A Brilliant ID with incredible talent, integrity & speed!

Reviewed by L G・Submitted 15 Oct 2024・ Project completed Sep 2024・Designer Gilbert

Gilbert, our expert ID is simply THE best. I concur with every posted feedback here. We LOVE how Gilbert transformed our new condo into a chic, elegant, functional masterpiece we proudly call home. From design to completion, Gilbert is masterful in managing design concepts, communication, transparency and expectations. He lives up to his promises and his word. His prices are fair and very reasonable with no hidden costs. His designs are simply amazing and I am a huge fan! Gilbert’s designs are original, not a “copy & paste” effort. He does it so effortlessly. Utilizing vertical space, light, texture, colors to achieve a perfect elegant and clean design for a small space is truly at the heart of his design for us. I have challenged Gilbert at every turn but alas, he deserved my complete trust in design and workmanship. Thank you Gilbert for everything! You truly are one in a million! I have enjoyed the Reno process with you and thankful that you made it so easy for us. We love our home! Thank you!

Lots of questions, particular and on budget

Reviewed by D Co・Submitted 28 Oct 2023・ Project completed Oct 2023・Designer Gilbert

Gilbert is a fast worker who is straight to the point. As first time home owners, a busy work schedule and being very particular, we had a lot of questions which we repeated ask him. He is able to answer time and time again and light up the chat with his jocular antics. When we ask him for ideas and design matches he was also ready to offer tips. Despite hiccups, our project was eventually finished on time and within our tight budget.

Great job Gilbert!

Reviewed by NUR HAFIZ BIN MOHAMED RAMLAN・Submitted 19 May 2024・ Project completed Jul 2023・Designer Gilbert

I recently completed a comprehensive renovation of my house, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the project exceeded my expectations in every way. **Design and Planning:** The renovation process began with a thorough design and planning phase. Gilbert worked closely with me to understand my vision and needs. He provided detailed sketching that helped me visualize the final outcome. The attention to detail in this phase was remarkable, and it set the tone for the entire project. **Execution:** Once the renovation began, the construction team demonstrated exceptional skill and professionalism. Everything went ahead according to the timeline without a hitch. **Craftsmanship:** The quality of craftsmanship is evident in every corner of my renovated home. The custom cabinetry in the kitchen, the elegant tiling in the bathrooms, and the beautifully refinished parquet floors all reflect the high standards of the team. Every element was meticulously installed, and the attention to detail is truly impressive. **Communication:** Throughout the renovation, communication was seamless. I was kept informed of progress with regular updates and was able to address any concerns promptly. Gilbert was always available to answer questions and provide solutions, making the entire process stress-free. **Outcome:** The final result is nothing short of spectacular. My home has been transformed into a modern, functional, and aesthetically pleasing space that perfectly suits my lifestyle. The renovation has not only increased the value of my property but has also significantly enhanced my daily living experience. **Overall Experience:** I highly recommend Gilbert to anyone considering a home renovation project. He is able to get the job done within 6 weeks which is an amazing feat. His expertise, dedication, and attention to detail are unparalleled. This renovation has been a dream come true, and I am grateful for the incredible work done on my home.

Pandemic Renovation

Reviewed by Tijendran Nair・Submitted 4 May 2023・ Project completed Apr 2023・Designer Gilbert

Me and my wife had our flat renovated lead by Gilbert's Team. We had at least 5 IDs for comparison and hands down, Gilbert had out stand everyone of them by a big margin. It was difficult during the pandemic to have people/labour in for works but he assured me otherwise. He would constantly send updates and picture to us and keeping us informed of what are the works going on currently. He even shared his contact of other suppliers such as Air condition, accesories and curtains for us to compare with our selection. Many suggestion provided by him throughout the reno made much sence to have instead of just the looks/design which was nice, it was rather more practical which was our end goal. I would definitely recommend Gilbert for anyone who seeks for an ID. Thank you Gilbert & Team

Just wanna give a shoutout to Gilbert. He fixed up my house a while back, and it’s honestly dope. Took my vague ideas and made them way better, no fuss. Super chill to work with too—everything got done quick and easy. Very prompt reply and efficient. He is very easy to work with. No stress, no drama. Kept me in the loop, got stuff done in tight schedule. Awesome follow up with questions that I have as well.

Designer Dream Home Come True

Reviewed by Kamen Ng・Submitted 19 May 2024・ Project completed Jun 2022・Designer Gilbert

Nothing beats coming home to a beautiful well designed home everyday! As 1st time home buyers, our main focus was on timeless modern lux design & while retaining practical functionality. The design consultations with Gilbert was extremely efficient, design is on point & yet practical for home living. Having saw some of his past works, we had full faith and entrusted bulk of the selection designs to him (the expert) to suggest & surprise us. It was one of our best decisions ever as our home turned out beautifully. Too beautiful till we always miss our home and look forward to coming back home during a holiday. If you are looking for great designs and a 5 star staycation hotel worthy home, Gilbert will be the best person capable to transform your next home.

Throughout the renovation process, Gilbert would always give us his professional advice and provide us with valuable information and suggestions... The best thing is he tried his very best to plan within our budget... He is always responsive, even late at night... He would update us periodically throughout the journey which we deeply appreciate as we are busy at work... His attention to details is worth mentioning... Gilbert is very patient and is always there to give assurance. Even after the renovation, he assured us that we can always contact him if and when we find anything not to our satisfaction...

Great experience with Gilbert

Reviewed by Mahirah Z・Submitted 4 May 2023・ Project completed Apr 2022・Designer Gilbert

We would like to sincerely thank Gilbert for a wonderful job done for our house as it was a smooth sailing process from the start till the end. We started engaging Gilbert during CB, and although we were not able to meet in person, we managed to discuss it over Zoom sessions and text messages. But that did not make the process slower or unpleasant at all. Gilbert knew what we wanted for the house and made a lot of suggestions to make the house look better. He had an eye for details and rarely missed out on anything. He was also fast in responding which made the experience smoother for us first-time home owners. Definitely an experienced and knowledgeable ID. Plus, he has a great and friendly personality too and we worked with him comfortably. We are glad to have put our trust in him. Definitely a great experience overall. Thank you once again, Gilbert!

How we ensure our reviews stay credible
Reviews help build trust and transparency within our community. To ensure reviews are real and unbiased, we practise the following:
Verified reviews are cross-checked against their renovation contract.
We screen reviews and only remove those that are dishonest, duplicated and/or irrelevant (e.g. gibberish).
Interior firms that are reviewed upon are unable to influence us to change their ratings.

Interior Designer Reviews

When choosing an interior designer, we believe that doing your own research matters – and it’s the reason why we have compiled a comprehensive list of independent homeowner reviews from all over Singapore for your reference.

Our reviews are vetted and independently submitted by verified users, so you can be sure that they will help you make the right move in your renovation journey. You may refer to our Review Policy on how we manage and police the reviews.

You can also make a more informed decision by checking out these useful resources and guides:

Hiring an interior designer, contractor or architect for the very first time? Keep an eye out for these key characteristics and details before choosing to work with a design firm and/or service:

  1. Project portfolio – What type of projects has your designer completed to date? Are they a good fit for your needs?

  2. Chemistry – Is your designer a good communicator? Are your interactions pleasant?

  3. Quote – Are you comfortable with your designer’s quotation? How does it compare to similar projects?

  4. Management style – Does your designer handle his work with care? Is he or she on the ball about his/her work?

  5. Reviews and references – What do other clients and/or homeowners say about your chosen designer?
