All of the following designs can be found on my blog: Inspiration ABOUT THIS THREAD While it may be titled "Living Room Inspiration", there are far more than just living room designs - you'll find inspiration for your bedroom and dining room as well. I started this thread some time ago as I was rather sick of the cookie-cutter designs that most interior designers in Singapore seem to offer their clients, and the little guidance they offer their clients in seeing the design concept from start, to end [i.e. furnishings]. You'll probably see that for most of my designs, the built-in components that I advocate are either kept to a minimum, or are designed to be visually non-obtrusive - that's because I believe that the quality of furniture tends to be better, and that they tend to define a room's purpose, hence they should be the key focal point of a room. Do feel free to ask for advice, be it on this thread, or on my blog. LOOKBOOKS THUS FAR Monochromatic Luxe (see below) Modern Pop Traditional Home Misc.

Hi fellow homeowners, Creating some awareness based on my experience with this 'interior designer' Matrix Concept. Got my place some time ago, and like most people, I started scouring the interwebs for a reputable/recommended ID. And of course, this forum came up in my search results. From this forum I got in touch with 3 IDs, based on how 'hot' they are trending. Well long story short, I finally settled on this ID. Won't be able to write a chronology of events, but here's the summary: - On pre-selection meetups, portrayed a 'simple' / 'modern' styling, quote "not like the other IDs out there". - Apparently totally 'got' us and our needs. - 3D renders with scaled sizing? Nada. Zilch. Only got a 2D hand-sketched piece of excrement. And we only got this a few weeks after work has started. - Project management? Almost non-existant. It was I that had to take multiple on-site visits, take photos, and send back to ask 'what is going on here'. Wasn't this one of the fundamental functions of an ID? - Ideas? BS. Concepts proposed were of sub-par quality, uninspired. - Often tried to convince us that some things were not 'necessary'. You might be thinking - hey that's good right, help me save money. But you know what happens in the end? It didn't jive. - Needed to get stuff like furniture, curtains etc? The 'recommendations' and contacts given were in almost all cases, priced higher. Some were even ~35% more. - Need to meet up with the ID? Yeah good luck trying to get his time. And good luck trying to get a reply to questions on the same day. - The packaged post-reno cleaning was a disaster. Using a dirty mop, with dirty water, with filthy brooms, and 50% of the place was not wiped down? My son can do a better job. And he did. So how do I rate this experience? Schedule - 6/10 Price - 7/10 Project Management - 3/10 Ideas - 4/10 Quality/Workmanship - 7/10 Want-to-fire-and-get-a-different-ID - 12/10 Hope this helps.
