Interior Designer Reviews

A huge thank you to Stanley and Dylan from Empyrean Design Studio for turning a house into a reality "Home" of my very own style 🥳 Thank God everything ended smoothly within the targeted timeline of 3 months. There were definitely few challenges and unexpected issues, or hiccups along the way as human nothing is 100% perfect. However, they did their very best to solve it as smooth as possible. Best and truly appreciated was every single details were highlighted and updated constantly with no hidden cost. Everything were well discussed before making any decisions no matter how small were the issues. They shared their opinions and helped making good decisions together along the way making it a smooth experience indeed. Love max the kitchen, masterbed room and master bathroom. Everything came into reality from the 3D designs and planning. Overall, thank God it worked out great 👍🏻 Having understanding and professional good relationship to make a "Home" a reality is Important 💖 Thank you guys 💖

Hi everyone, I would like to share some feedback as we are now at the final stage of my renovation. I want to express my appreciation to Vincent for his support and professionalism throughout the entire renovation process. From planning to execution, he has been responsible, responsive, and patient in addressing our questions and design adjustments. He also coordinated well with the contractors and kept us updated proactively at each stage, ensuring the progress and workmanship were well managed. We are very satisfied with the overall outcome. Thank you Vincent for the hard work and dedication. Highly recommended! 🙏😊

My renovation is about 80-90% done at this point. We originally engaged Katelyn for her design and we are comfortable explaining to her our ideas. Her design sense resonated well with us and we would seek her opinion on other stuff like furniture selection etc. Like any renovation, mine had its share of hiccups. As new home owners, there are areas that we are not familiar. This led to some shortcomings during the project, but Katelyn did put in the effort to resolve issues timely for the project. She also adapted the schedule to accommodate our travel plans. Part and parcel of the renovation journey. Happy with the carpentry workmanship. I am looking forward to the final outcome.

The atmosphere I want to express for Comuna Interior is rooted in a distinctly Singaporean sense of minimalism: calm, clean, modern, and deeply intentional. It is the kind of environment where simplicity is not emptiness, but clarity; where every material, every texture, and every line is chosen with purpose. The feeling should be one of quiet refinement, the type of space that naturally slows the mind, encourages ease, and supports a lifestyle grounded in balance and intentional living. Nothing should feel excessive or ornamental. Instead, the beauty comes from restraint — the soft harmony created by well-chosen materials and thoughtful spatial flow. The palette is gentle and contemporary, leaning into warm neutrals and subtle natural tones that feel at home in Singapore’s tropical light. Think soft beige, warm sand, muted taupe, white with warmth rather than starkness, and light grey that feels airy instead of cold. These tones are complemented by occasional accents in charcoal, matte black, or soft sage, used sparingly to add depth and rhythm. The goal is a palette that invites calmness and feels cohesive across different rooms, creating a seamless sense of continuity. Materials play a critical role in shaping this minimalist identity. Natural woods with light or medium tones, smooth stone-like surfaces, textured fabrics, and matte finishes form the foundation. Oak, ash, birch, bamboo, and muted walnut tones blend effortlessly with micro-cement textures, woven textiles, and soft fabric upholstery. The tactile feeling should be comforting, grounded, and subtly luxurious. Everything should feel pleasant to the touch — not glossy or overly polished, but warm, matte, and refined. This approach reflects the quiet sophistication found in modern Singapore apartments, condominiums, and landed homes where space is optimized, clutter is controlled, and everything has a place. Lighting is one of the most important emotional elements. The mood should be soft and layered rather than bright and harsh. Warm lighting temperatures, recessed lighting lines, hidden LED strips, diffused glows behind panels, and gentle wall washes all contribute to a serene atmosphere. Natural light should be embraced: sheer curtains that allow sunlight to filter in softly, reflective surfaces that subtly brighten the room without overpowering it, and layouts that encourage open flow. The lighting design should feel calm, never clinical, and always supportive of relaxation and clarity. The emotional experience is one of quiet luxury — understated, peaceful, and timeless. It is a space where you instinctively feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded. The layout should prioritize openness and effortless movement. Storage should be invisible, integrated, and clean. Decorative elements should be minimal but meaningful. Spaces should evoke clarity rather than emptiness, comfort rather than complexity. This Singaporean minimalism isn’t about less for the sake of less; it is about creating a home or environment that feels breathable, intentional, and mentally freeing. It is simplicity with soul, calmness with character, and minimalism with warmth — the essence of refined modern living in Singapore.

