Had a great experience with my ID, Kika Chan! She was helpful, meticulous and knowledgeable. The whole process was easy and she really planned out everything accordingly and gave her feedback and advise where needed. There were alot of times where we were lost but she guided us and helped us through. She made our dream home came true and I’m definitely recommending her to my family and friends! 🏡.

Few months before we collected our BTO keys we started checking online for reviews renovations firms and contractors and found many scary stories about the delay in handover and high cost for the works. While searching we came across a few good reviews also and this led to messages to this firms for quotations. We somehow only met one firm, Supreme Houzz Design, their ID Yuli was first to meet us and from that moment he was a constant source of contact for various reasons from Reno related to furnitures to electronics, he never said no to our questions, always finding answers for us even if it meant he had to go ask around for it. At the end of the day he ensured our house was renovated on time and also as minimal defects as possible, even any subsequent defects were touched up before he handed over the house to us. I would recommend Supreme Houzz and Yuli in particular if anyone is looking for a reliable company and ID to ensure peace of mind in a otherwise stressful period, trust me many will tell you renovations and the waiting time to get your house handed over can seem like forever.

Thanks Yuli, you really delivered on your promise of not making us worry about the works 😊

It is my second time to approach ciseern for reno project. The 1st project was carried out 14 years ago and managed by Colin. As the excellent reno work, the design of the previous house is still good and easy to maintain after these years. Hence, I approach Colin again for the new house reno. Colin and Shermin are very responsible and helpful. The reno was completed on time and the details were well taken care. The carpentry work are wonderful, especially for celuka water proof boards used for kitchen sink area. Colin and Shermin are highly recommended if you want to a dream house!

after going through 8 ID shopping, we have decided to engage Zax as our ID. it was through word of mouth from relative whom sang praises for their services.

i had an excellent experience with Zax- from start to finish, every aspect of my interaction with them was top-notch. is an absolute design genius! as first time BTO home owners, we had our concerns on the many horror stories but with Ciseern’s long standing track record and Zax professionalism, we felt that they were the perfect choice for our home renovation!

from the initial consultation to the final handover, Zax demonstrated a keen eye for detail, creativity, and a deep understanding of space design and our needs. he has not only transformed my home but also made the entire design process enjoyable and stress-free! we felt relieved that he is able to answer all our questions promptly and handled with the minor hiccups that came along.

Zax truly listens to their clients. he took the time to understand our style, preferences, and lifestyle, resulting in a design that perfectly reflects my family’s personality.

what impressed me most was Zax’s ability to work within my budget without compromising on the quality and aesthetic of the design. we can tell that Ciseern does not compromise on quality!

throughout the project, Zax’s team has exhibited professionalism and punctuality, all the timeline was given and most importantly met!

my family of 4 now lives in a cosy and warmth place we can call home and I owe it all to Zax. we incredibly grateful for his expertise.

we are always singing praises for Zax and would recommend to anyone looking to transform their space into something they can call home!

pleasure of working with Carine and Michael f

October 27, 2023

I had the pleasure of working with Carine and Michael for our house renovation, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their enthusiasm and professionalism throughout the entire project were truly remarkable.

From the initial design concepts to the final finishing touches, Carine and Michael were dedicated to bringing our vision to life. They listened attentively to our ideas and offered valuable suggestions that enhanced the overall design. Carine and Micheal were not pushy and respected our preferences even when they disagreed with it. Their passion for interior design was present in every detail and was evident during the first meeting at the ID fair at Qanvast.

What stood out the most was their commitment to professionalism. They were always organized and maintained clear communication throughout the project. It made the entire renovation process smooth and stress-free especially for my wife when I was away and she needed to make certain decisions.

They were also very sweet to gift us a sink cover top as our wedding gift which was useful and practical.

I highly recommend Carine and Michael for any interior design project. Their enthusiasm, creativity, and professionalism are a winning combination that will undoubtedly transform your space into something truly special. Thank you, Carine and Michael, for making our renovation journey an enjoyable and successful one!

We were engaged with Xavier and Chris. First impression of them were really nice as they were friendly, engaging and detailed in explaining to all our queries. What made us decide on them was the idea of showing us 3D drawing instead of a 2D drawing, it really shows what we wanted for our dream house. From starting of renovation till the end, they were prompt in dealing with all the hiccups. Workmanship was good althoigh given time frame. Thank you for our hard work in building our dream house!

