Interior Designer Reviews

Addis was the ID for my mum's house, and despite issues cropping up, he was always able to resolve it. There were issues with worker communication, as well as initial quality, and when we voiced out, he was always very quick to ask the respective workers down to resolve it to our satisfaction. Addis was also down at the worksite frequently to check on the work. Overall, the final workmanship was excellent, and my mum was very happy with the final product. Thank you!

Renovating a home involves many decisions and moving parts, from discussing ideas to choose finishes and seeing everything come together on site. We appreciate the work carried out by the Renologist team throughout our renovation and the effort involved in coordinating the various aspects of the project. It was a significant process for us as homeowners, and finally see the completed space. Thank you to everyone involved in helping us through the renovation journey. There was some miscommunication, but it can be improved. Keep it up.

We recently completed a full home renovation for our BTO with Kenneth Kwan, and overall we are extremely satisfied with the entire experience from start to finish. From our very first consultation, it was clear that Kenneth genuinely wanted to understand what we needed, not just what looked good on paper. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions about our lifestyle, daily habits, and how we actually use our space, and used that to shape design ideas that felt tailor-made for us. Many of the suggestions were things we hadn't even thought of ourselves, but once proposed, he made perfect sense for how we live. Site visits, meetings, and updates all happened on schedule, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind, especially since renovation horror stories about delays and poor communication are so common. We always knew what stage we were at and what to expect next, which made the whole process far less stressful than we anticipated. The design itself struck a great balance between aesthetics and practicality. Our favourite part has to be the kitchen as we went with an open concept layout, and the island turned out even better than we imagined. It's become the natural gathering point in our home, whether we're cooking, having quick meals, or just chatting while someone's prepping food. The dry pantry alongside it was such a smart addition too, giving us tons of extra storage while keeping the main kitchen area clean and clutter-free. Beyond the kitchen, storage was maximised throughout the flat (which matters a lot in a BTO!), traffic flow felt natural, and small daily inconveniences we didn't even flag were quietly solved. It's the kind of design that looks great in photos but works even better in everyday life. What really impressed us, though, was how Kenneth handled things when problems came up. At one point our carpentry work didn't turn out as planned, but instead of brushing it off or making excuses, he took ownership of the issue immediately and got it rectified quickly. It's easy for an ID to look good when everything goes smoothly, but seeing how responsibly and promptly he dealt with a mistake gave us even more confidence in him. Not every hiccup can be avoided in a renovation, but having someone who takes responsibility and fixes things fast makes all the difference. Pricing was also fair and transparent. We never felt like we were being upsold unnecessarily, and the quotes given matched what we were eventually billed, with no unpleasant surprises along the way. Given the quality of work and service, we felt we got great value for what we paid.

Carina took time to listen to how we envisioned our place to be and guided us in the right direction towards a mix of themes to make it happen, she recommended different material selection to help our idea stand out. During the planning phase, she recommended unique layouts to utilise tight spaces making it more roomy. Carina was responsive to our inquiries during our meeting and made practical recommendations in the design for our future needs in mind.

Carina from Decor8 replies super fast, gives great ideas, and plans everything ahead so the whole renovation process feels so much easier and stress-free. Really appreciate how organised and thoughtful she is throughout!

I engaged Fineline for my home renovation and have paid 60% of the contract value to date. The original work schedule provided by Fineline indicated completion by 6 August. The project remains substantially incomplete. In late July, my assigned ID, James Tan, informed me that he had left the company but would nevertheless complete my project. On 8 August, after receiving no further update, I contacted him and was then informed that he would no longer be completing the project and that he was unable to advise who would take over. I have received no communication from Fineline regarding who will take over my project or how the outstanding works will be completed. I am also unable to establish contact with Fineline through its published email addresses and contact numbers.

One of the worst contractor experiences I have ever had. I paid 95% of the contract price, yet less than 50% of the agreed work was completed. The workmanship was poor, and although the contractor agreed to redo the defective work, they still failed to finish the job. What they left behind was completely unacceptable — exposed raw wood, protruding nails, splinter hazards and electrical wires left hanging. These are not minor cosmetic issues; they are serious safety concerns. And the worst part? I have been living with this situation for more than a month. My home has effectively been left in an unfinished and potentially dangerous condition, despite having already paid almost the entire contract amount. I gave the contractor an opportunity to rectify the problems. They failed to do so. I then sent formal legal correspondence, and they simply stopped communicating. 95% paid. Less than 50% completed. More than a month living with the mess. Safety hazards left behind. Legal letter ignored. Zero accountability. This is an astonishing level of poor workmanship, irresponsibility and lack of professionalism. Once most of the money was collected, there was apparently no urgency to complete the job or address the problems they created. An absolute nightmare from start to finish. Think very carefully before engaging this contractor. I would not recommend them to anyone. Contractor from hell — USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