Katelyn has been very patient with our requests and consistently acts on them promptly whenever something is raised. She provides professional aesthetic advice without being pushy, which makes discussions feel very comfortable. We also feel comfortable speaking with her which is something that gives us a strong sense of security. Overall, we appreciate her responsiveness and the assurance she brings as the project progresses.

I engaged Benny and Alvan for my home reno, and they are IDs who know their craft. Throughout the entire process, they offered practical recommendations that I wouldn’t have known on my own. They were able to propose solutions that made sense. They were always willing to accommodate my requests and went the extra mile to make things happen just the way I envisioned. Overall, I’m satisfied with the results and grateful for their hard work.

We are happy with the outcome of our renovation project with Mac. His patient and accommodating demeanor was a major plus point throughout the project, transforming what we have thought to be a typically stressful experience into a smoother one by ensuring we felt comfortable with every decision. We appreciate his fast response time to our communications. Furthermore, Mac has helped with coordinating and dealing with the various contractors, managing schedules, overseeing work, and engaging us in resolving any issues that arose. We appreciate all his efforts in the process and delivering the completed project.

Engaging Earth interior design was a huge mistake , lacking of discipline and coordination throughout the whole process. This revamp of my two bathroom project was taken noting that we are staying in the house and the mass amount of debris , equipments, water pails , big pile up of cement and tiles were scattered everywhere like a manufacturing factory .The designers are dressed very sloppily with T slippers and were seldom on site with supervision responsibilities. Anyways, it would not make any differences with a punch card attitude which I realised later on .. the plumbers refused to lay protection gear so we ended up with a faulty door with scratches and unable to close . There are hints of low quality job like constant dragging of job completion time frame , undelivered 3D design , scarce communication job requirements with their plumbing and tiling foreign workers which we thought it is just hiccups along the way . The decision to end the project despite incomplete renovations was when we entrusted them with our house , the door was left open and the tiler decided to raise a big , ugly , outdated shower kerb to his liking . The whole thing was a add on disaster when the “hulk @ Lloyd came into this project with directive commands to his team to stop all works threatening to leave all the debris , equipment and others in my house defending the grave mistakes. The poor workmanship of cracking and uneven tiles on the bathroom , poor plumbing works was a far sight of what we saw at the showroom .. up to now , my two bathrooms are incomplete and the same way as it is but we are glad to end this devastating experience.

I recently completed a modern-style home renovation, and Daryl was the perfect interior designer for the job. He understood my vision immediately and transformed it into a clean, stylish, and functional modern space. Every detail from the color palette to the materials and lighting, was thoughtfully selected and beautifully executed. Daryl was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Whenever in doubt, He kept the entire renovation process smooth and well-coordinated, which made everything stress-free for me. I’m beyond happy with the final result. If you’re looking for a talented designer who truly excels in modern interiors, I highly recommend Daryl 👍🏻👍🏻

Recently we wanted to change our wallpaper cos we got tired of the old look. Whether it is a big job or relatively smaller one, Eugene our trusted ID has never failed to impress! In fact, he has proven to be our creative, responsible and patient ID for our last 3 houses renovations (and many more to come!). Thumbs up to Eugene and his team for doing an excellent job once again!

We recently completed renovating our parent's 5-room HDB flat with Jess and Thing Zhen from Urban Home Design. They left us a deep impression as they were the only ID firm that required us to fill a questionnaire on our design requirements before our first meeting. Thus, our first meeting became very productive. Throughout the planning process, the team provided useful suggestions and recommendations. Jess did very well with the selection & matching of tiles/lightings/colors of laminates /flooring etc. Before the start of the renovations, we did a couple of onsite briefings, where the team fine tuned the designs to suit the habits of our elderly parents. The renovations went smoothly with no major hiccups and the team will report the progress throughout the renovations. Our parents were very satisfied with their 奶油风 flat. Even after renovations, we are still able to contact the team for minor touch ups and they are prompt in their responses. Thus, the whole experience is a pleasant one. Thanks for giving a 30 year old flat a new lease of life.

Before the renovation not yet started, we have meeting with the both couple of my interior designer. They are so focus on what we want for the home we want to design. They give good suggestion of what we should do and give good solution and pricing. They give good suggestion of the material we should purchase. This is the first time we do our own house. We have good communication with each other during the process of the renovation. The workmanship is good and detail for the furniture and cabinet. Derrick always respond fast and meet the needs of what we wanted. He keep his own timeline on his task and it was not too over budget and not trying to hard sell. He always follow up with his own vendor to make sure the job is done well.