第一次見到Xavier很容易被他親切又幽默的談話與專業素養,讓我跟我太太馬上就決定把我們的新家交給他。看到成果後,讓我們相當滿意。也謝謝Chris不

不同於Xavier有點搞笑!他的沉穩又不失親切的專業涵養解說與輔助!最後感謝两位設計師完成一幅有我們想法又有兩位設計師專業的作品。

Work with them at your own risk. Work with them if you like having >2 month delays past the completion date stated to you. Checked with ID Gerard Chin multiple times to confirm the date of delivery+installation of TV, sofa, bed, curtains, to suit HIS reno progress and schedule. Already postponed delivery+installation date prior to that because reno items could not be completed. On the date of delivery+installation confirmed by ID Gerard, carpentry was still not completed, floor protection and scaffolding was still everywhere in the unit, and he expected TV sofa bed and curtains to be installed as planned. All external installation parties declined installation because my items would be damaged if installed at that time. All external parties had to reschedule. In a separate incident, ID Gerard and his electrician (attitude is not great) kept us waiting for 2 hours past the scheduled meeting time of 10 AM. He was not responding to texts during the 1st 45 min of the 2 h we were kept waiting. ID Gerard will tell you “renovation is like that one, don’t need to get angry”. If anyone out there is looking for this kind of EXCITING reno experience, please go ahead and work with him. He did apologise after the above events occurred, but the apologies turned out to be empty because the rest of the reno progress did not improve and continued to have multiple delays with no explanation (e.g. “I think painter will not come today”) and no updates without us having to chase for them. Our renovation experience ended with us asking 3x over 2 working days for updates (NOT asking WHY something is not done, but just for UPDATES), and ID Gerard replying with essentially: if we want to hunt him down at his office, he will wait for us to hunt, and told us “usually such hunts go 2 ways”. Wow what an EXCITING experience with Visionary Interior!

How To Create Your Ideal Dream Home In Singapore

No matter if you’re renovating your home or building your home, the project is bound to get out of hand and spin out of control. It can become challenging for you to manage the things going around in your home and workplace simultaneously.

The best way to get both projects done at the right time without you losing your head is to hire the services of an interior designer. But hiring a good interior designer isn’t that simple. In this blog, we are going to guide you on how you can choose the best interior designer in Singapore that can help you in creating your ideal home.

1. Identify What You Want

In Singapore, there is a specific interior designer for each home theme. You need to research and find interior designers that work according to the theme that you want.

Whether you’re thinking of styling your home in a Russian or a Scandinavian theme or you’re thinking of something minimalistic. There are a large number of Singaporean interior designers that you can choose from by looking at their portfolio.

2. Look For Interior Designers

You can’t just hand over your dream home interior design project to just about anyone in Singapore. You need to look for interior designers that are good in their job and know what they are doing. Good interior designers can help you take the aesthetic appeal of your home up to the next level.

There are a lot of interior design companies in Singapore that you can look at. While choosing an interior design company, you need to carry out extensive surveys. There are a lot of interior designing companies in Singapore that can help you get the perfect home design.

Finding good interior designers willing to work in your budget is also an arduous task in itself. The sites and apps available online to search for interior designers are also very complicated and can quickly get confusing for many people. Many homeowners spend months searching for the right interior designer.

Initially, we would recommend that you contact around ten companies for your project. Each company will have approximately ten or so interior designers that you will have to meet.

The discovery time is the time that you need to be the most vigilant; you need to evaluate and judge every interior designer that you meet carefully and make sure that your personality and the designers’ personality is compatible and that it matches to some extent. Having similar personalities and preferences can help you a lot in the planning and execution stage.

Many people claim that choosing the right interior designer is essential because this person is supercritical and can make or break your game. You need to find a person that can understand what you want and also thinks and approaches things precisely in the way you would. You also need to look at the budget while deciding an interior designer.

It is recommended to choose and shortlist at least three interior designers for your project, make sure that these people are friendly and safe enough to be let loose into your home.

3. Why Should You Look For Interior Designers

If I am to say this in the simplest ways, interior designers truly help you to bring out the beauty in your home, and they help you in so many ways. Interior designers help relieve the stress and burden of designing your place, and they also have extensive experience in the projects that they do.

Interior designers also have many contacts in the industry and can get numerous jobs done for much cheaper than if you had to get them done themselves. They also know what works and what doesn’t due to their massive years of training and experience and can help you make excellent structures that are long-lasting and have an amazing visual appeal.

They also work with your project and help you come up with innovative solutions and help you construct bridges with what you want and what is achievable.

4. Do Your Research

If you’re hiring an interior designer through an agency, you should always do your research on the interior designer. Ask them for a portfolio of his or her previous projects and make your decision based on what you see.

If you’re hiring an interior designer through an agency, you should always do your research on the interior designer. Ask them for a portfolio of his or her previous projects and make your decision based on what you see.

5. Check Interior Designing Platform

In Singapore, there are a lot of different platform available through which people can log in and check different interior designers and also view their portfolios. Renopedia is reportedly the best platform for this task as it lets you see the collection of the designers and doesn’t focus itself mostly on the designers.

