Interior Designer Reviews

Kelly was recommended to my wife and me by our friends, who had nothing but good things to say about her. After meeting several IDs, we knew Kelly was the one we wanted to work with. She understood what we were looking for and helped bring our vision to life while elevating it with her own ideas. She has a great eye for detail and was always on the ball throughout the renovation process. Right up until the handover, Kelly made sure every detail was taken care of and that we were happy with the final result. As first-time homeowners going through a renovation, my wife and I really appreciated how she made the entire journey smooth and fuss-free. I'm really glad we chose Kelly and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer!

I would highly recommend Yang Hann for his outstanding efficiency, professionalism, and reliability. He consistently complete all requests on time and is always prompt in responding to messages. What truly sets him apart is his willingness to go the extra mile, especially when sourcing items and ensuring that every request is taken care of. His proactive approach, excellent communication, and dedication to delivering results make him an absolute pleasure to work with. A dependable and highly efficient person who consistently exceeds expectations!

Haiying is very good in project management! She ensured all works are completed within the timeline planned. She updates us on our Reno progress and ensure rectification is done promptly. She is also flexible and able to help come up with suggestions so we can keep within our budget. The final result is similar to the render, just like how we imagined it to be! I would engage her again for our next home. Great job!

Really appreciate Rock's attention to our home and his ideas! He was very patient throughout the whole renovation process and always gave us a listening ear. He took the time to understand what we wanted and offered creative, practical suggestions that really improved our space. Very responsible and most definitely very easy to communicate with. We felt well taken care of from start. Thank you so much, Rock!

This review is written especially for designer Jacqueline, whom I had the pleasure of liaising with during my home renovation planning. Although I eventually decided not to proceed with her proposal due to my own personal preferences and considerations, I would like to recognise and commend her for her professionalism, competence and dedication throughout our interactions. From the very beginning, it was evident that Jacqueline is an experienced designer with a strong understanding of her craft. She demonstrated a sound knowledge of what could and could not be done, taking into consideration HDB’s renovation regulations as well as the type and age of the property. I appreciated how she was able to provide clear and practical guidance, which gave me greater confidence in understanding the possibilities and limitations of renovating my home. What particularly impressed me was her ability to prepare a full-house rendering incorporating my preferred colour palette and present it during our second meeting. This allowed me to visualise her proposed design direction and better understand the thought process behind her ideas and the overall flow of the space. I recognise that producing such detailed renderings at such an early stage requires considerable time, effort and commitment, and I genuinely appreciated her willingness to invest so much into helping me envision my future home. I am truly grateful for the thought, time and dedication Jacqueline put into preparing her proposal. While we ultimately did not move forward together, that does not take away from the positive experience I had working with her or the appreciation I have for the effort she put in. Her willingness to help homeowners visualise the potential of their homes is something worth recognising. I wish her every success in her future projects and hope she continues to find clients who connect with her design approach and appreciate the value she brings to the table.

I’m writing this review based on my pleasant and positive experience interacting with designer Matthew Chew. Although I eventually decided not to proceed with his proposal due to my own personal preferences and considerations, I would still like to commend him for his professionalism, sincerity and proactive approach throughout the process. After our first meeting, where he took the time to understand my needs and requirements, Matthew continued to engage with me while preparing the design plan and quotation. He would occasionally share photos of tiles he came across that he thought I might like, or simply to get a better sense of my preferences. I really appreciated these thoughtful gestures, as they showed that he was genuinely invested in understanding my vision and exploring ideas that might suit my needs. This level of attentiveness stood out to me, especially knowing that interior designers often have multiple projects to manage concurrently. I recognise Matthew’s dedication to his craft and genuinely appreciate the time, thought and effort he put into preparing the plan and quotation. While we ultimately did not move forward together, I walked away with a positive impression of him and am grateful for the pleasant experience. I believe Matthew’s sincerity, thoughtfulness and willingness to go the extra mile are qualities worth recognising. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone looking for an interior designer who takes the time to understand their needs and approaches his work with genuine care.

