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’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 had a great experience working with Kavin and Andy on our office renovation. It was quite an urgent project with a very tight timeline, and we needed the work done quickly. They understood the urgency and were quick to respond throughout the process. Whenever issues arose, they took ownership and made sure everything was promptly and properly resolved. We especially appreciated his willingness to see things through, which made the renovation much less stressful for us. Renovating an office involves many moving parts, so having someone responsive and dependable made a real difference, especially under time pressure. Thank you, Kavin, for your hard work and support throughout the project. We would happily recommend him to anyone planning a renovation!

This is the 2nd time we engaged Brian Er for his service. Throughout the process, he has been prompt in responding to all of our queries and clarifications. Any issues that came up before and after the renovation process have been promptly and effectively dealt with. Our experience with Brian has shown that he is capable in executing the project well. We needed to renovate under a tight timeline and Brian helped us to complete it within our intended timeline.

I had a great experience working with my renovation ID, Derrick Hong from T&T Design Artisan, throughout my renovation journey. Derrick is resourceful, patient, sincere and responsible. He is always willing to offer different options and suggestions for me to consider, giving me the confidence to make informed decisions. His easy-going nature makes him pleasant to communicate with, and he has a reassuring way of making you feel grounded and at ease, even when unexpected issues arise. He has a good eye for aesthetics and is confident in his recommendations, while always taking my preferences and concerns into consideration. There were some challenges along the way, as is common in any renovation project, but Derrick was quick to take action and arrange for his workers to resolve the issues. Even when he was on leave, he remained responsive and ensured that everything was properly followed up on. This level of responsibility and commitment is something I truly appreciate. Renovation can be a stressful process, so having a reliable ID who is responsible, responsive and willing to go the extra mile makes a real difference. I am grateful for Derrick’s patience, support and dedication throughout the entire renovation journey. I would gladly recommend Derrick and T&T Design Artisan to anyone looking for a dependable renovation team that genuinely cares about its clients and their homes. Highly recommended!

Eugene was referred by a good friend that had previously engaged Decor 8 for renovation. Upon meeting him for the first time, not only that he understands our requirement, but he also proposed creative ideas that no one had come up with. As me and my wife were both travelling a lot, Eugene manage to update us promptly. Dateline was very crucial to us, not only he fulfill the timeline, but he handed over earlier than expected. Kudos to the team and of course last but not least to Decor 8. Will definitely spread the good word across to our friends and families!

Damien has been very helpful and managed our project without much hiccups. Always quick to prompt us regarding any site issues. Most importantly, he kept to our tight dateline for handover.. Will recommend to fellow home owners who are still looking out for a good ID to work wIth.

Had a really great renovation experience with Rou Yi! From the start, we could vibe really well, and she understood exactly what I wanted for my home. The whole renovation process was smooth and fuss-free, with no major issues along the way. She kept closely to the schedule and was very attentive to the details. Really appreciate how easy she made the entire renovation journey. Super glad to have engaged her and would definitely recommend Rou Yi to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-work-with ID!

Really happy with how our house turned out! 😊 Our ID, Jo Sim was very responsive throughout the renovation and always willing to help whenever we had questions or concerns. We also appreciate her patience in accommodating our last-minute changes and additional requests. Whenever we encountered any issues, she would help us work through them and suggest alternative solutions. Renovation can be quite stressful, but having an ID who is flexible, approachable and willing to help really makes a difference. Thank you for all your effort in helping us turn our ideas into reality. We love how our home turned out and are happy to recommend her to anyone.