The platform is designed in a user-friendly way, which means that you can scroll through many projects and pick the projects you like and contact the relevant interior designer. The platform can help you save up on much time and can help you find a good interior designer quicker.

6. Look For Reviews And Recommendations Online

Interior designing is a long term project, and it is always best to do detailed research before hiring anyone for the task. You can check reviews on their Facebook pages and search on other platforms as well.

You can search online for reviews and get recommendations about the particular agency that you are hiring. Even google often has detailed reviews about almost everything. Reviews and suggestions can help you gain peace of mind and also help you be more confident while hiring a particular person.

You can also ask for reviews from friends and family who have recently gotten their homes designed by an interior designer. You might end up finding a good interior designer that lives nearby through a personal connection.

Word of mouth is a powerful tool and can be crucial in helping and guiding you towards making the correct choice while choosing an interior designer. There are often a lot of fake reviews up on the internet, and it is always better to choose an interior designer that is recommended by someone in your close circle.

Online reviews and recommendations can help you find the best interior designer in Singapore.

7. Get To Know Your Designer Skin Deep

While interviewing your designer, you need to ask him or her multiple questions that will help you see their approach and also help you understand how they tackle obstacles. You can ask them questions about their favorite projects, and this can help you learn a lot about their designing style and their personal preferences.

You can then make judgments and evaluations and judge whether or not the interior designer would be the right choice for you or not. Knowing their favorite projects will also help you make valuable deductions about their preferred working styles and will also let you know beforehand whether or not they will be able to incorporate most of your ideas into the design.

8. Give Time To Your Project

A common mistake many homeowners make is that they hand over all the reins of the project to the interior designers. Giving all the controls to the interior designers is a big mistake as it often ends up in the designer making all the home décor choices by themselves without any input from you.

This control can also end up in disastrous aftermaths meaning that you could end up with an interior design that you hate.

However, it is also very rare for a client to love everything about a designer. There will naturally be some areas where your designer will fall short in which is pretty natural, considering the scope and intensity of the project.

There will also always be budget constraints while designing the home, and naturally, you and your designer both will have to make compromises on the design. You will also need to keep an open mind and be open to the designer’s suggestions.

Interior designers have been in the industry for very long and have also worked on various projects way before your project came in. They possess extensive knowledge of what works and what doesn’t, and you should always make use of the suggestions and insights you get from your designer as it can help you save more significant amounts of money.

9. Only Choose The Interior Designer That Checkmarks All The Points

It is essential only to choose a designer that fits your budget and also is the best fit for your goal. Interior designing is an arduous task and requires hours and hours of effort, and there is also substantial supervision of the construction workers at work.

You need to choose a designer that you can trust since he will be on the site more than you will be, and because of the nature of the task, he will also have a much better idea of the approximate costs of each material that is put in.

There are a lot of tiny things that go into the design of a home, and it can quickly get overwhelming for you, and if you’re someone that works, you simply won’t be able to commit the time in getting involved in the project.

Therefore you must find an interior designer that fits your budget and also has a similar design sense as you. Take all the time you want to decide because this decision is an important one.

10. Make Sure That Your Designer Is Qualified And Also Insured.

Making sure that your designer is qualified and ensured is an essential step. You do not want to be working with a designer that does not have the necessary qualifications and also does not have the licenses required for the home design project.

In most projects, the use of heavy equipment is required, and you do not want to end up facing an additional liability in case of an accident or unfortunate incident with your designer or any of the workers.

It is also recommended to practice the same precautions while hiring the services of contractors. All the workers should be ensured so that if there is any problem, you do not have to face a lawsuit or cover any medical expenses.

11. Sign A Contract

Once you’ve been able to filter out the best candidate for your dream home project, you need to get a written contractual agreement that binds the interior designer. The contract acts as a form of security for both you and your interior designer.

It ensures the designer that you will pay for the service you avail, and it binds the designer, which means that the person has to complete the project and can’t abandon it.

Everyone wants their home to be perfect and also well designed. It is a dream for many Singaporeans to be able to own their place. However, it is essential for you to not to panic during the project and approach everything with a cool head.

Because of the nature of this project, small problems and mishaps are bound to happen, and it is okay. The designer is not perfect, and neither are you. All you need to do is be dedicated and not let small problems get to your head.

Modern interior design theme vs contemporary interior design theme in Singapore

Are you looking to transform the look of your property this year? You are not alone. Every year thousands of homeowners across Singapore look to update their homes but when it comes to choosing the right interior design it can be incredibly tough. There are so many different styles, themes and designs to choose from, knowing which the perfect solution is to incorporate into your property can be difficult.

