Interior Design Firm Singapore

Choosing an interior design firm in Singapore is harder than it should be. Hundreds of companies describe themselves the same way, quote in lump sums that hide what is excluded, and show portfolios that may or may not be their own work. This page is written to help you tell the difference — using us as the worked example.

What Separates a Design-Led Firm From a Package Seller

Most of what is sold as interior design in Singapore is a renovation package with a mood board attached. The layout barely changes, the carpentry comes from whichever subcontractor is free, and the design fee is really a margin on materials. It can be perfectly adequate. It is not design.

A design-led firm starts somewhere else entirely: with how you actually live in the space, what the property will and will not allow, and where the budget should be directed. The drawings follow that. So does the carpentry, the lighting plan, and the sequence of works. When you are comparing interior design firms in Singapore, the difference shows up in the first meeting — in whether you are shown a catalogue or asked questions.

What We Do

Residential Interior Design

HDB flats, condominiums, landed homes and penthouses — full interior design and renovation, planned around how the household actually uses the space.

Loft & High-Ceiling Specialists

Known as The Loft Builder — mezzanine structures, loft conversions and double-volume spaces. The most technically demanding residential work in Singapore, and our signature.

Commercial & Workplace

Offices, retail, F&B and clinics — planned operations-first, phased around a business that usually has to keep trading through the works.

Carpentry Made In-House

Carpentry is the largest line in most Singapore renovations. We fabricate ours at our own factory, which is why our schedules hold and our finishes stay consistent.

Five Ways to Judge Any Interior Design Firm

Use these on us, and on everyone else you are shortlisting. A firm confident in its work will not mind the questions.

1. Ask to see the licence.

   HDB works require a contractor on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors. Ours is HB-12-6290F. It takes ten seconds to verify, and it rules out a surprising number of firms.

2. Ask who makes the carpentry.

   Most firms outsource it and cannot tell you which workshop until the project starts. That single answer explains most delays and most finish-quality complaints in this industry.

3. Ask for an itemised quote, after a site visit.

   Not a package price, not a “from $X” figure. A number produced without seeing your home is a guess dressed up as a price — and the gap gets settled later, as variations.

4. Ask whose projects are in the portfolio.

   Ask for the address, the year, and who the designer was. Real projects have answers. Ours are published individually with the actual development names — browse the portfolio and check.

5. Ask what happens after handover.

   Defects appear in the first months, not the first week. Find out who you call, and whether the same team answers.

For the longer version, with the questions worth asking at each stage, read our guide on how to choose an interior design firm in Singapore.

How We Work

1. Consultation and site assessment.

   We see the actual space before we quote. Always.

2. Design development.

   Space planning and 3D visuals, so you approve a space you can already picture rather than a drawing you have to decode.

3. Itemised fixed quote.

   Line by line, against a defined scope — so there are no surprises later, in either direction.

4. Build.

   One project team, our own joinery, and coordination of every trade on site.

5. Handover and defects.

   Joint inspection, snagging closed, and the same people still reachable afterwards.

We do not publish package prices, because a figure that ignores your actual property is not useful to you. What a project costs depends on condition, scope and finish level — our renovation cost guide sets out honest market ranges before you speak to anyone.
