Can I install a wall bed in a Hong Kong public rental flat?

Yes, with Housing Department permission. Wall beds are considered furniture, not structural alterations. You need to submit a Form LD to the Estate Office. We provide the form and help you fill it out.

Do HOS flats allow wall bed installation?

Yes. HOS (Home Ownership Scheme) flat owners have more freedom than rental tenants. Wall beds are permitted as they are furniture, not structural changes. No special permission needed for owner-occupied HOS flats.

Will a wall bed damage the wall in my public housing flat?

Our installation uses wall anchors that distribute weight across a wide area. When removed, the holes are small and easily patched. We provide a wall restoration guide for when you move out.

Wall Bed Public Housing Hong Kong — HOS & Rental Estate Guide 2026

Can you install a wall bed in HK public housing?

Yes. Wall beds are classified as furniture, not structural alterations. This means they are permitted in most Hong Kong public housing situations, including:

Public Rental Housing (PRH) — with Estate Office permission
Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) flats — no special permission needed for owners
Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership (GSF) — same as HOS
Tenants Purchase Scheme (TPS) flats — owner-occupied, no permission needed

Public Rental Housing (PRH) — How to Get Permission

For rental estates, you need to submit a modification request to your Estate Office:

Visit your Estate Management Office
Submit Form LD (Application for Installation of Fixtures/Fittings)
Describe the wall bed as "removable furniture fixture"
Include our installation method (wall anchors, no structural changes)
Approval typically takes 2-4 weeks

We provide the form pre-filled and include our installation specification letter at no charge.

Why Wall Beds Are Perfect for Public Housing

HK public housing flats are some of the smallest in the world:

1-person flat: 14-17 sqm (150-180 sqft)
2-person flat: 21-23 sqm (226-247 sqft)
3-person flat: 26-28 sqm (280-301 sqft)
4-person flat: 30-32 sqm (323-344 sqft)

In a 180 sqft flat, a single bed takes up 15 sqft — that's 8% of your entire home. A wall bed gives that back every day.

Wall Bed vs Other Space-Saving Options for Public Housing

Option	Space Saved	Comfort	HKD Cost	Permission Needed
Wall Bed	15-20 sqft/day	Excellent (real mattress)	From above HK$20,000	Form LD (rental)
Bunk Bed	Stacked only	Good	HK$2,000-8,000	No
Sofa Bed	0 sqft	Poor	HK$2,000-5,000	No
Floor Mattress	Must store daily	Poor	HK$500-2,000	No

Installation Considerations for Public Housing Walls

Public housing walls are typically 100-150mm thick concrete or plasterboard. Our installation team checks wall type before installation and uses appropriate anchors:

Concrete walls: Heavy-duty expansion anchors (standard)
Plasterboard walls: Toggle bolts spread across multiple studs
Brick walls: Sleeve anchors with load distribution plate

Moving Out? Wall Bed Removal

Removal service (HK$1,500-3,000 depending on size)
Wall patching guide (or we can do it for HK$800)
