Interior Designer Reviews

We engaged Joleen for her services as she could easily capture our idea during our initial dicussion. Joleen could always provide us with helpful advice and help whenever we shared our concerns. She also shared many recommendations for things that we were unsure of. It is easy for us to share any findings with her and made many changes during the carpentry phase as she always promptly took care of the rectifications and our requests to make sure all the works were done to our satisfaction. Most importantly, we are delighted to be able to move into our beautiful home!

Definitely recommending Ian Loh from Visionary Interior based on his experience to share his point of view on our design. He has always responded almost immediately for any concerns regarding design and has made efforts to keep us updated on the progress. He will follow with us every few days on our decision and will not hesitate to provide additional quotation and layout for your review based on his and our idea

We decided to engage this ID as he gave us a very good first impression. He was very organised and systematic. Also there were many good reviews about the company on google and Qanvast. However, things started going downhill when reno started. Engaging this ID firm has been one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences I've had. ID showed a lack of professionalism and responsibility. There was almost no proper supervision of the renovation works, which meant homeowner, had to constantly be on-site to coordinate with subcontractors — something that should have been the ID’s job. The ID was frequently uncontactable, often going MIA for days with no updates or progress about work done. When I did manage to reach them, responses were vague and unhelpful. Several key renovation tasks were delayed or done poorly due to this lack of oversight. Workmanship was below standard, and I had to request multiple rectifications for issues that should have been caught early. After 2 months, all the issues were not even fixed. Subcon damaged the carpentry laminate but used silicon to cover up as if nothing happened as we mentioned a lot of times about the silicon, it was when the electrician came to adjust things and removed the silicon when they found out about the damaged laminate on our island. Besides that, there were a lot of peel off/broken PVC. Contacted the boss and he told us that these are inevitable. They did not even bother fixing it and keep dragging and delaying. Also, what was worse is that one day we found out we could not access the unit as someone deliberately changed our lock. On top of that, communication was inconsistent, deadlines were missed repeatedly, and there was little to no accountability when things went wrong. What should have been an exciting and smooth renovation journey turned into a stressful, drawn-out nightmare. I would not recommend this ID firm to anyone looking for a reliable and professional renovation experience. The lack of proper project management, quality control, and client service was simply unacceptable.

I recently engaged Craftmakers for the renovation of my 2 bedrooms, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The team was professional, attentive, and truly understood my family's needs. A special shout-out to Cherrie, who provided invaluable advice on colors, materials, and design choices. Her expertise helped us achieve the look we wanted without overspending, she's both knowledgeable and budget-conscious! Vaness was another standout. His 3D drawings were very detailed and made discussions so much more efficient. His visuals gave my whole familya clear idea of the final design, eliminating any guesswork. He was also highly responsive, keeping us updated on progress and promptly addressing all our queries. Overall, Craftmakers delivered a seamless and stress-free experience. I'm extremely satisfied with their work and wouldn't hesitate to engage them again for future projects. Highly recommended!

Engaged with Darwin Interior through Qanvast and to be honest, my expectation was the least amongst all my other shortlisted IDs. However after the first consultation, Darwin Interior became one of my top considerations. Pros: 1. Price point of view, Darwin comes up top especially when there are carpentry works to be done as i believe they have their in house carpentry workshop significantly reducing cost. 2. IDs have good working knowledge and I believe they have an internal support structure to clarify queries amongst themselves. 3. Workmanship is good. Not many defects which needed to be corrected. 4. Schedule was on time and there were no delays. Cons: 1. Project coordination from ID may not be extensive. Internal workers or partnered contractors are arranged for works but occasional checking in is required from owner just to ensure works are progressing as expected. 2. Design suggestions have to be thought out clearly as the IDs may not pay attention to every detail. Thus owner input and feedback during 3D renders is very important. In my reno project experience, my initial ID (not naming as he left) resigned and was replaced with another ID before the works were started due to longer than expected wait for BTO keys. Once again I was skeptical but the replacement ID (Lucas Pe) proved knowledgeable. Personally I feel the reno experience is highly tied to the ID and not the firm. In my opinion, you can go with Darwin Interior for a guaranteed lower cost without compromising quality. However, more project involvement is required from owner's end to ensure everything is done as per your expectations. Although it required more effort, I was happy to be more involved as I enjoy this type of experience. I can't speak for others but you can consider Lucas Pe if considering Darwin Interior.

I had a really good experience with Kenneth and James for my 3-room HDB home renovation. They were easy to work with, listened to what I wanted, and gave useful suggestions along the way. The whole process was smooth, and they handled everything well from start to finish. I’m very happy with how my home turned out – it’s comfortable, practical, and looks great. Thanks again for all the effort and care you put into the project!

Allen is a very responsible ID. He responds quickly, is friendly and easy to talk to and tries his best to make renovation arrangements to fit your schedule. Workmanship is excellent and price is reasonable. He also carries a wealth of experience with 14 years track record in this industry. We have engaged him for 4 times to help with our renovation work, and he always delivers quality results. Highly recommended!

We have engaged David of Weiken to renovate our HDB BTO flat, and the entire experience of working with him overwhelmingly exceeded our initial expectations. With each consultation in the beginning, David gave us the confidence to entrust him with the job of building our dream home. His professionalism, experience, transparency and attention to detail were outstanding. David was attentive to our preferences and lifestyle needs, proposing smart practical and space-saving ideas and combining them with a design concept that strikes a balance between aesthetics and functionality. David was meticulous in selecting materials and insightful in the selection and combination of colour tones that complemented the theme of the house. During the renovation process, we were updated regularly on the progress, and any concerns that we had were addressed promptly and professionally. David was also able to coordinate seamlessly with the other contractors such that the whole renovation process was a breeze!

I came across T&T Design Artisan through their Qanvast profile and glowing reviews, which led me to engage them for my renovation. I was assigned Judy as my designer, and I’m very glad I made that choice. From the start, Judy took the time to understand my style and preferences. She paid close attention to the overall colour scheme and offered thoughtful suggestions that balanced aesthetics with practicality, all within a reasonable budget. Despite a few unexpected challenges during the renovation, Judy was always proactive. She regularly update on the progress, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. I'm extremely pleased with the final result and impressed by the quality of work. I highly recommend Judy Ho and T&T Design Artisan to anyone seeking a reliable and creative interior designer.

We’re grateful with the work of our interior designer, Mr Xiang Wei from Sky Creation. Although there were some hiccups during the renovation process, but he was quick to sort things out efficiently and with professionalism. Thanks for his support, responsiveness, and dedication throughout the whole project. His commitment to ensuring a smooth and successful outcome is greatly appreciated.

After our first two meetings with Joleen, we could tell that she was able to understand our ideas well as her moodboards and helpful suggestions matched our concept. We decided to start our renovation after Lunar New Year while we were still overseas, Joleen was professional in managing the project and provided progress of the work to keep us well informed. The tiling phase took some time due to major work required. The carpentry stage was completed without much delay despite multiple changes to our original draft to meet our needs. Throughout the renovation journey, communication with Joleen was efficient as she would listen to all of our new ideas and issues and provided her opinions and solutions to resolve our concerns swiftly. Overall, we are happy to live in our cosy new home, thanks to Joleen!

We are first time homeowner looking for a trustworthy ID to work with. Met Kent and Justina from Niche Koncept Design Group. Very happy with their design and service. They are able to come up with different ideas every time we are met with obstacles for the designs we initially wanted. They will also constantly update us on the work progress to make sure we are in the loop of what’s happening. If you’re looking for an ID for your new home do look for Kent and Justina!
