Our 10 picks for interior design firms in Singapore

Friendly picks for BTO and resale renovations, from polished boutique studios to reliable full-service IDs.

Tried and asked around by the SGRecommends crew · Updated July 2026 · How we choose

THE SHORT ANSWER

Our top pick is Starry Homestead for its strong BTO and resale portfolio, clear process, CaseTrust-RCMA status and steady homeowner feedback.

Choosing an interior design firm in Singapore is less about the prettiest render and more about fit: who understands HDB rules, who can explain costs clearly, who updates you without chasing, and who has actually handled homes like yours. For BTOs, space planning, storage and material choices matter most. For resale flats, check how they handle hacking, plumbing, old wiring, defects and timeline risk.

We would shortlist two or three firms, bring the same floor plan and brief to each, then compare how specific their advice is. A good ID should ask about how you cook, work, clean, host and store things before talking style. Ask for an itemised quotation, project schedule, warranty terms, HDB licence or accreditation where relevant, and recent completed homes you can study beyond the showroom shots.

Good to know

How much should I budget for an HDB renovation in Singapore?

It depends on flat size, condition and carpentry. BTOs usually cost less than resale flats because there is less hacking and repair work. Always compare itemised quotes, not package headlines.

Should I choose a big ID firm or a boutique studio?

Big firms can offer more process, showrooms and contractor depth. Boutique studios may give a more personal design eye. The right choice is the designer, project handling and quotation clarity.

What should I ask before signing with an interior designer?

Ask who manages the site, how updates are given, what is excluded, how variations are approved, what warranty applies, and whether permits are handled for HDB works.

How do I avoid renovation disputes?

Put every material, brand, measurement, timeline, payment milestone and variation in writing. Keep decisions in one chat or email thread and do not rely on verbal promises.
