On my first appointment with Homies designer, i met ZhiLing and I was impressed by her professionalism and meticulous details to understand my style & requirements. ZhiLing works on the ideas that fit with my likes and dislikes, while still coming up with creative concepts to overcome the space planning. Despite of the challenges faced during the covid period, she was attentive on the quality of the materials used, the colour palettes and the design details which the result was truly amazing and practical, turning my dream home into reality. It is the best decision I have made. Thanks for the beautiful work. I highly recommend ZhiLing & her team. She's someone can be totally relied upon with your home design.

Highly recommended! I engaged with Homies Design for my resale HDB renovation and ID Daren is great. He is friendly, patient and professional. After our first meet-up, he quickly got which style we want and gave professional suggestions. And the quotation was competitive. He took good care of our house and was helpful during the renovation. The project was nicely done and only took 2 months even during Covid period. We love the final work and do our friends, thanks to Daren and Homies Design.

Engaged Homies with Flora as our ID for the renovation of our first home. Flora was the only ID that was able to come up with a design that suited our needs. Despite COVID restrictions during the renovation period, there was minimal delays to the renovation and Flora was prompt in keeping us updated on the renovation progress. Big thumbs up to Flora & Homies! 10/10 would engage again for future renovations!

It was our second time working with Kenchi and we genuinely appreciate his good-natured humour and patience. He was accommodating and was able to meet to our needs. My husband and I were beyond pleased with your dedication and accountability shown each time we needed something to be fixed. That being said (knowing our hectic schedule), he was a 'hands-on' project manager and was constantly there at our unit during the reno works. He updated us regularly and tried his best to rectify all of the problems we had. Blessed to have crossed path with you again, Kenchi. Thank you and all the best!

Engaged Daren from Homies Design after conducting research on a few other firms. Reason we chose him was because he was price competitive and the design fit our requirements. Looking back on our reno journey, I would say we had a good experience and no major issues. 1) we were going for something simple and practical with the design. Daren made sound suggestions and offered good feedback based on his experience, that enabled us to make more informed decisions. He didnt hard sell form over function, and neither was he proposing frivolous ideas. 2) with covid, we expected major delays but somehow, daren managed to keep things moving. Sure there was the occasional push back in works or retiming of an installation but the reno was still completed in good time. 3) rectifications were followed up on 4) Overall, would recommend daren as he's a friendly guy, easy to talk to and his company offers a competitive option.

My wife and I are pleased with Benjamin Neo who helped us to design and manage the renovation process for our house. Although there were some delays and hiccups during the renovation whereby the majority of the delays were due to limited resources because of Covid-19. The rest of it was well-taken care by Benjamin Neo. Despite our indecisive moments, we are impressed by Benjamin Neo's patience, proactiveness, and the tenacity to respond to our last minute request and changes (I mean like a lot.) I'm glad to have Benjamin Neo from Homies Design as my ID, truly appreciate his help and thank you for making our home according to what we wanted. Cheers!

It was in December when Covid phase 2 opened up I decided to renovate my home. When I was searching for an ID, I got introduced to Homies through one of my friend. I did receive quotes from many top Interior designer and through Quanvast. I was looking for an ID, who would be very committed, reasonably priced and who could guide you throughout the renovation journey to make the best outcome and obtain the value for the money spent. I am very happy to get to know our ID Champ Lai, who was very patient in handling all our queries, was detailed in gathering our requirement, very accommodative in understanding our needs in terms of designing a kitchen which will look modern, as well as not compromise my traditional heavy cooking needs. From choosing the tiles, laminate, counter top, lighting and guiding in every aspect of the design he stood by us in carefully listening to our wish list, and suggesting to what we could opt for, proposing the market trends and letting you decide as per your choice / budget. It was such a pleasant experience to work with their team, where all the members including carpenters, plumbers, and electrician were so well organized, accommodative and they were careful enough to follow the design principles architected by the ID. There was constant inspection, and follow-up where we felt greatly assured. Renovation is a one time effort for many of us, and we really anticipate an outcome that would bring out the wow feeling in you once the project the completed. At the start of the journey I did have the usual anxiety in terms of identifying and defining our needs, it also needs to balance between the budget, and design that will suit your needs. The most important aspect that I was impressed is that they were very open with the pricing and guided appropriately on things to consider before I could decide on my choice of material or design. There was no hidden cost and Champ Lai meticulously planned every minute detail, were the execution was a very smooth and we had pleasant journey. I am so happy to get a new makeover for my home, thoroughly satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend to my friends. Wish you all the best Mr Lai, I am sure you have a great success on your way
