We decided on TMS primarily because of their aesthetic. Their take on scandi-muji minimalism resonated with us much more than other IDs who were perhaps not as experienced or comfortable with this theme. Their colour choice, colour balance, textures, and form were very much to our liking.
We met Yiling, Keith, and Naz in August and confirmed with them soon after. Got our keys end October, and started physical renovation in mid November. TMS wasted no time and immediately got started on off-site works while we awaited key collection. I think TMS did great overall in managing the project. Like any other project, we encountered a series of obstacles along the way. However, I think TMS managed them well by keeping communication strong between all the involved parties.
These were our key takeaways:
-Highlights-
+ Overall design and final result were on point.
+ Very responsible, responsive, and receptive.
+ Experienced and communicative network of contractors.
+ Very good time management and projection despite covid hindrances.
+ Provides regular updates to ensure that we know what is going on.
-Improvement Points-
- In our particular case, final touch-ups could be more rigorous.
- While understanding that creative firms take a lot of pride in their work, it helps to be a little less defensive during disagreements.
Overall I feel TMS did a great job with our house despite the many works and challenges. We are very happy with the end result, a big thanks to TMS and their network of contractors!

I was in a rush to move and the TMS team managed to complete the renovations in 3.5 months despite covid pandemic, year end and cny holidays. TMS is reliable and responsive, with skilled workmen. I would recommend TMS to fuss-free folks who are looking for simple and clean designs.

TMS played a pivotal role in getting our very first home ready and we enjoyed working with them:
- They were efficient - we got something done with every touch point (e.g. decision on toilet floor and wall tiles took just a few hours). This is great as we are usually quite time-starved, though this may not always be suited for people who look for a lot of engagement
- The workmanship is good - the look and feel matched what we wanted, and the overall build is sturdy.
- Yiling and Keith are very easy to work with - they responded quickly (within same working day) to our questions and were patient when we had follow-ups/ wanted to change certain decisions
- Outside of the immediate renovation, they also gave us good tips on the maintenance of the house - really appreciate all these advice!

My family was looking for an ID who could give our home a contemporary design, with lots of storage space without an overbearing number of furniture and still keeping the house interior bright and roomy. We shortlisted and met a couple of IDs but finally settled for The Minimalist Society, as we felt they were passionate about their role and products, open to new ideas, communicative and professional. The Minimalist Society was ready to share about the pros and cons (costs included) of various aspects of home design, which was much appreciated by parties like us who are not familiar with its intricacies and nuances.
The renovation works started just before Circuit Breaker kicked in and resumed after Circuit Breaker ended and kudos to The Minimalist Society for being able to progress the renovation works in good time despite the various pandemic related challenges. We are very happy with what The Minimalist Society has delivered.

I first came across TMS when I was finding ID to do renovation for my house. After looking through their portfolios, the designs left an impression in my mind. As my husband and I have the intention to renovate our house with the Scandinavian/Minimalist look, we felt that TMS fits what we have in mind. During our first appointment with them, the TMS team listened to our ideas and gave us some suggestions to think about. We felt comfortable with their ideas and working style and decided to go ahead and engaged them as our ID. After engaging them, TMS was always patient in answering our concerns and they were also open to feedback/ideas that we have along the way. Although we did our renovation during the post CB period where there were a lot of restrictions in place, TMS kept us updated of the progress and managed to finish the work in the time frame promised. It has been a pleasant renovation journey with TMS.

Excellent work and service. We 'clicked' with their design and work philosophy from the beginning. TMS is not your run-of-the-mill interior designer who simply follow your every whim. They will give honest feedback, and provide suggestions on improving your house. The result is a beautiful, warm and cozy home.
That being said, there are several hiccups in the project. But they are minor, and handled professionally, and in the end, project is completed on time. Cost wise, they are not the cheapest, but not expensive as well.
In summary, we had a very pleasant experience working with them, resulting in having our dream home. Thumbs up for the team!

