Interior Designer Reviews

I must preface this to say that we didn’t sign with El Arte but we really wanted to leave a review for the excellent ID we met and worked with - Rebecca. We met Rebecca over the course of about 5 wks, and had numerous meetings with her. From the get go, she was considerate of the fact that we were still overseas, and tried her best to fit our time. She also came fully prepared, with ideas, suggestions, and even drew up 2-3 options for us - something that very few other IDs did (in the end we met close to 15). Rebecca was heard our needs/lifestyle, and Came up with ideas/suggestions that showed she truly thought from our perspective. She also came up with very cool ideas that worked with our less than ideal home layout. Being architecture trained, Rebecca also gave good, realistic advice, and was never pushy which we really valued. Her advice on things like whether a certain number of drawers were feasible made complete sense when she explained them patiently to us - that was very helpful since we were planning for our new home for the first time and had some ideas that really probably wouldn’t have worked. She also went the extra mile to check with her contractors/suppliers when we saw things we’d have wanted but they didn’t supply (like a type of swivel shower partition). She also actively negotiated for a better price for us, within reasonable limits. Perhaps what we enjoyed most about working with Rebecca was her clear explanations and her good vibes - it was never just “yes can do” or “no cannot do” - but she took time to help us understand aspects of design and explore collaboratively what could and couldn’t be done. (Her scribbled drawings are also very easy to understand/act as a good visual aid when she’s explaining). While we went with another company due to their company’s in house carpentry etc(we were mostly doing carpentry for this Reno), we will not hesitate to work with Rebecca in the future should we need any work or Reno to be done!

Roy work according to my budget and plan with care to ensure I can achieve my "dream house" idea while not overspent. He is flexible and patient in arranging meet-up with me due to my hectic schedule. Trustable! And most importantly, he can understand what my needs and wants in building my dream house. He offered extra help to source for compatible deco and accessories. Hopefully once the renovation started he can also put in equal effort to the entire renovation project.

Had the opportunity to discuss our home renovation plans with Quad R's Nigel, and we were impressed by his expertise and professionalism. He was attentive when listening to our lifestyle needs, and proposed great ideas to us. Communications-wise, it was also a smooth experience with Nigel as he relays information clearly and promptly. Meetings with him were always enjoyable and fruitful sessions. Our heartfelt thanks to Nigel!

I’m very pleased with Joleen’s work. She was professional, dedicated, and guided us through the design process with clear explanations and realistic 3D renders that closely matched the final result. She was proactive in resolving defects, flexible with my schedule, and ensured everything was completed smoothly and on time for our move-in before the lunar 7th month. Overall, it was a worry-free experience, and I highly recommend her for her reliability, attention to detail, and excellent service.

We’re so grateful to have worked with Delphine on our dream home! From the very start, she has been incredibly patient, helpful, and responsible — always taking the time to answer our countless questions promptly and clearly. Her responsiveness and attention to detail really gave us peace of mind throughout the entire renovation process. She not only understood our ideas but also offered creative suggestions that made the final design even better than we imagined. Thanks to her dedication and professionalism, our home truly feels like us. We couldn’t have asked for a better ID — thank you so much for your hard work and for making our dream home a reality!

I was referred to Jo-ann by a friend, and I’m very glad I decided to engage her as my designer. From the first meeting, she came across as friendly, approachable, and very professional. Communication & Responsiveness Throughout the renovation, Jo-ann was extremely responsive (even on weekends and after hours) which gave me a lot of reassurance. She was clear and timely in all her communication, whether it was advice, updates, or responses to my queries. Design & Advice Her long experience really shows in the way she advises on details I would never have anticipated. Her guidance was both practical and design-focused, helping me strike the right balance between aesthetics and functionality. The designs she proposed were well thought out, not just beautiful but also highly suited to my daily routine and needs. Project Management & Workmanship Jo-ann was accommodating to my schedule and managed smooth arrangements with the subcontractors. The workmanship delivered was commendable, and even when hiccups happened (as they inevitably do in renovations), she acted quickly to resolve issues and ensured recovery was smooth. Importantly, she kept within budget and timeline, and the final outcome exceeded my expectations. Overall Experience What stood out most was how she turned what I thought would be a stressful renovation into an enjoyable experience. Her professionalism, patience, and dedication gave me confidence in the process. Final Thoughts Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my renovation journey. I highly recommend Jo-ann to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, and thoughtful designer who truly cares about both the process and the result.

