Interior Designer Reviews

Working with my interior designer Winnie Leow from icon interior design has been an exceptional experience. She previously designed my last home, and the quality of her work left such a strong impression that I entrusted her with this home as well. Her design approach is both refined and highly thoughtful. Every space is beautifully curated while remaining incredibly functional for everyday living. She has an exceptional ability to anticipate practical needs, incorporating smart storage solutions and thoughtful details that elevate the overall living experience. Beyond her creative vision, she is extremely responsible and attentive throughout the entire design and construction process. Her professionalism, dedication, and eye for detail truly set her apart. I am deeply grateful for the care and craftsmanship she has put into my home. The result is a space that feels both luxurious and effortlessly livable. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a designer who can seamlessly combine elegance, functionality, and impeccable execution.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Winnie from Icon Interior, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the very first discussion, Winnie demonstrated an exceptional design sensibility. Her vision for our home was modern, refined, and thoughtfully curated, resulting in a space that truly feels like a designer residence. Every detail was carefully considered, and the final outcome is a home that looks elegant, sophisticated, and timeless. My wife and I genuinely love every corner of it. What impressed us even more was Winnie’s professionalism and dedication throughout the renovation journey. She is incredibly patient, responsible, and deeply hands-on, ensuring that every aspect of the project was executed to a high standard. Even after the renovation was completed, she continued to follow up and make sure everything was perfect. Having heard countless renovation horror stories from friends, we truly feel fortunate to have met Winnie. She made the entire process remarkably smooth, stress-free, and reassuring, which is something every homeowner hopes for but rarely experiences. In many ways, Winnie felt like an angel sent to guide our renovation journey. For anyone looking for a designer who combines excellent aesthetic taste with genuine care and professionalism, I cannot recommend Winnie highly enough. Without hesitation, we will definitely engage her again for our next home

We had a very tight timeline to complete our renovation due to strict condo requirements and Karen was able to complete all works ahead of schedule to a very high level of workmanship and quality. She promptly addressed all defects when we identified some. The design planning process was very smooth and she has a good eye for design. She was able to deliver on our preferred design aesthetic. She also advised us how to best structure our space to maximise storage. Overall we are very pleased with our experience. Thank you Karen.

We are so happy to have engaged Icon Interior Design to renovate our first home. Special thanks to our ID Wayne and Clement for making the whole experience a very pleasant one. Their attention to detail and service have exceeded our expectation. We bought a resale unit and we changed all the tiles, hacked the walls, rewired the house, installed false ceilings, redo the whole kitchen, 2 bathrooms and built a walk-in wardrobe. We were in a rush to move in within 8 weeks. It was a very tight schedule for this extensive renovation but they made it happen. When we encountered problems or found defects in the house, they were quick to resolve the issues. Clement is always reachable and is fast to attend to our queries and requests. There is no hard selling and they are honest and transparent with their quotes. They are very experienced IDs and the workmanship is impeccable. We are very impressed with the result. We highly recommend them to anyone and would engage their services again in the future.

After meeting with several ID firms, we decided to go with Icon because – 1) The options for the building materials were all of good quality 2) Karen listened to what we wanted and was frank with us on what was possible based on our ideas 3) Karen give us additional suggestions on what would be good for our house design-wise and how to maximise storage space In a nutshell, the entire renovation process was a really smooth one and Karen was a great project manager. Most of the works were done quickly and on schedule. We did not need to go by the house often as each time we went, we saw that things were being done properly, neatly and carefully. There were no major rectifications despite us doing a fair bit of work and carpentry. There were only some touch ups here and there which were taken care of once we informed Karen. We were very satisfied with the overall quality of materials and workmanship. We were also pleased that the smaller details were done for us automatically without needing us to point them out. For example- – forward-thinking space planning and placement of access points so that it is easier for cleaning later on, maintenance, or adding things in the future – tiles were aligned nicely based on the room layout and the edges matched the skirting – putting silicone wherever possible so that bugs and dust will not get stuck in hard to reach places Overall, we are glad we chose Icon and are thankful to Karen for helping us make our dream home a reality!

We had shortlisted three ID firms for selection, and Marc from Icon sealed the deal by being very friendly, genuinely enthusiastic, and positive on the get go. He listened to our requirements carefully and provided inputs professionally, never pushing his own ideas above our needs for this to be a family home for many years to come. No renovation project is perfect, and this not being our first time doing home renovation, we had realistic expectations on how things would pan out. However, I must say we end up being impressed by how Marc and his team managed the project scheduling, handled the coordinations with different 3rd party vendors (e.g. curtain, ziptrack, lighting etc), all while being cognizant of our busy schedules. This significantly reduced the amount of frustration and stress on us as clients. highlights: - polite, patient, respectful - Great sense of ownership - Looked at things from client's perspective. - Excellent communication skills, plenty of photos and videos taken for project updates and discussions, and very responsive - Great design acumen and taste, helping us select appropriate furniture pieces to match the ID design, recommending cabinet sizing and positioning, selecting tiles and so on. - Prompt and fuss-free follow up on rectifications after handover. - Kept to budget, no hidden items that suddenly inflate the final bill. - good workmanship on carpentry and tiling