I engaged Decor 8 for my HDB renovation, which commenced on 20 July 2026. As of 13 October 2026, nearly three months later, the renovation remains at the wet works stage, with substantial contractual works incomplete and rectification still ongoing. My experience has raised serious concerns about the firm’s integrity, transparency, workmanship, quality control and project management. 1. Serious Worker Misconduct and Hygiene Incident Human waste and toilet paper were discovered in the master bathroom wastewater floor trap during renovation works. This was an unacceptable incident in my own home, requiring professional cleaning and extensive rectification, including hacking and reinstatement of affected areas. While Decor 8 subsequently undertook rectification, the incident caused significant disruption and raised serious concerns about worker conduct and site supervision. 2. Serious Concerns About Integrity and Transparency During hacking works arising from the worker hygiene incident, I discovered that tile pieces had been used to construct a wall extension where hollow blocks had been specified and quoted. What concerns me most is not simply the difference in construction materials, but that this substitution was never proactively disclosed to me. The discrepancy came to light only because an entirely separate incident required hacking that exposed the internal construction. Had that not occurred, I might never have known that the agreed specifications had not been followed. Although Decor 8 subsequently rectified the wall, this does not address my fundamental concern about integrity and transparency. As a homeowner, how can I be confident that other concealed works have been carried out according to the agreed specifications when this discrepancy was discovered only by chance? Overall — A Substantial Loss of Trust These are only two of several issues I have encountered, but they are the most concerning because they raise fundamental questions about Decor 8’s worker conduct, integrity and quality control. While I acknowledge the corrective works undertaken, my concern extends beyond rectification. Significant issues were discovered and pursued by me rather than proactively identified through the firm’s supervision and quality-control processes. Nearly three months after commencement, the renovation remains at the wet works stage, with substantial contractual works yet to commence. The repeated disruption, additional hacking and prolonged delays have significantly undermined my trust in Decor 8’s integrity, workmanship and project management. I am sharing my experience so prospective homeowners can make an informed decision.

It was an amazing experience working with Stephen from Carpenters tradehub21. We have went to around 10 IDs and decided to work with him. He is easygoing and accommodating yet display professionalism and expertise in advising on the aesthetic and also functionalities. Providing options and alternatives during renovation hiccups. He has been very prompt and helpful. It was a really nice experience working with him. It was a smooth renovation better than I expected

We consulted more than 10 interior designers before deciding to work with Zen, and we’re glad we made the right choice. What stood out about Zen was her friendliness, patience, and ability to understand our priorities. As we were working with a limited budget, she gave us practical advice on how to save costs while keeping the design functional and maintaining quality. Unlike a pushy salesperson, she never made us feel pressured into making decisions or spending more than necessary. She is also generally prompt in responding to our enquiries and remains committed to finding the best possible solutions, even when faced with unforeseen circumstances. We appreciate the time and effort she puts into helping us achieve the best outcome within our means. Overall, we highly recommend Zen to anyone looking for an interior designer who is sincere, approachable, practical, and genuinely puts her clients’ needs first!

Working with Angela of Brickwood Studio has been a real pleasure from start to finish. As most homeowners in Singapore will know, renovation can be one of the most stressful parts of getting a new home ready. There are many contractors to coordinate, timelines to keep track of, and decisions to make along the way. Having the right person managing the project makes all the difference, and Angela was exactly that. She took ownership of the entire process, coordinating the different trades and keeping everything on schedule, so I never had to chase anyone myself. She was always responsive and kept me updated at every stage, which gave me real peace of mind. What stood out most was how meticulous she is. During inspections, she pointed out defects and finishing issues that I would never have noticed, and she made sure each one was properly rectified before handover. That level of attention to detail is rare and something I truly appreciated. If you’re looking for an interior designer who is organised, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about the result, I would highly recommend Angela and Brickwood Studio. Kudos to her and the team!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Renovation Experience with Ciseern and Unice! We had a wonderful experience working with Ciseern for our home renovation, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! A special thanks to our designer, Unice, who has been incredibly professional, patient, and attentive throughout the entire process. She listened carefully to our needs and preferences, provided thoughtful suggestions, and helped turn our ideas into a beautiful and practical home. Her attention to detail, design sense, and commitment to making sure everything was right really made a difference. Renovation can be a stressful process, but Unice made the whole journey much smoother and more enjoyable. She was approachable, responsive, and always willing to help whenever we had questions or needed advice. We truly appreciate her dedication and the effort she put into making our home renovation a success. We are very pleased with the overall experience and would highly recommend Ciseern to anyone looking for a reliable renovation company. If you’re considering a home renovation, we would definitely recommend asking for Unice. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine care for her clients are truly commendable. Thank you, Ciseern and Unice, for helping us create a home that we love! ❤️

Renovation, especially resale unit, is a long, intense and relentless journey. Cindy made the huge positive difference to an otherwise potentially chaotic episode that we so often read and hear from others. Cindy no doubt is a top and best ID around, and from - Ciseern - an established and reputable ID firm. For an ID, Cindy has a sense of simple elegance, attentive, approachable and a very good listener. She also has an agile and charismatic character to manage and steer the various working partners from electrician to plumber to tiler to painter to carpenter! We understand in renovation it is not easy to have everything correct the first time, but it is the quality of each refinement and the positive mindset to find solutions that count. We are very grateful and thankful to have Cindy and Ciseern throughout our renovation season!