This is my second time engaging Raymond, and once again, they have meet my expectations! From the design phase to the final handover, the entire renovation process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. The team was very attentive to details, listened patiently to our needs, and offered creative yet practical solutions that truly fit our lifestyle. The workmanship was excellent, and the quality of materials used was consistent throughout. They also managed to keep to the timeline and budget, which I really appreciated. I’m so happy with how the house turned out again. Thank you Raymond for turning our vision into a beautiful and comfortable home! Definitely my go-to ID and highly recommended to anyone looking for a trusted renovation partner.

Like many homeowners, I had many sleepless nights worrying about finding the right renovation consultant after deciding to overhaul my 4-room flat. What made it even more stressful was that this was probably only my second or third major renovation in the past 40 years. While researching online, I came across Qanvast and got connected with Jill, one of their consultants. Jill introduced me to two design firms, one of which was Swiss Interior Design, a well-regarded interior design firm in Singapore. That was how I came to know CS Lai, the designer who eventually became my renovation consultant. Jill also shared a valuable tip — to pay attention to the “chemistry” you have with your consultant, as it is often overlooked but key to a successful partnership. She was absolutely right. At the start, I was naturally cautious and did not immediately place my full trust. However, as the renovation progressed, CS’s meticulousness, professionalism, and self-imposed high standards gradually won me over. I realised that having the right chemistry with your consultant is just as important as expertise, and with CS, it developed naturally through his dedication, thoughtful guidance, and clear communication. CS communicated clearly and responded promptly throughout the project. During the renovation, I had to undergo major surgery. CS immediately stepped up as the main point of contact for all my deliveries and kept me updated with site videos due to my physical inconvenience. He went above and beyond to ensure everything stayed on track. Small gestures such as — bringing a chair from his own home so I could sit comfortably, arranging the installation of my custom cat play wall (cat trees, scratch poles, and climbing mounts) without additional charge, and helping disassemble my digital lock — were all things that went well beyond his responsibilities and showed his thoughtfulness. Before handover, he even replaced certain items proactively, before I could spot them. The service and workmanship quality were excellent, reflecting his attention to detail and commitment to perfection. CS also kept the renovation within a reasonable budget and timeline, providing confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. I often joked that he is a bit OCD — but in this field, that is truly a strength and asset! It suits me well too, because I am OCD as well. Today, I am a very happy homeowner with a beautifully renovated home. This experience reaffirmed the importance of having the right partnership and the right chemistry — one built on trust, communication, and shared commitment to excellence. I sincerely recommend CS Lai and Swiss Interior Design to anyone looking for a responsible, detail-oriented, and trustworthy renovation partner.

Working with Desmond from Jesigns has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From the very first meeting, it was clear that they understood not just what we wanted, but also what our home needed to truly come alive. Every design choice — from colour palettes to furniture layout — was carefully thought through. What impressed us most was the meticulous attention to detail and the seamless way everything came together. The entire process, including design planning, coordination with contractors, and logistics, was handled so smoothly that it took all the stress off our shoulders. We always felt informed and confident at every step. The end result exceeded our expectations — our home feels not only stylish and cohesive, but also incredibly warm and liveable. Desmond blended functionality with aesthetic harmony in a way that truly reflects who we are. On top of that, everything was completed on schedule — a deeply appreciated feat. We’re so grateful for the professionalism, creativity, and care poured into every detail. We highly recommend Desmond to anyone looking to transform their space into something truly special.