As first time homeowners everything seems overwhelming for us and choosing an ID firm can be very stressful but after much research and browsing through social media networks and reviews, we decided on ICON Interior Design. We were very lucky to be introduced to to Marc. Marc is very efficient and meticulous in his work and is very professional when answering our queries. From the initial proposal all the way to the process of renovation Marc went thru ALL of it with us. As me and my husband works irregular shifts, Marc never fail to always inform us on the progress of our home renovation. There were also a couple of unforeseen circumstances or hiccups but Marc was very honest about things and gave us helpful solutions. Even still, he was very transparent and even advise us things that should buy or not so as to fit our budget. Having Marc as our ID was truly a blessing and honestly me and my husband were very pleased and grateful with his expertise. Highly recommended. Thank you Marc and thank you ICON Interior Design. Wish you great success always!

Having a dream home is a desire of all homeowners. However, renovation works can potentially turn into a nightmare if the wrong ID firm is selected. Fortunately, we chose the right one to work with - Icon Interior Design. Boosting a wide design portfolio, Icon Interior lives up to its reputation of creating dream homes for many. Like a walking home encyclopaedia, Wayne is highly experienced and showed us home pictures of what he has done when we suggested certain ideas. He's also excellent with space planning that created a spacious, functional yet cosy place we love to come home to. All his suggestions pertaining to wall hacking were on-point and made a huge difference to our home design. Marc, on the other hand, complements Wayne. He understood exactly what we wanted and gave good suggestions for material selection and wall colour, which were crucial in setting the tone for our home. He was also on time with the work schedule and has excellent relationships with his trusted pool of contractors and suppliers. As a result, high-quality works from lighting, plumbing, carpentry, metal works, and paint works were delivered. In particular, our friends complimented on the outstanding carpentry work. Most importantly, Marc was highly responsive throughout the renovation, giving us great assurance. He was very accommodating when we requested changes to what was done, and where it made sense, even helped finetune our suggestions (it's not uncommon for many IDs to say "can't be done" due to the inconvenience). Marc is very reliable and managed every aspect of our project so well. We want to thank Wayne and Marc for walking this renovation journey with us and for meeting our demands and expectations for a home that balances both aesthetics and functionality.

We wanted to convert our dual key unit to a single living unit, while creating a nice study area which would not look out of place. After visiting several IDs, we finally decided on Icon Interior after meeting Lyn. She was friendly and approachable, open to our suggestions and provided a design which we were impressed with. Being newbies in renovation, Lyn brought us around to choose materials/furniture and gave us guidance throughout the renovation process. Despite hiccups along the way with the project manager during the renovation process, Lyn was able to help address our concerns ultimately. She is a talented designer with a great eye for detail and we are both very pleased with how our home turned out!

Marc was a very knowledgable and experienced designer who gave us so many ideas and suggestions to consider based on our priorities and budget. We took up many of these suggestions in order to give the house a more cohesive and polished look. As we weren't in a rush to finish the project, Marc was able to rectify any issues he spotted before moving onto the next stage of renovation. He was very responsive to any questions we had, as well as our requests for specific changes. Marc's regular updates with photos gave us reassurance about the quality of the worksmanship, and his dedication to meeting his artistic vision and standards meant that we did not have to worry about defects. In fact, Marc was still spotting and rectifying small imperfections that we didn't even notice, right up to the day of the handover! The entire experience was as stress free as possible thanks to Marc, and we would gladly recommend him to anyone as an artistic designer who is willing to go above and beyond to help clients achieve their vision rather than simply following instructions.

Karen Cheong was a polite and friendly ID when we first met. However after the initial payment made to her, it was the beginning of months of nightmare. I could never reach her over the phone when I dial her number, and she will reply you that she's in meetings/on calls and worse still, reject your call without any call backs. Messages sent will take at least half a day later before responses came back. A once-upon-a-time polite lady became overnight someone who is lack of simple & basic manners to even drop you an acknowledgement with messages you dropped to her. Countless times, it ran into middle of the night to get her simple and haphazard replies, which forced me out of my bed to engage as the issues required attention. To compensate her lack of involvement in my renovation work, I took almost half a month of leave to sit in the house while the contractors do their work. For the whole duration of 2 months, I barely saw her in my unit for once, which I never had the chance to speak to her as she claimed she is busy, need to give instructions and left immediately. Since then, we never met face to face for any of the renovation work or to discuss on the defects, I literally dealt direct with the contractors who came down. Super disappointed with the experience I had with Icon Interior. You basically pay for an ID to help you project manage the renovation but none of these were delivered in mine. I would urge new home owners to stay away.

We love the concept of our new home! Finding the right ID who can truly understand your needs and expectations is not easy and after talking to many IDs, we knew we've found the one when we met Kheng Wee from ICON Interior Design. He listened to our requests and provided great suggestions and ideas and most importantly, accommodative throughout the project. We’ve in fact received many compliments from those who have been to our place. It’s modern contemporary yet homey. Overall, a great experience!
