If you're looking for an interior designer who keeps you on your toes, this is the one. Why have a project manager when you can become one yourself? Appointments were cancelled at the very last minute, leaving me to deal with things on my own. On one occasion, I received the floor plan just five minutes before the scheduled discussion, giving me virtually no time to review or prepare. Updates on the project were rarely communicated proactively, and when they were, they often came at the last minute, leaving me constantly scrambling. The project was initially promised to be completed in two months, but dragged on for almost four. Throughout the process, it genuinely felt like my renovation had been deprioritised. Communication was poor, timelines were unrealistic, and there was little accountability when commitments weren't met. There were also far too many empty promises. "I'll get back to you today" often turned into a week later—if there was a follow-up at all. Most of the time, I had to chase for updates instead of receiving them proactively. To give credit where it's due, the contractors, electrician, painter, and the rest of the on-site team were all friendly, polite, and professional. They were a pleasure to deal with whenever I met them. Ironically, I hardly ever saw the interior designer on site throughout the project. I can honestly say I've never felt this frustrated over a service experience. What should have been an exciting milestone became an unnecessarily stressful experience because of the repeated last-minute changes, broken promises, lack of communication, and constant uncertainty. No customer should have to chase for updates or feel like they're managing their own renovation. Overall, the experience felt less like hiring an interior designer and more like being hired as the project manager for my own renovation.

RuiYang and Jaecee Helped me a lot from the first start when we approached them for Reno Idea. I think I made the right choice to head down to their office to get what we want for our house into more clear cut and detail. Mainly first my type for the interior would be just a normal ordinary house painting and hacking. However, they open up my view and idea into something more extraordinary. The idea matches with what we were looking for and directly worked under our budget as per plan They made our journey for Reno smooth and easy heading out to buy the house lighting and Accessories smoothly. I would say their pricing is transparently clear no hidden gimmick. Where they work towards the budget you are in. Most importantly they will update us and get our consent to see if those items in the house are good to use or not to change. Which I think not all IDs will initiate that. Thumbs up for that. But overall till the day of completion, I was really satisfied with their service as the hard work they gave was fantastic. Both of them were easy to communicate with and easygoing creating the best rapport with the Client are the key and and also more comfortable for us to work our ideas with. Thank you for the service 💯✨

A friend recommended Cindy to me, and I’m so glad I chose to work with her. From our very first meeting, she was professional, patient, and genuinely took the time to understand my lifestyle, preferences, and budget. She transformed my ideas into a beautiful, practical, and well-designed home that exceeded my expectations. One of the biggest challenges was that I was working overseas for most of the renovation, so I couldn’t be around to supervise the project. Cindy went above and beyond by coordinating the entire renovation on my behalf. She kept me updated regularly with photos and progress reports, managed the contractors professionally, and even helped coordinate the delivery and installation of all my furniture. Knowing that she was taking care of everything gave me complete peace of mind despite being miles away. Throughout the project, Cindy was responsive, organised, transparent, and always quick to solve any issues that came up. Her attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every stage of the renovation. What impressed me most was her creativity and ability to maximise every inch of space while maintaining a modern, elegant, and timeless design. She has an excellent eye for colours, materials, and finishes, and the final result looked even better than I had imagined. I can definitely understand why my friend recommended Cindy to me. If you’re looking for an interior designer who is talented, reliable, trustworthy, and truly cares about her clients, I highly recommend her. She made what could have been a stressful renovation completely smooth and worry-free, and I couldn’t be happier with my new home. I would happily recommend Cindy to my family and friends without hesitation.

Originally did our first Reno in 2023, recently wanted to add some stuff to our house and engaged Roy once again. He was thorough with his project management and it was all arranged very quickly. He accommodated our schedules and made sure that we considered carefully before proceeding and not just trying to “sell”. Will definitely find Roy again should we move / want to have another renovation. Happy with the quality of work! (Recent Reno had to install a dishwasher, previous Reno was for the whole house)

We chose Phyllis after meeting with several other IDs as she was very responsive, and she understood our design brief very well. Despite having to work within a tight schedule of 3 months due to condo management restrictions, Eric (site manager) and Phyllis worked hard to ensure that the project was always on track. We are impressed as we have heard from our friends about their unexpected renovation delays. Phyllis is always contactable and responds very quickly to our queries, which is something we valued. She was also very understanding and willing to provide her input and to facilitate the delivery of items even though we did not always buy from her recommended contacts/ vendors. She is also easy to work with and was willing to provide multiple revisions to the earlier renders provided as our design choices evolved. This was helpful in allowing us to make our decisions, especially as first-time homeowners.

We had a wonderful experience working with our interior designers, Reyan and Rebecca. Although they are young, they are passionate, professional, and genuinely dedicated to their clients. During the renovation, there were a few minor mistakes, but what impressed us most was their honesty and sense of responsibility. They acknowledged the issues without hesitation and were willing to share the cost and responsibility to make things right. That level of accountability gave us great confidence in them. Throughout the entire project, they were always approachable, helpful, and proactive. They constantly offered creative ideas, practical advice, and effective solutions whenever we encountered challenges.

We recently completed our kitchen renovation from Niche Koncept, and the results are absolutely spectacular. From the start, our kitchen had highly complex technical requirements. We wanted a customized, two-tier layout side-by-side modular gas and induction domino hobs built into a premium Sintered Stone countertop, a flush-mount countertop trash chute, and perfectly integrated appliances like our freestanding Bosch dishwasher and twin upright Samsung fridges. Kent and Wesley didn't just nod and agree—they engineered it flawlessly. They took our technical blueprints and turned them into a warm, premium, handleless taupe kitchen that feels both ultra-modern and incredibly functional. If you want a team that balances high-end design maturity with elite structural execution, look no further than Niche Koncept.

We are truly honoured that you entrusted Niche Koncept Design Group with your home renovation and that Kent and Wesley were able to bring your vision to life.

We chose UrbanHome Design because we really liked their design aesthetic from a neighbouring unit in the same project, and we're glad we trusted Chi Fung and Poh Jin with our home renovation. Throughout the design and renovation journey, they were always open to our feedback and accommodating whenever we requested changes. They were patient in discussing ideas with us and helped coordinate the various aspects of the renovation, which made the process much smoother. Chi Fung has a fantastic eye for design and was able to bring the aesthetic we had envisioned to life. Poh Jin was responsible and diligent in executing the changes we requested, ensuring things were followed through during the renovation. Both of them were also incredibly efficient and hardworking, responding promptly to our questions and concerns—even after office hours on occasion—which gave us great reassurance throughout the process. As with any renovation, we would still encourage homeowners to carefully inspect the workmanship and finishes after the major works are completed. That said, whenever we highlighted any issues, Chi Fung and Poh Jin took ownership of them and were accountable in ensuring the necessary rectifications were carried out. Overall, we're very happy with how our home turned out and appreciate the professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication that Chi Fung and Poh Jin showed throughout the project. We'd happily recommend them to anyone looking for interior designers who have a great design sense, communicate well, and genuinely care about delivering a home that reflects their clients' vision.
