I engaged Kent to renovate my resale condo for me. PROS: The design Kent made matched what I wanted for my place - warm and homey feel. Kent was very patient and helpful when I made my many various random requests and changes of mind, sometimes very late at night. He is extremely fast in replying text. He also helped to coordinate the delivery of all my items which was great. Overall, Kent and his team was very friendly and accommodating (esp Xavier). CONS: I had to find and purchase the furnitures and lights myself though, which I didn’t enjoy because it took up a lot of time and I’m the kind that has a hard time deciding on things. Also, there were some issues and problems after I moved in which irritated me but Kent promised that he would fix those so all’s cool.

We worked with Lesley for our 4-room BTO flat renovation. The theme was Scandinavian and we had the basic renovation. We decided to go with Lesley after meeting with a few IDs given her attention to detail and good communication. For instance, during our 2nd meeting, she remembered our requests and design and came prepared with floorplan designs, a sharp contrast with another ID from a different company whom we shortlisted who needed us to remind him what we wanted. During the conceptualisation stage, she gave inputs and suggestions to what we wanted. Before renovwtion started, she accompanied us to pick tiles and provided us with suggestions and help to narrow our options. During the renovation stage, she was responsible and responsive - where there were defects and issues, she was able to address these problems; when we needed her onside to help receive items or monitor installation, she was present. Unlike some of the horror stories we'd heard about hidden charges or sudden fees, we did not encounter this at all. Overall, we are pleased with the experience and the end result.

Yang Hann was the first interior designer we spoke to. Even though we spoke to a couple more interior designers afterward, we found ourselves drawn to Yang Hann. The initial consultation with him was simple and concise. When we met Yang Hann about a month later, he was the only designer who not only got back to us promptly but also remembered all the little details we had requested. Throughout the renovation, we grew fond of Yang Hann. He truly understood us and knew that we were particular about neatness and precision, in other words, "OCD." He got what we wanted right from the onset. He would remind us that our decision would lead to a non-symmetrical cabinet and even went to the extent of telling us that we might be able to see a screw on the inside of the cabinet. We were not planning to peer into the cabinet to find screws, but it's Yang Hann's thoughtfulness and meticulousness that amazed us time and again. Yang Hann was also very patient and has to be the most responsive Interior Designer ever. We often hear stories from our friends about designers being unresponsive, but Yang Hann is an exception. He never fails to reply to us, even late at night or on Sundays. He also goes the extra mile to help fix up our home, even when he has handed the place over to us. When there are rectifications required, he communicates, takes up the responsibility, and sees it through to the end for us. Not only that, he was also very involved in our renovation and would visit the house frequently to check on the progress amid his busy schedule. Whenever we have a challenging request, he does not shrug it off, but he thinks it through and gives us innovative and practical solutions. He is also sharp and has the foresight to pinpoint when an idea is not feasible. We are proud that there are so many thoughtful details behind the design of our house, and it's only possible because of Yang Hann's knowledge and the experience he brings with him. Yang Hann specially selects the contractors he works with, and we are very pleased with the workmanship. I'm glad to say my husband and I are probably one in a million who had such a pleasant renovation journey, which is the envy of our friends. We often tell each other that if we are ever getting a new home, we will go back to Yang Hann in a heartbeat. Thank you, Yang Hann, for the lovely renovation journey and for creating a dream home with us. We are so glad our paths crossed. Thank you for being such a wonderful team mate and friend.
