Interior Designer Reviews

We signed with ANSANA Interior Design, already paid 90% expecting 90% of the delivery but as you can see in the photos, its barely livable. Having taken 90% of our monies, we were left in our house in such a state with $100k of work unfinished and NOT communication and NOT returning our monies. We are now taking legal action against ANSANA. We even agreed and planned our move-in around the agreed schedule. As the date approached, the house still wasn’t ready. We were also asked to release more money to pay subcontractors so work can be completed, which made us anxious because so much felt unfinished. We tried to be patient. We chased updates, but many times we ended up contacting and coordinating subcontractors ourselves. The timeline moved, then moved again. Costs we thought were “all-in” later appeared as variation orders—like installation for doors/frames—and even our lump-sum demolition didn’t include removing the old tile skirting, which became another VO. Each surprise meant more time, more stress, and more temporary living costs. This experience has been exhausting and disheartening. We have sleepless nights dealing with ANSANA and now we do not even have a place to stay in because this very bad experience. We’re sharing it so others can plan better than we did: clarify exactly what “all-in” means (in writing), confirm what’s included in demolition (including skirting), and agree on how progress and payments will be managed.

I must preface this to say that we didn’t sign with El Arte but we really wanted to leave a review for the excellent ID we met and worked with - Rebecca. We met Rebecca over the course of about 5 wks, and had numerous meetings with her. From the get go, she was considerate of the fact that we were still overseas, and tried her best to fit our time. She also came fully prepared, with ideas, suggestions, and even drew up 2-3 options for us - something that very few other IDs did (in the end we met close to 15). Rebecca was heard our needs/lifestyle, and Came up with ideas/suggestions that showed she truly thought from our perspective. She also came up with very cool ideas that worked with our less than ideal home layout. Being architecture trained, Rebecca also gave good, realistic advice, and was never pushy which we really valued. Her advice on things like whether a certain number of drawers were feasible made complete sense when she explained them patiently to us - that was very helpful since we were planning for our new home for the first time and had some ideas that really probably wouldn’t have worked. She also went the extra mile to check with her contractors/suppliers when we saw things we’d have wanted but they didn’t supply (like a type of swivel shower partition). She also actively negotiated for a better price for us, within reasonable limits. Perhaps what we enjoyed most about working with Rebecca was her clear explanations and her good vibes - it was never just “yes can do” or “no cannot do” - but she took time to help us understand aspects of design and explore collaboratively what could and couldn’t be done. (Her scribbled drawings are also very easy to understand/act as a good visual aid when she’s explaining). While we went with another company due to their company’s in house carpentry etc(we were mostly doing carpentry for this Reno), we will not hesitate to work with Rebecca in the future should we need any work or Reno to be done!

Roy work according to my budget and plan with care to ensure I can achieve my "dream house" idea while not overspent. He is flexible and patient in arranging meet-up with me due to my hectic schedule. Trustable! And most importantly, he can understand what my needs and wants in building my dream house. He offered extra help to source for compatible deco and accessories. Hopefully once the renovation started he can also put in equal effort to the entire renovation project.

Had the opportunity to discuss our home renovation plans with Quad R's Nigel, and we were impressed by his expertise and professionalism. He was attentive when listening to our lifestyle needs, and proposed great ideas to us. Communications-wise, it was also a smooth experience with Nigel as he relays information clearly and promptly. Meetings with him were always enjoyable and fruitful sessions. Our heartfelt thanks to Nigel!

I got to know Elit Boss Interior Design through Qanvast and engaged them under Mr. Cedric Wong for my recent home renovation. I had a very positive experience throughout the entire process. Mr. Cedric and his team were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They were very attentive to my feedback and always attended to it promptly, which I truly appreciated. The workmanship is good and turned out exactly as I hopes (practical, clean, and pleasing to the eye). Overall, the renovation journey was smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend Elit Boss Interior Design (Mr. Cedric Wong) to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible ID firm.

