Interior Designer Reviews

I'd done up my resale 3 room renovation with Stylerider and my designer Daphne assisted my husband and I when we were overseas during the commencement period. Renovation was a breeze and details provided to us were pre-agreed on and delivered timely as per promised in communication. Our renovation took us near 7 weeks as we had to confirm some major details over the phone due to time difference, which it took us some time as we need to provide Daphne the correct conclusions. I would like to thank Daphne for her dedication and her care for our project when we're not around.

Chose Yong Yi as my designer as during proposal stage, he'd came out with many sketches in order to help me visualise what I want for my home Yong Yi was easy to talk with he had came out with creative ideas for my home which are practical yet good looking Workmanship of their carpenters are very good, cushions were nicely wrapped and there were no rough edges Budget was well-communicated and managed along the way, I did not exceed my budget as per what I initially planned

I had bad experience engaging the ID firm STYLERIDER INTERIOR DESIGN, the Home Space INTERIOR Designer/ID is Terence Tan. Finding the right ID is a highly intuitive thing so one to have self-access, are we convinced after talking with the ID and their proposal etc. Very often before an agreement was signed, we were swept away by their smooth talking. I am not different from anyone too, I was moved by his desperate desire to close a deal & prove himself with promises laid out to me. During my discussion with him, I sense his inexperience but out of his sincerity and desperation I award him the reno job out of kindness. I gave him the benefits of doubt despite his claim to have at least 4 years of ID experience. After the renovation commenced, the process proved me right and the truth left me with my jaw dropping. Based on his conduct as an ID,he is obviously very inexperience, irresponsible & ignorant. I know ID usually goes on-site to give instructions on what to do etc. and I don’t expect him to be there witnessing the sub-con doing their work. But I would expect him to check on work done after every stages of work-in-progress to ensure there is nothing left out or defects, and work not well done but this is not fulfilled as promised. As an ID this is the basic responsibility, if he is there to do a check on every stages of work completed, it could have been rectified and avoid unnecessary delay and dispute. I make regular trips to my flat to spot for defects & jobs not well done. Not only were he irresponsible, ignorant his misjudgement is really a big problem. What proofs his lack of knowledge and incompetence is he can’t even justify the size of a spot light & the driver depth to be fixed onto the bedside open shelf despite his carpenter’s advice. Unfortunately he is not apologetic for his attitude but only to find reasons to cover himself up. The mishaps I encountered – - Toilet wall tiles and service yard tiles were tiled up despite part of it was chipped off visibily. - Bedside open shelve with spot light – the opening depth is too shallow for spot light driver to be fixed in causing the spot light dropped off. - Kitchen dish rack door dropped due to the inappropriate weight of the hydraulic pump used to support the door thus causing the flip door to give way. I am totally dissatisfied with his service especially the tiling workmanship is the worse I have ever came across. In conclusion, I am extremely regrettful to have recommended my sister to use his service before my unit is completed to justify the entire workmanship, his reliability and responsibility. I truly feel sorry to witness my sister’s encounter of problems and mishaps which are far more serious than mine. Till today, her 1-bedder condo (taken into consideration to offset 1 month for peak period in Dec 2018) she has yet to move in. This is absolutely ridiculous. My sincere and heartfelt advice to other home owners to make informed reviews, decisions, better to take more time to scrutinise than be regretful. I believe this quote is commonly encountered by consumers – “ Over promise, Under deliver “ . I will never refer anyone to use his service at all.

We shortlisted a few IDs but decided to engage Stylerider as it was referred and the pricing was good too. We are quite happy with happy with their workmanship. Of course there is some minor hiccups here and there along they way, but they managed to rectify it. The project wasn't completed within the promised timeframe. They took longer than expected, which we thought it wasn't good as it will affect the homeowner's plans. I hope they can improve on their project management & the scheduling being realistic to their customers. Apart from the delays, we are happy with our renovation.

Stylerider was recommended to us by a contractor who did the renovation for my previous house. There was no ID involve for my project. From my knowledge and experience, i did the designs and drawings myself. There was not much problem as it is done based on what i want. Jack was very helpful as he went out of his way to help us with things that is not part of his work and we thought he deserve credit for it. There is just one thing that we are not very happy about which is the painting job as it was not done by professionals and we have to provide the painters with their painting equipment. For further improvement, i hope they will engage professionals instead of bangladesh worker to do the painting job. Other than that, we had no complaints. Renovation completed in: July 2016

Stylerider was recommended to us by colleague. The IDs were very professional and offered us a very good price. Our project was very well managed and completed on time. As we had some things to be patched up, they are able to do it for us without incurring any charges! Both communication and coordination was taken care of very well. We would definitely engage them again!

Stylerider was shortlisted from qanvast website. Out of all the IDs, we decide to engage Erwin from Stylerider as we liked the design proposed. Erwin is willing to listen and understand what we want. He also gave us tips and advices on the ideas. The renovation process was smooth and we do not have any workmanship problems. We are very happy with their service and would definitely recommend them to our families and friends. Renovation completed in: Ongoing (est 2nd wk of June) Cost of renovation: $25,000

We shortlisted a few IDs through Qanvast recommendation but our final choice was Stylerider. We decide to engage them for the style, personality and commitment. The price quoted and design proposed was good too. Stephanie and Howard was the ID in-charge of our renovation. It was easy communicating with them. In times of hiccups, they are able to resolve it quick. However, there was a slight delay in completing our project. Although it was not solely their fault, Stephanie and Howard did put in effort to try to get our project complete faster. Overall it was a good experience working with them and we would recommend them to our friends and families. Renovations completed in: June 2017 Cost of renovation: $70,000

Stylerider was engaged by my boss to do up our two eateries. The design was done by the owner of Stylerider himself, Jack. He had a very good design skills, and he gave us suggestions on our shop's seating arrangement. Their service was good ad efficient. The workmanship was good too as we can see the product's quality. The project was completed on time. Renovation completed in: December 2015

Stephanie was a very good listener. She listened to us well, understanding what we wanted before coming up with the drawings. The design proposed was very close to what we wanted and they did not add in any unnecessary things. We are impress with how open they are with their pricing and there is no hidden cost. Stephanie is always reachable and answered any of our queries promptly. Although there was some delays, they manage to do things pretty quickly and completed just one or two days later than the initial agreed timeframe. We had no problems working with them. In fact, Stephanie helped us solved most of the problems. We had recommended Stylerider to a few of our friends. Renovation completed in: December 2016 Cost of renovation: $25,000

Stylerider was previously engaged by a relative and we decide to engage them for their workmanship and also the price they quoted. We are happy with the design proposed by Jack and their workmanship was good too. There were no problems throughout the renovations and they did complete the project around the agreed timeframe. We are satisfied with their work and it was a good experience working with them. Renovation completed in: May 2017 Cost of renovation: $35,000

After consulting a few IDs, we decide to engage Stylerider as they are negotiable with their materials and designs and not pushy. We also got some positive feedback from a friend whom recommended them to us. Our ID, Jack, is flexible and able to accomodate to changes that was made along the renovation. Overall, the renovation process was fine, it will be better if they can update on the progress more regularly. Renovation completed in: October 2016 Cost of renovation: $45,000