We recently completed the renovation of our 4-room BTO and had the pleasure of working with Su Han and Luke as our interior designers. From the very beginning, they impressed us with their professionalism, creativity, and dedication. What stood out most was their friendliness and professionalism—we clicked instantly from the very first meeting, and they became our first choice after meeting with several other interior design companies. Luke was the one who first captured our aspirations, while Su Han was the main ID managing the renovation. They also went the extra mile by offering to liaise with external vendors we had engaged, something rare in the industry and not always handled by other firms. Su Han provided us with regular updates throughout the renovation process, which gave us peace of mind and confidence that everything was on track. She was also quick to address any concerns we had, always offering thoughtful and practical advice to help us make the best decisions for our home. Even when challenges arose, she acted proactively, and even the contractors we engaged had nothing but praise for her. She consistently put our worries to rest, and we experienced none of the “renovation horror” stories that are so common online nowadays. Both Luke and Su Han took the time to truly understand our needs and lifestyle, ensuring that every design choice catered to both our functional requirements and aesthetic preferences. Their attention to detail and ability to balance style with practicality have given us a home that feels not only beautiful but also comfortable and uniquely ours. We are extremely grateful for their guidance and hard work, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. We would highly recommend Pulp Design Studios to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and talented designers who genuinely care about their clients. P.S. They also have a new lighting store and offer a one-stop solution for a complete renovation setup! Do check them out!

We decided to engage Gabriel from Forefront Interior as our designer because we were looking for someone professional, reliable, and creative to help us create a dog-friendly home with a modern contemporary aesthetic that suits our lifestyle here in Singapore. We sought the opinions of 4 other IDs, and we went ahead with Gabriel as he was sincere and had an eye for details. Working with Gabriel has been a very positive experience from start to finish. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process and was always quick to respond to our questions or concerns via WhatsApp, which made coordination so much easier. What impressed us most was his ability to design a stylish, modern contemporary space that perfectly accommodated our furry family member without relying on timber elements, which we specifically wanted to avoid due to Singapore's humid climate and our personal preferences. Gabriel really understood our HDB/condo constraints and maximised every square foot efficiently. Whenever we faced uncertainties about creating pet-safe zones or selecting durable materials that could withstand our tropical weather, Gabriel was able to propose practical and thoughtful solutions that balanced both aesthetics and functionality. He recommended excellent alternatives like quartz surfaces and ceramic tiles that are both scratch-resistant and easy to maintain in our climate. We also had the pleasure of working with Yve, who was absolutely fantastic in her project management role. She kept track of all the renovation timelines, coordinated with the various contractors, and ensured everything stayed on schedule despite the typical delays that can happen with HDB/condo renovations. Her proactive communication and follow-through gave us added peace of mind, especially since we were staying with our relatives during the renovation period. One thing we really appreciated was how Gabriel handled our specific requirements for creating a dog-friendly environment. He was patient and understanding when we requested changes to ensure our pet's safety and comfort, such as selecting scratch-resistant surfaces, installing pet gates that blend seamlessly with our modern design, and creating a designated feeding area that doesn't compromise the clean aesthetic. He even suggested clever storage solutions for pet supplies that keep everything organised and out of sight. All adjustments were carried out smoothly without compromising the sleek, contemporary look we desired or affecting the overall timeline. Gabriel also demonstrated excellent knowledge of local suppliers and was able to source quality materials at reasonable prices, which helped us stay within our renovation budget. His recommendations for air-conditioning placement and ventilation were spot-on for our Singapore climate, ensuring both comfort for us and our dog. The workmanship quality was consistently impressive throughout the project. Gabriel's recommended contractors were reliable and skilled, and he personally supervised the work to ensure everything met his high standards. This attention to detail gave us complete confidence in the renovation process. What stood out most about Gabriel is his genuine professionalism and commitment to understanding our unique lifestyle needs as a pet owner in Singapore. He didn't just listen to our requirements - he anticipated potential issues and offered solutions we hadn't even considered. His design expertise shone through in how he created a space that's both Instagram-worthy and practical for daily life with our dog, all while maintaining that clean, modern contemporary aesthetic we love. The final result exceeded our expectations completely. Our home now features beautiful, pet-friendly flooring that's easy to clean, smart storage solutions that hide all the pet essentials, and a layout that allows our dog to move freely while maintaining distinct zones for different activities. Friends and family who visit are always impressed by how stylish and functional the space is. Overall, Gabriel and Yve managed to deliver exceptional results while keeping to our budget and timeline - no small feat in Singapore's renovation scene! The entire experience was stress-free, and we felt well-supported throughout the journey. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home and would not hesitate to recommend Gabriel and his team to anyone looking for dependable, talented designers who can accommodate special requirements whilst delivering outstanding results.