We are happy that we engaged TMS because our renovation was able to meet deadline and the quality of work done was fantastic. Our BTO takeover was later than expected, as such the renovation was pushed into the next quarter. TMS brought forward material selections such that work was able to start without delay after takeover.
No doubt there were hiccups along the way during the renovation, however we were able to overcome them with the help of TMS. We noticed some of the workmen even came down on weekend evenings to complete the work, and the quality of materials and workmanship was really top notch. We are satisfied with the outcome of the renovation.

I have searched the website for small unit renovation idea and could not find any to my liking. Managed to narrow down two designer and visit them.
First designer is an architect by profession, his idea is to create space for small unit condo, means knocking down the master bedroom to combine with the living… though did create space but living room is gone, not what I visualise to be my home.
Then I came to The Minimalist Society, met up with Julie the designer and she gave an introduction of their design concept … keep it simple but effective and efficient use of space.
This was exactly what I am looking to fit into my 500sqft condo. Julie attentively listen to my idea and vision of what I want to have on the finish result of my unit. After a length of Q&A without hesitation, I inked the contract with them to start the design work and the rest is history.
The whole duration from design phase to material selection, to construction phase and handover was a breeze. Basically, have the option of active participation in the process or seat back relax and wait for the final result. I participated in the material selection with Julie, handover the keys to her, settle the permit to work and leave the rest to her. I received progressive picture via Whatapps and could see the progress of the work, putting piece by piece together as what I see on the 3-D design. The day when I collect my keys is when I really appreciate the design being materialise seeing the actual built up. The major work is carpentry, I really appreciate their good workmanship and also the painting and electrical works.
Julie designed all custom-built furniture to maximise space, I only bought 2 piece of furniture which is a high chair for dining and a chair for study table.
A 500sqft condo unit that comes with 2 bedrooms, TMS make full use of every corner with custom-built feature and minimise buying loose furniture. The Minimalist Society done it, amazing!
Thank you, Julie and your team.

Awesome work by TMS team Yiling, Keith, Julia and Eunice. Their earnest and forthcoming approach towards the whole renovation process had made it such a breeze for us. Kelvin and I were initially slightly apprehensive when we were searching for ID/contracters . We were glad we finally chose TMS as they were very open and had very sound knowledge on interior design/ carpentry work!
Our initial concept turned out exactly what we envisioned it to be. Our twin boy's bedroom was a major feat as we had quite an ambitious complicated idea on the bunk bed and platform. Yi Ling and Julia fine tuned the ideas and made it possible! Their suggestions on colour coordinates to wood laminates are also always very enpointe! In addition, t
Most importantly, the team is always there when we need them for advice. Just a phone call or message away. Be it furniture shopping or schedules coordination.
Thank you TMS for building our dream home!

The renovation process hinges a lot on trust and the team kept it well throughout the process. Frankly at our stage of life we do have a lot of things to manage and renovation is something we hope to be the last of our worries, while juggling alongside wedding and work commitments. We heard from our friends how the renovation process was a nightmare for them but we were thankful to have the good fortune of chancing upon TMS and got to work with them really well from the start to the end. The end result has been nothing short of stellar and coming back to a comfortable at the end of the day is something we look forward to always. This review might be a little overdue but we really like to thank the team and let you know we appreciate what you did for us.

It was truly a great pleasure to have engaged TMS for the renovation of my new home. I feel that the company has really streamlined their work flow, offering their services in an efficient, friendly and all-round competent manner. As a first-time home owner, I felt reassured and quite impressed along the way with TMS! Yiling, Keith and Julie were on-the-ball, patient, organised and very committed throughout, keeping me updated on the renovation process and addressing my concerns while also providing alternatives and suggestions where needed for my new home. A focussed and fuss-free work ethic from a team I would definitely recommend - thumbs up to all at TMS!

The TMS team was meticulous with their planning, even though the project was relatively small. They managed to complete the renovations well ahead of schedule and were very accommodating with our requirements. We are very pleased with the results, especially my daughter, as the bedroom turned out very well and functional. The rest of the house additions were also completed without any fuss and of great quality. The team was always very responsive and professional. As a matter of fact, this is our 4th house that we have owned, so we are no stranger to the in-and-outs of renovation. We would certainly not hesitate to engage TMS if the opportunity arises again. Thank you TMS!
