Interior Designer Reviews

Working with Ms. Huda was an absolute pleasure! She took our vague ideas and turned them into a space that feels uniquely us. Her expertise in blending colours, textures, and functional layouts transformed my home into a stylish yet liveable masterpiece. I was blown away by her attention to detail—every corner feels intentional, from the statement TV console to the perfectly curated décor. What I loved most was her collaborative spirit. She listened patiently to our needs, offered creative solutions, and kept communication clear and friendly throughout the process. Deadlines were met without compromising quality, and she even stayed within budget! Whether you’re redesigning a room or an entire property, Huda brings passion, professionalism, and a magic touch to every project. *10/10—would recommend to anyone!*

Initially was worried when looking for IDs to renovate my home. However Eight designs representatives Victor and Monday, who were assigned to my project, both put those worries to rest. They were extremely responsive and managed their contractors extremely well. The quality of their in house carpentry is also of better quality compared to what you find across the market. Absolutely comforting home designs to suit your needs and wants. They also set aside time over weekends to ensure that everything is addressed down to minor details. What was important is that they managed to over deliver on their promises which is a huge plus point. Overall would highly recommend.

Our ID rep Sky Tang was very helpful and suggested many good ideas throughout the renovation. We wanted a simple and low cost (about $22k) renovation and he managed to do it for us. Process was rather smooth and the works were completed within a month. I would recommend them to my friends and relatives for future works.

I don’t usually write reviews, but my experience with Eight Design compels me to warn others. If you’re considering hiring them for your renovation, please read this first. We recently endured an Eight Design renovation in our block, and it was nothing short of a nightmare. From morning till evening, the deafening hacking noise was relentless. This wasn’t just typical renovation noise—it was unbearable. The impact on residents was severe: adults experienced stress-induced nausea and pounding headaches, young children were crying inconsolably, and even pet animals had bloody diarrhoea from the anxiety. The noise was so overwhelming that even with windows and doors shut, it was impossible to work from home, rest, or go about daily life. Desperate for some relief, I reached out to the project manager, HP Lim (Lim Hooi Peng). She assured me she’d look into it and call me back with an update. That call never came. No follow-up, no courtesy text—just silence. After waiting in vain, I called her again. This time, she bluntly dismissed our concerns, insisting they had the “right” to proceed because of their permit. In other words, because the paperwork was in order, the suffering of other residents was not their problem. I was stunned. We weren’t asking them to stop the renovation—just to expedite the worst of the hacking. Instead, her response was: We’re allowed to do this, deal with it. What really struck me was her dismissive attitude. She even stated she “did not have to pick up (my) call”, as if responding to concerns about her own project was a personal favour, rather than a professional responsibility. Any basic customer service or community courtesy went out the window. I hung up that 2nd call feeling powerless and disrespected. To put this in perspective, most other ID firms wouldn’t handle things this way. We’ve had other units in our condo undergo renovations before, and responsible contractors coordinate with management, keep residents informed, and try to limit the most disruptive work to reasonable hours. Eight Design, however, was rigid, unprofessional, and dismissive. Frankly, this experience shows poor project management on Eight Design’s part. A project manager should manage not just the project’s timeline and contractors, but also its impact—especially in an older estate where many retirees, young children, and WFH residents are home during the day. Instead, what we got was a project manager who didn’t follow up as promised and then brushed us off because the paperwork was in order. Just because you can do something (thanks to a permit) doesn’t mean you should do it without consideration for others. The lack of empathy and basic courtesy was astounding. If this is how Eight Design handles a simple noise complaint, imagine how they might handle any issues that you, as a homeowner, might have during your renovation. Would they listen and adapt, or just cite “policy” and carry on regardless of your concerns? Bottom line: our encounter with Eight Design was a nightmare, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone—client or neighbour alike. If you are considering hiring Eight Design for your renovation, think twice. Renovation should be an exciting milestone, but their disregard for the community turned it into a source of stress and regret. No matter how good the portfolio pictures look or how attractive the quote is, ask yourself: Do I want a firm that treats neighbours this way? Because if they don’t respect the people living next door, what makes you think they’ll respect your needs as a homeowner? You deserve an ID firm that not only delivers on design but also respects people. Eight Design failed spectacularly on that front. I sincerely hope this review helps someone avoid the distress we went through. I cannot in good conscience recommend Eight Design to anyone.

We can’t thank our interior designer, Peggy, enough for her incredible professionalism and dedication. She managed the entire project timeline flawlessly and handled every change—big or small, even those unexpected last-minute adjustments—with such calm and efficiency. Her quick responses and proactive coordination with all the contractors took a huge load off our shoulders. We left the entire design and material selection completely in her hands, and the result was nothing short of our dream home come to life. The design she created was exactly what we envisioned—if not better. The contractors she worked with also delivered excellent workmanship, which really brought everything together beautifully. Truly a 5-star ID who made the entire renovation journey smooth and stress-free! A big thank you as well to the boss, Eric, for expediting our tight renovation timeline and giving our project the priority it needed!

We revamped our son's room to enhance storage capacity. The designer from Eight Design delivered exceptional work, and now the room feels much more spacious with ample space for all his belongings. We are extremely pleased, thanks to Monday and Candice's excellent coordination with the workers and their responsiveness to our queries and needs. We will definitely choose Eight Design for future renovations and highly recommend them to anyone looking to update their home.

They understood our requirements and vision, and provided good and reasonable suggestions for the design. They were also very prompt in replying, and were very good in managing and coordinating the different components of the renovation project. They also provided sound and reasonable suggestions on how to furnish the house, and how the design elements like curtains, furniture and paint can complement each other to fit our theme.

