Residential Interior Design

Q: What is the difference between residential interior design and commercial interior design?

Residential interior design refers to designing the interiors of newly constructed homes or redesigning an existing home as part of a renovation project while commercial interior design refers to designing the interiors of commercial places like office spaces , banks, hotels, restaurants , hospitals, and other administrative facilities. Residential interior design in Singapore can constitute designing HDB flats, condominiums, and landed properties. Residential and commercial interior design differ from each other in the kind of feel they want people to get when they enter the premises. Residential designing is all about creating comfortable and cosy spaces based on the personalized preferences and tastes of homeowners and their families. On the other hand, commercial interior design focuses more on creating an ergonomic environment for the employees to increase their productivity as well as to create good user experiences for the visitors and guests.

Q: What is the average residential interior design cost in Singapore?

For residential interior design in Singapore, you can expect an average cost of at least SG$2,000 to SG$5,000 for a basic interior project for a small HDB. As the size of the house increases and depending on the complexity of the interior design, the cost can go up to SG$10,000 or even more. Hence, the cost for residential interior design can vary from one project to the other depending on its requirements and complexity.

Q: What are the factors that affect the costs of residential interior design?

When hiring an interior designer in Singapore, you must keep in mind that there are several factors that affect how the designer will charge for the complete design project. These factors include: Scope — The main factor determining the cost of an interior design project is its scope. As a client, you must be clear in defining the scope of work, your time and budget constraints, and all your preferences regarding the space as they will determine the cost of the overall project. House size — Your house size and layout also plays a role in determining what it is going to cost for designing its interior. The bigger the house, the greater will be the scope of work and the more expensive it will be. Interior design style — The particular residential interior design style you choose for the space will also affect its cost. Some design styles call for expensive and unique elements that may cost you much more as compared to its simpler counterpart. Experience of the designer — The more experienced the interior designer is, chances are that they will charge relatively more from clients because they promise clients the best quality products and services for which they have established their reputation. The client can then be assured that the reputable designer will complete the project in the most effective way with the highest standards.

Q: Which residential interior design style is in demand in Singapore?

Many different residential interior design styles are popular among Singapore homeowners but one style which definitely takes the lead in this regard is the Scandinavian interior. The Scandinavian style is popular for its highly sophisticated and minimalist outlook which helps create a beautiful and functional home. Because of its light neutral palette and minimalist approach, it has the ability to make even a small home look spacious and wide. This makes it a popular choice among homeowners of smaller HDBs.

Q: Do I need an architect or a residential interior designer?

Architects and interior designers have very different jobs. If you need to build or change the structure of the house, change the outer appearance of the house, or if anything needs to be done to the house’s exterior or walls, you need an architect. However, if you are concerned about the design and function of the interior, the color palettes, furnishings, decorative elements, fabrics, and any other element that will change the outlook of the house’s interior, you need an interior designer for that.

Modern

Modern residential interior design refers to the interiors that became popular in the mid 20th century. They were characterized by the use of natural materials, neutral color palettes, and lots of natural light. In the current era, this design style has been tweaked to depict homes with monochromatic hues, clean and straight lines, and sleek furniture. The use of natural materials and plants still remains a salient feature of this style.

Modern Scandinavian

Characterized by a pastel color palette in shades of beige, cream, and off-white, this interior design style creates a sophisticated and elegant space that stands out as a spacious abode. The use of light-colored wood and functional elements makes this style a must have for anyone who wishes to create a simple, sophisticated home.

Modern Classic

If you are looking for a timeless interior that will stand the test of time and impress anyone who visits your home, then the modern classic interior is for you. It creates the perfect blend of modern and traditional styles. The nostalgic feels of traditional interiors are felt across the space that is decorated and furnished with modern and contemporary elements. This style of residential interior design creates a highly functional space with vintage and classic vibes.

Minimalist

In today’s well-aware environment, homeowners are now shifting towards a minimalist approach where they keep only the bare essentials and nothing extra. The minimalist residential interior theme also follows the same principles of having the bare essentials in the space. Every piece of furniture and other elements should serve a purpose with minimum clutter. Straight and clean lines and order in the space are the main features of the minimalist style.

Modern contemporary

The modern contemporary interior design style is characterized by everything that is in trend in the current times. It includes functional pieces and modern sleek furniture that creates a highly elegant and sophisticated space. The use of metallic structures and elements with a glossy finish are increasingly evident in the interior.

Thus whichever style you choose from these mentioned residential interior design inspirations or if you have a different interior design theme in your mind, our designers will make sure that you are able to achieve the home of your dreams in the best possible manner.