Due to our tight schedule, we had already fixed our move-in date, and they only had about two weeks plus to complete everything. Despite the short timeline, Derrick managed the design and coordination so well. Ensuring everything went smoothly and on track. He even went the extra mile to get the carpenter to expedite the work, so we could move in with peace of mind and without dealing with dust or unfinished carpentry. His foresight and proactive approach really stood out. Jackson also did an excellent job on-site, overseeing the renovation and making sure every detail was well executed. The entire process was efficient, smooth, and within expectations. no delays, no issues, just solid workmanship and great communication throughout. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a team that’s reliable, responsive, and truly cares about delivering good results even under tight deadlines!

We had a good time meeting up with our designer, going over the points and what we were looking for our BTO unit. With how the unit is structured, they made do with the space and the carpentry is excellent for what we need. They're quick to changes in regards to minor things and because this is our first time with renovation, they've been extremely helpful in guiding us on some of the points we don't know about. They were also able to finish the renovation within the short timeframe we had between moving out of our old home to temporarily staying until the reno was finished.

As new home owners we were apprehensive about the ID we were going to pick for our renovations. We were mindful about sticking to the budget and were also dreaming big about the theme we wanted. May was recommended to us by our loved ones. Working with May has been a great experiance. She was with us every step of the way. She understood our brief and was able to provide us with a great design, keeping in mind our budget and theme. After looking over a few designs from different IDs we really loved the design proposed by May. From the tiles selection to the vinyl selection for our cabinets and stone selection for our counter tops, we had her advise all the way. That really helped because it was hard for us to see the end vision, so we trusted her to guide us. It led to a great outcome! Moreover, the materials she suggested to us always took our budget into consideration. May was also very prompt with her responses to our queries and late night texts. We really appreciate that. She was also able to work with us to problem solve some of the issues that we had during the reno. It was truly a collaborative experiance. We were given a clear timeline and the works proceeded in a timley manner. We would like to thank May and her team for helping us build our first home!

Shirley's professional service ensured our 5-room BTO renovation was on time and budget. The design features a neutral palette with warm wood accents, a flexible mobile kitchen island, and a stylish arched entryway cabinet. The quality workmanship is evident in the seamless, custom carpentry. Her clear guidance and efficient vendor coordination resulted in a highly functional and aesthetically pleasing home.

Catherine and Marcus have beautifully and thoughtfully designed and renovated our 5-room resale flat, bringing to life the vision they initially presented. The end result is stunning. Marcus contributed clever ideas that maximized the use of our uniquely shaped master bedroom while maintaining great aesthetics. We’re truly impressed and deeply grateful. The team kept us well-informed throughout, regularly consulting us on design choices and providing clear timelines. The project was completed ahead of schedule, giving us a smooth and unhurried move-in experience. We highly recommend Marcus and Catherine who are very experienced, quick and professional.

We had a splendid experience working with Kim from Key Concepts for our renovation. Even before we signed the agreement, Kim stood out with her thoughtfulness, experience and professionalism. She took the time to understand what we wanted, shared ideas based on her past work and helped us visualize our home better. Throughout the entire process, Kim was proactive, transparent and reliable. Communication was smooth as she kept us updated, advised us when we were unsure, and offered honest feedback whenever something could be improved. We appreciated how she kept everything within budget and never encouraged unnecessary spending, without compromising on the overall look and functionality. Her experience showed in how she balanced practicality, function and style while keeping it personalized. Despite additional requests or changes along the way, Kim was always accommodating and solution-oriented. She never simply said no to any idea. Instead, she would listen, assess the practicality and come back with alternatives or ways to make it work. Her willingness to explore options and find the best outcome, without compromising the overall design or budget, made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. We had met a few other IDs during the ID choosing process and ultimately chose Kim. We are certain we made the right decision. It was a renovation with no regrets and we are happy with the end result as it comes to fruition. If you are starting your renovation journey and want someone trustworthy, experienced and passionate about your renovation where you dont have to worry, we highly recommend Kim from Key Concepts!
