two living in a 4-room HDB flat in Bishan. Her entryway was a mess: shoes piled up, keys lost daily, and a bulky off-the-shelf cabinet that blocked half the hallway.
MRETTY’s Solution:
-
Layout: A slim, 80cm-wide cabinet that fits next to the lift lobby door.
-
Storage: Deep drawers for shoes, a pull-out tray for keys, and open shelving for her kids’ artwork.
-
Materials: ENF OSB core with E0 matte lacquer (resists smudges from little hands).
-
Design: Hidden hinges and 25mm-thick walnut veneer doors—sleek enough for her modern home.
Result: “The cabinet looks like it was always there,” Ms. Tan says. “No more tripping hazards, and my kids can put away their shoes themselves. MRETTY didn’t just build a cabinet—they fixed my daily stress.”
Exclusive MRETTY Features for Your Singapore Entryway
What makes our made to measure entryway cabinets stand out? Our proprietary innovations solve pain points most brands ignore:
1. ENF-Grade OSB: Safe, Sustainable, Strong
All our cores are FSC-certified, ensuring no harmful chemicals leach into your home. ENF-grade material has 0.025mg/m³ formaldehyde—way below Singapore’s national limit (0.08mg/m³).
2. Aviation Aluminum Honeycomb: Light Yet Unshakable
Traditional wooden frames sag over time, especially with heavy shoe collections. Our aluminum honeycomb structure distributes weight evenly—your cabinet will stay straight for decades.
3. E0 Water-Based Paint: Waterproof & Scratch-Resistant
Five base coats and three top coats create a barrier against spills (hello, rainy days!) and scuffs. Unlike oil-based paints, E0 is low-VOC—safe for kids and pets.
4. 25mm-Thick Doors: Luxury You Can Feel
Thicker doors add depth and durability. Pair with hidden hinges, and you get a seamless look that screams “high-end.”