We recently worked with Eight Design on our kitchen renovation, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. Victor and Monday were assigned to our project by Eight Design, and from start to finish, their service was exceptional. Even though ours was a small project, they were highly responsive and prompt in addressing all our queries while keeping us updated throughout. Victor and Monday were accommodating and patient, always taking the time to address our requests. They paid great attention to detail, including the finer aspects. They made every effort to understand our needs, carefully listened to our requirements, and provided creative ideas to make our kitchen functional. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. Kudos to their team of skilled workers, who ensured that everything was handled with care and that there was no damage to our appliances. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we now have a beautiful, functional kitchen that we absolutely love. We highly recommend Eight Design to anyone seeking professional, client-focused interior design services.

Among quotes from 4 different ID firms, I went with Eight Design Studio (EDS). EDS was recommended by my ex-ID friend (previously not from EDS) who has had high standards and expectations of his own renovation and he was satisfied with Peter from EDS. In terms of price quotation among the 4 firms, EDS ranked middle. Team comprised of 3 IDs - Peter (senior/mentor to the team), Peggy (who appears to be the main ID) and Monday. House size – 1 Bedder condo, 41 sqm During the Pre-sales stage (before selecting EDS as my ID), the team came over to survey my house and I shared with them my ideas. Around 1.5 weeks later, we reconvened in their office for further discussion. During the discussion, they did up a Powerpoint deck, showing me roughly how each carpentry would look like on a piecemeal basis (not the 3D rendering of the whole house yet – which they provided after I signed with them) before sending over their quotation for my consideration. They explained to me in great detail every single line item in the quotation on the nature of work required and the materials used. I shared with them that my budget was lower than their original quote and they proposed alternative solutions to meet my budget while still ensuring same quality. They even made time to meet me on weekends at my convenience, which I greatly appreciate. During the renovation, Peggy was very responsive to my queries (even though some might be amateurish), taking the time and effort to provide detailed explanations to help me understand, even replying after office hours and weekends. My queries included many “what-ifs” scenario to the renovation as well as advices on furniture dimensions, colour theme and practicality. Also, I had many nitty-gritty requests such as helping to source for vendors for balcony locking mechanism and main door stopper, every single power point which I want to relocate etc, which she attended to every single one of them dutifully. One notable example of Peggy going above and beyond was when the toilet bowl flushing buttons were not working well and due to the flushing system of my condo, it was hard to find a replacement, so I told Peggy that I am okay to keep the current. Instead, Peggy went the extra mile to help me source for an exact replacement! Peggy and Monday also spent a few whole days accompanying me to shop for lightings, fixtures and carpentry (dining table mechanism) to ensure that I am comfortable with the products and prices. Peggy not only focuses on getting the job done well, she also ensures that the result is something that I am satisfied with, and not just settling for. Peggy is a very hands-on ID. For example, towards the end of the renovation, I noticed that paint on one part of the wall had not been touched up properly and without hesitation, Peggy helped me to touch up (and it was a job well done) even though it was the painter’s job. For our carpentry discussion, Peter and Peggy accommodated to my availability which was on a Monday 7pm. During the discussion, both went through in great detail the dimensions of every single carpentry and explaining their logic for certain widths, heights, depth, material used, colour etc. For progress and updates, the ID Monday would share with me on the planned schedule of works and constantly provide updates on the renovation works which I really appreciate, knowing that the renovation is progressing. Whenever there was an unexpected issue that surfaces, all 3 IDs would arrange for a call to discuss with me on a solution instead of making their own decisions. Overall, I am very satisfied with EDS for helping me through my renovation journey for my first home, and I would definitely recommend Peggy to my friends and family.

We have engaged Peggy and Peter Eight Design for renovation of our new condo unit. Both of them, as well as Eight Design on company level, have exceeded our expectations and we got well taken care of throughout the renovation. As this is for our new home, we had quite some ideas on the designs. Peggy and Peter provided their professional feedback and suggestions based on our preferences and they were willing to go the extra mile to review and revise the design multiple times. Eventually we got what we wanted in the design and Eight Design had also successfully executed the renovation works, to turn the design ideas into a real well-done project. We also had a relatively short timeline for renovation works as we wanted to move in as soon as possible. Peggy and Peter had repeatedly helped to solve all kinds of issues, even if many of them were actually from other vendors I had engaged. We appreciate very much on the responsive support given by them. In summary, we felt very lucky that we had engaged the right renovation company and right team who delivered beyond expectation. Many Thanks Peggy, Peter and Eight Design!!

This feedback is heartfelt and genuine, effectively conveying our positive experience. From the initial meeting in late March, we've collaborated with Monday & Nico on designing our new home. Through numerous planning sessions and revisions, their dedication has resulted in a stunning design exceeding our expectations. Thank you both for your incredible effort! We are deeply grateful for their dedication and the beautiful home they have helped us create.

We are absolutely thrilled with the design and renovation work done by Hooi Peng and Melvin! From the start, they were incredibly friendly, approachable, and easy to communicate with. They listened attentively to our renovation ideas and provided thoughtful solutions to bring our vision to life. Throughout the entire process, they worked seamlessly with contractors and other vendors, especially Hooi Peng, ensuring that everything moved smoothly and was completed in under two months. Their promptness in addressing any concerns and their thorough attention to detail, especially when it came to checking for defects, made the entire experience stress-free. We truly appreciate their dedication and professionalism, and we couldn’t be happier with the results of our new home!
