Singapore Colour Consulting Professionals

“I passed by Arete culture by coincidence while browsing for furniture around Tan Boon Liat building and found this amazing shop with beautiful decoration items and furniture. Definitely worth to visit shop itself! I wished for some time to change my living room as it had few heavy antique pieces mixed with modern teak furniture and the whole space looked heavy with lots of wood. I shared my problem with Juline and she was on spot with few ideas on how to brighten and soften the space. Arete is offering a design in a day service. Having a makeover and problem solved in a day sounded to me perfect given my limited time and I decided to go for it. Juline took over the project and she was amazing in terms of ideas, responsiveness, professionalism and design knowledge. Also very comforting and kind personality, assessing your needs, but at the same time bold to give suggestions and probe them. During our initial meeting at my place she assessed my taste in terms of style, colour, space, compositions, which was extremely important to me. She provided her recommendations and her selection of items, which I had a chance to view and pick in Arete's warehouse before the makeover day. She did an excellent selection to my taste with incredible ideas adding sea elements and white to teal colour. On a makeover day she went beyond the initial agreement, spent more effort than necessary decorating my home and made a place beautiful and beyond my expectations. I would certainly recommend Juline and Arete for any makeovers. Paying attention to customer taste and needs, but at the same time putting individual flavour into the makeover. The result is amazing, the place looks beautiful, relaxed and classy. The home I look much more forward to return to and spend time at. Thanks to Arete and Juline.”

“Priya styled the global eclectic furniture and home decor store that I opened recently. It is amazing how in one glance of our product range, she was able to configure the pieces into a home setting. Our store had a classic collection and a rustic industrial collection which I thought was difficult to integrate, but Priya made it happen highly effectively. I was also made aware of Priya's expertise in textiles, cushions, texture and colour. She is one of the rare interior decorators in Singapore that encourage clients to play with the said elements of design. Priya then designed our cushions. She took our existing tropical-printed cottons and matched them with her own selection of rich silks to make luxurious pillow cushions that are a cut above the rest. You can view Priya's designs in Departures & Arrivals, Singapore. They complement a variety of looks and colour schemes. This is Priya's expertise. I would highly recommend Priya if you seek a breath of fresh air in your home!”

“We were so tired from consulting various IDs but failing to find the right match... until we met Alvin from the Local Innterior. We went to Alvin with a preconceived idea of what design we wanted, and fiancé even had a drawn up detailed floorplan. But Alvin, who got our style and vibes from the get go, became the new player in our team, giving us ideas on how to improve our plans, and also serving as the tie breaker when we were undecided about furniture choices/carpentry detailing. Throughout the process, his attention to detail, keen sense of style, meticulous care, and amazing contactability (he even attended to us at midnight at times, when we had a sudden moment of “inspiration” while in bed) meant that we never felt uncared for. There was never an intractable difficulty, and every bump along the way was carefully communicated to us by Alvin, who would brainstorm creative solutions to nurse our 40 year old resale HDB into the present state it is in today. We really pushed Alvin so hard (we converted a single toilet into two toilets, tore down many walls, did extensive carpentry work) all while working within tight timelines for moving in, and amidst the pandemic as well. Alvin really over delivered, and we have moved in for three weeks now to nothing but positive reviews of our place. We end this review with some photos for your consideration (unfortunately these photos are taken on our old iPhones and don’t do justice to the place), and at risk of boring you, we couldn’t recommend Alvin and the Local Innterior more!!! We couldn’t be more happy”

“Ernest is a dedicated Interior Designer that everyone can trust. He is very professional, possess good knowledge and advises us on the layouts, colour schemes and designs. The renovation was for my in-laws who are at their advanced age and he’s shown patience and explained to the elderly folks on the tiny details. My in-laws appreciated that and liked the overall renovation. Good job Ernest! Worth recommending to anyone who needs the service.”

“As a first time home owner, it was paramount for us to select the correct interior design firm to do up our home. My wife and I were contacted by many I.Ds but we eventually selected Design 4 Space. We were especially impressed with how the renovation was handled. From design, to planning, to the execution and finally the hand over. Our I.D Albert explained to me in details and provide me brilliant ideas for the renovation of my flat. His attitude towards his clients is pleasant and thoroughly a professional. I will not hestitate to recommend Design 4 Space to my friends and relatives for the price, quality,workmanship and reliability.”

“We first saw one of FSI's project in a Square Room magazine and it was pleasant and similar to what we like. After initial discussions, we decided to go with FSI for our renovation and started collaborating with Raymond and Jovie on our home. We wanted a modern Scandinavian theme that was simple and elegant. Suffice to say, FSI delivered and we are happy with the renovation process and results. Here are the some of the areas that we would like to especially commend them on: 1) Design process and 3-D drawings We had several rounds of meetings where Raymond took us through his design proposals. He was attentive to our requirements and provided good suggestions and advice to us, striking a balance on aesthetics and practicality, which was valuable. The 3-D drawings FSI provided were realistic and better helped us in visualizing the various styles, colours and ideas. They were willing to continually update the drawings based on our feedback. Impressively, our home turned out to be very close to the 3-D renderings. 2) Onsite supervision and coordination Jovie did a fantastic job onsite working with their various contractors, and even coordinating with some external vendors that we engaged. She was thorough and detailed, and kept us updated on the renovation progress daily. She was also quick to respond to our concerns and would do her best to resolve any issues we encountered. Her attitude, dedication and attention to detail really stood out. 3) Keeping to the schedule As we were renting a place, we had a tight timeline to meet and communicated it early. FSI was able to plan and come up with a schedule and kept to it, and delivered the project on time. Even after the project was handed over, they continued to follow-up with us. Overall, we are pleased with our experience with FSI. Thank you Raymond and Jovie!”

“I was recommended by a colleague, Nevertheless I did choose this company, namely Ronald to handle , because I did not want some inexperienced youngster to handle my new place.. (lol) (ps: because I do personally know some inexperienced friends who joined this line) Secondly, I would say I am fairly detailed, nitty gritty, and am on a shoe string budget, so while somewhere else may seem to offer a lower price, they may not seem to know what I want. (And I needed to know all that in the first meetup) For a low budget place, basically we have went thru the colours, kitchen island dimensions, type of hinge used, drawer dimensions etc I cant give it a 5 stars coz, I have no basis for comparison ( as I do not have any other experiences with other contractors.) Still from reviews from people around me, I know that its a fairly good job done, and I would highly recommend this company to my friends :)”

“Eloycois is a very responsible and creative individual, who takes note of his client's preferences and makes sure the final result is satisfactory. He helped us work on renovating our entire house, and this was when he was still working with his previous company, Ciseern.”

“When i hired Aiden T I was moving from a beautiful house to a condo due to my husbands passing away, I was sad and didn't really want to make this move, This company was just amazing, kind and supported me all thru the process, I was not very hands on, as soon as id chosen fabrics paint colours etc, i pretty much left it to them and only viewed twice, they completed the whole apartment renovation in fact we changed everything (new floors, walls knocked gown, kitchen installed, toilets completely changed etc etc) in less than 5 weeks without any delay or stress, they came the day i moved in to help, it was really an easy and wonderful experience to have found them.”

“Jas and Andre of Sugarbakers Pte Ltd are a highly creative team in terms of design and execution. We have engaged them sometime ago for our new apartment and I have to say i was highly impressed by their dedication, patience ( as we had more than a fair share of revisions) and professionalism in getting the job done well and in time. No hesitation in recommending them to anyone. Great job guys!”
