Incapable & Irresponsible ID

Reviewed by Andrew TanSubmitted 15 Mar 2025・ Project completed Feb 2025・Designer Murphy Lian

We engaged Murphy as he seemed sincere at the start and price was reasonable. He was enthusiastic at the start but things began to go awry when promises on timeline were not met. We are not unreasonable, as we expect hiccups here and there. What we cannot accept is lack of transparency in terms of communications as he had issues with carpenter but claimed otherwise, resulting in delay in renovations works. Renovations for a 4-room BTO started since Oct 2024 but up to date the defects are still not resolved. We have extended deadlines again and again and there is no sense of urgency from him to complete. Apparently his in-house carpenter went missing after an awful job done, and the new carpentry contractors are not up to standard and are unable to rectify the existing defects after few rounds. Poor workmanship, what’s worse is poor management of the entire project and inability to advise home owners on the choice of laminates. He has the cheek to ask us to accept it despite obvious fingerprints on laminates. Murphy refused to answer calls and messages despite several reminders. Missing in action is an irresponsible behaviour which we cannot comprehend and condone. He does not take the initiative to check the works himself, relying on forwarded videos and expect client to decipher ourselves. An irresponsible and incapable ID. Please avoid engaging this company unless you have a lot of time to tussle back and forth.

Fuss Free & Great Experience

Reviewed by Yikai LimSubmitted 26 Mar 2025・ Project completed Jan 2025・Designer Mandon

Was referred to Lian Interior for my Bachelor Pad by a close friend who also strongly recommended them. Mandon got in touch with me, and we got started with the concept pretty quickly. The renovations went smooth, and were really fuss free, as Mandon was there to oversee and advice me accordingly. He's also quite often onsite, as there were constant updates while the renovation is going on. Although there was a slight delay in carpentry, i still managed to move in ontime, with great workmanship (something i am very particular about). Mandon & his team's chemistry were exceptional. They were all working together to get the job / problem settled. Had friends over for housewarming recently, and have recommended them to Lian Interior, especially Mandon, for their future/oncoming renovation plans. Great job Lian Interior, & Mandon too!

DO NOT USE

Reviewed by Shawn TanSubmitted 29 May 2025・ Project completed Sep 2024・Designer Casper and Abel

We hired Casper and Abel for our interior journey and it was smooth until completion. But the nightmares begin after the handover period was over. Few months in, carpentry, glass, electrical and now wall have issues. Every single time I try to contact Murphy Lian (owner of this company) it takes forever to resolve. Dude basically MIA for days and sometimes more than a week before he gets back to you. So far all the issues were resolved by calling Casper and Abel for help who have left his company. The contractors who come down are arranged by Abel and payment has to be made on the spot for Murphy to pay me back. All except once, carpentry issues were called in by Murphy. Of which, I was told he did not pay his carpenters and they did not want to come unless he paid them what was owed. All other times like electrical issues or choked shower drainage, I had to find Abel for help before the relevant contractors would come. Now my false walls have issues, it’s been a week and I informed Murphy that I will lawyer up with another victim of his company. He challenged us to do it and we have also filed a police report. Unreliable. Unresponsive. Irresponsible. Do NOT use.

Reliable and Satisfied Interior Designer

Reviewed by Vienna LowSubmitted 15 Mar 2024・ Project completed Nov 2023・Designer Casper

I love to recommend Casper from Lian Interior, after looking at 5 IDs. I decide to go with Casper, he had a good vibes and transparency throughout the whole entire process. Casper had this positive energy which made my home renovation an enjoyable and stress free although there is a few minor hiccup and there. Casper was consistently open and communicative plus updating the process of our renovation and is there any issue he will update me and give a solution then implemented effectively. His transparent approach to budgeting and decision making gave me peace of mind and confidence in Casper and the team. I highly recommend Casper to anyone seeking a designer who not only delivers beautiful results but also creates a positive and transparent experience along the way.

No regrets

Reviewed by Joseph WeeSubmitted 7 Feb 2024・ Project completed Nov 2021・Designer Murphy

We went with Lian Interior because their designs were very nice. During our initial discussions with Murphy, we gave him a rough idea of what we wanted, and he gave us a lot of wonderful suggestions. We really love the entire house that he did up for us. It was unique and stylish. The after sales service was also excellent. After we moving in for a few month later, we had a few faulty lights that we bought ourself so We gave him a call on Saturday, and by Monday, they had sent his workers down to take a look. I have recommended them to my friends and I would definitely encourage others to engage their services!

Murphy was Recommended by my wife. It was our first-time renovating our home and Murphy has been helpful throughout the process. We were clueless as to what we wanted to do but Murphy took the effort to understand our lifestyle before coming up with the design proposal for us. He gave us a lot of design and he highlighted things that we should be wary of. The way he handle the project is very professional and has been very responsible to resolve any issues that we had. Excellent service and will recommend people out there who is looking for renovation works