 

The biggest choice that many homeowners will face will be whether to choose a modern interior design, or a more contemporary interior design. These two styles are arguably the most prevalent around the world and for a number of years they have been the most popular choice for interior designers; but we are often asked by customers what the difference between the two are and which one they should choose for their property.

 

If you are new to interior design, then you may well confuse the two as being the same styling choice – after all contemporary is a synonym of modern, however they are actually two very different designs.  So to help you with your decision, we have taken a closer look at both the modern interior design and contemporary interior design styles in Singapore, but before we look at the differences and similarities between the two, it is important to understand exactly what each style means….

 

Contemporary interior design

As the name suggests, contemporary interior design does incorporate certain elements of modern design but it does also have its own unique style that makes it instantly recognisable. The history of contemporary interior design Singapore first began to appear in homes during the 1970s and the style incorporates a wide range of aesthetics and styling from different design influences – including traditional, modern and futuristic as well as art deco.

 

Contemporary means ‘of the moment’ which means that the style is constantly changing year on year, so it is arguably one of the most exciting styles of design out there. What is a hot and popular trend today might not necessarily be the case in a few years’ time – so be prepared to update and change your home more frequently if you want to remain on trend!

 

Modern interior design in Singapore

Modern interior design in Singapore on the other hand is a set style that uses inspiration from the early to mid-20th century. Heavily based on designs originating from Germany as well as various Scandinavian counties, it became incredibly popular in the 1940s-60s and since then has undergone various evolutions, with most interior designers today using a post-modern design as the default styling guide.

 

The emergence of modern interior design was swift and the styling swept across the globe very quickly as homeowners looked for a beautiful, yet affordable, solution for their homes and furniture. The overall design is based on a clutter-free ethos, removing any unnecessary details and using a one-colour style that is free from any patterns to create a clear minimalist balance.   

 

So what are some of the differences?

Both styles have very clear differences and feature a range of unique designs and hallmarks that helps to define them. Contemporary interior design in Singapore for example embraces the use of natural materials, which are often mixed in with industrial-style materials such as concrete and steel. On the other hand, modern design has a streamlined image that features an abundance of wood and eco-friendly, natural materials.

 

Equally, modern design places a strong focus on ensuring that everything in the room has a purpose; meaning that everything you see has a set function and is not simply there for aesthetics. This is in contrast to contemporary interior design which places more focus on the beauty and form of objects as part of the wider styling objective.

 

Although modern-designed homes are created to ensure that everything has a purpose, they are not cold or empty spaces. Minimalism does not mean that you cannot install warmth and many modern interior homes feature natural, earthier colours that feature natural hues with common shades including turquoise, brown and green. 

 

Contemporary designed homes however focus on using a strict palette of black, grey or white to create a stark contrast between rooms. That is not to say there cannot be splashes of colour within the design though – with bright colours such as red, blue or orange being a frequent choice for interior designers.

 

Another major difference between the two is the fact that contemporary interior design places a strong focus on blending comfort and sophistication, using materials such as stainless steel and chrome to create a smooth flow throughout the property with fluid, curved lines. Modern interior design tends to focus more on strong, straight lines.

 

What about similarities?

Both designs have clear styling differences, but they do still share a number of similar design hues. Contemporary interior design often borrows inspiration from modern design and because of that both styles place a strong emphasis on minimalism; using clean lines to help create a timeless feel.

 

Equally both tend to open each room out, helping to create a spacious feel for the homeowner by maximising the layout and creating an open plan design throughout the property. This helps to create a relaxed, comfortable feeling for homeowners, allowing a smooth transition through the home.

 

Another similarity that modern and contemporary interior design shares, is their preferences for a simple and uncluttered styling; ensuring no heavy or patterned designs or large cumbersome furniture. Equally they both focus on the use of wood floorings, exposed brick and furniture legs as well as the use of reclaimed natural materials.

 

So which is right for your home?

When it comes to choosing which style to incorporate into your home, it depends on a multitude of options. There is no right or wrong decision, modern interior design has been a popular choice for a number of decades and is featured in homes throughout the world and the fact that the styling hues have remained similar, helps ensure that the styling is static in nature; meaning it will help to ensure that your home will remain in style for a number of years.

 

On the other hand, contemporary interior design focuses on what is currently popular; ensuring that the style is incredibly fluid and changes with each and every year that passes. This means that what might have been popular in 2015 is not necessarily the case today so if you want to remain on trend and in keep with what is currently the most fashionable choices in the world, then contemporary design is perfect for your home.

 

Both contemporary and modern interior designs share a number of stylistic hues, incorporating a range of influences from multiple sources, but if you are not sure which is most suited to your home then get in touch with our experienced team today.
