Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I hire an interior design firm when I can manage the renovation myself?
Sure, some homeowners prefer to DIY or coordinate with contractors directly—but here’s the thing: renovation in Singapore isn’t just about choosing tiles or paint. It’s about permits, HDB guidelines, space planning, lighting, and hundreds of decisions that can quickly become overwhelming. Hiring a firm means having a team that takes care of everything—project management, technical compliance, and design synergy—so you avoid costly mistakes and delays. More time for you, less stress, and a stunning result that looks like it came from a magazine? That’s a win.
Isn’t hiring an ID firm expensive?
It depends on who you work with. Not all ID firms are out to burn your wallet. A good firm will help you make smarter, cost-effective decisions that stay within budget without cutting corners. Plus, our transparent pricing means no hidden costs—just value for every dollar spent. Sometimes, spending wisely now saves you from overspending later.
What if I already have my own ideas or moodboard? Will the ID still help?
Absolutely—we love when homeowners bring their vision to the table! Think of us as your creative partner. We take your inspiration and elevate it with layout planning, material sourcing, and cohesive styling to ensure it works in real life, not just on Pinterest. Our job isn’t to override your ideas, but to bring them to life beautifully and practically.
How long will the renovation take if I hire an ID firm?
With an ID firm, timelines are managed professionally. While every project varies, having a team to coordinate with vendors, contractors, and suppliers keeps everything on track. You won’t have to chase after multiple parties—we do the heavy lifting, so you can move in faster and smoother.
How do I know if an ID firm is reliable?
Great question. Look out for HDB-licensed firms, transparent reviews, detailed portfolios, and clear contracts. A reliable ID firm won’t just promise a good-looking home—they’ll prove it with process, professionalism, and people who genuinely care about your home. Ask about past projects and how they handle after-sales service. That’s where true reliability shows.