We had a bad experience with ID after renovating our 1st house and was initially contemplating going with another ID or to manage contractors ourselves. After meeting a few IDs, Shun Li from Jesign had us convinced with his ideas, experience and familiarity with EMs. We felt assured going with Jesigns after reviewing their extensive portfolios of EMs. Shun li was very detailed in his design, incorporating innovative design with practicality, even considering our habits and physique (e.g. height of the counter tops and design of the false ceiling to avoid me bumping my head as i I am quite tall). Because we had young children and wanted both safety and some fun elements for the house, he nicely incorporated everything in. During the actual reno process, from hacking till completion, he provided daily updates to us. And if we had fresh ideas to amend things along the way, he was always ready to listen and adjust the plans to the best way possible. Overall, it was a very assuring and comfortable journey renovating our home with Jesigns. Highly recommended!!

ChaiHwa and Sandy from 53 Design Studio were introduced to us by a friend whose home they had designed. We came to them mid-renovation with a half-completed home and honestly, not much confidence left after our previous ID and contractors stopped short. What we needed most at that point was someone who could look at the situation calmly and tell us what could realistically be done. That's exactly what they did and it's why we engaged them. They walked the house, worked out everything still outstanding, including a few things that weren't safe to use as they stood and went about putting it right: electrical, tiling, waterproofing, plumbing, wet works. Nothing was patched over to save time. Work that needed redoing was redone properly. Throughout, they were steady and matter-of-fact about it, which did more for our peace of mind than any amount of reassurance would have. Communication was straightforward and prompt. As busy individuals what we valued most was being able to leave the house in their hands and know things would be done — no chasing, no coming home to find a day had been wasted. They kept us updated on their own initiative, and when something needed a decision from us, we heard about it in good time. Where we weren't sure what we wanted, they proposed options rather than waiting for instructions. They listened to how our family actually uses the space before suggesting anything, and on materials and colour pairings they gave us clear professional recommendations instead of leaving us to guess. When we asked for changes or flagged something to be rectified, it was taken up without friction or defensiveness — the answer was always to sort it out, not to explain why it couldn't be done. The workmanship reflects that. The cabinetry was 3D rendered, every measurement confirmed on site before production, and the finished units came back almost exactly as rendered and no surprises on installation day. They kept to the agreed timeline, and we ended the project with no cost variations at all. Where a variation was a possibility, they raised it with us upfront, explained it, and left the decision to us without any pressure either way. After what we'd been through previously, that alone counted for a great deal. The most outstanding quality is their composure. Taking over a half-completed project is thankless work but they never once made us feel like a difficult client for the mess we inherited. If I had to name an area to improve: I would have gone with 53 Design Studio right from the start. They are professional, knowledgeable, respectful and delivers what is agreed upon on schedule and on budget. I cannot emphasize how important this is to us and I believe to most, if not ALL homeowners. My family now has a warm and cosy place to call home, and I'm genuinely grateful to ChaiHwa and Sandy for that. If you're starting a renovation, I'd suggest speaking to them. My only regret is that we didn't get to know them earlier.

We are repeated customers of U-Home. And they have always impressed and delighted us in every of our renovations. 1. Strong design that also is also functional. The workmanship and material are great quality and last for years. They are always there to tell us what works for longer term and what doesn’t. 2. Their supplier partnerships that are also reputable and of quality. Eg carpentry, Aircon, etc. All are focused on great quality and outcome for customers. 3. Strong PM ship. Issues can’t be prevented but U Home always act on interests of owners and the reno adjustments are always done in timely and also of great quality. I have never felt for a moment any issues can’t be solved. 4. Quotation marksmanship. Throughout renovation, there are always new asks as customers eg modifications, touch up. But we always felt assured that U Home can complete the Reno within budget targets. 5. Timeliness. Once the project starts, U Home’s PM track implementation week by week. There wasn’t any moments that we felt that we are behind time. We will like to thank Dereen (PM) and Desmond from U Home for always giving us wonderful homes to live in. Their professionalism stands out strongly in the industry and being in business for more than 20 over years, it is strong testimony to their commitments to customers. We will love to recommend them to more of our friends! Thanks! Yamamoto

I had a really great experience working with Sabrina. She helped design and renovate my home, and I was so happy with her work that I also engaged her to revamp my parents’ home. She understood what we wanted and created spaces that are light, airy and comfortable — exactly the feel we were looking for. Renovation is never completely straightforward, but what stood out to me was how Sabrina handled things along the way. Whenever something needed attention, she was responsive, proactive and quick to work things out. She may be young, but she’s very knowledgeable, capable and quick on her feet. I trusted her enough to leave most of the renovation in her hands with minimal supervision, which made the whole process much easier for me. Really happy with both the design and the overall experience. I’d definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a designer who is reliable, hands-on and easy to work with!
