  4. Hi ALL, Designing your dream house is fun. But why make it sound so stressful? Why do defects happen? I hope my post does not offend anyone who is still pursuing his or her ideal place. We do not mean harm and we sincerely offers our advance apologies if we upset anyone. We can tell you our perspectives and i shall name IDs as DESIGNERS [cause we can all design, and YES we can] and contractors as BUILDERS [cause they simply build according to our visions] Homeowners often approaches designers like us who has a lot of "rough" ideas and tend to express their own creativities. Or rather trying to speak to contractors who may appear to look like they know a lot but actually they do have limitation to your creative makings. Down the road, you would experience miscommunications and at times, the renovation works tend to go unsmooth and defects starts to surface. And by human nature, contractors and IDs are the ones who take the blames. I hate to say the harsh truth. Homeowners should also admit their faults too. Let’s decipher down to bits of knowing your professionals A lot of posts tackle one common issue? Which IDs are good and which are not good? The truth is, everyone is GOOD. They are players with their own styles. And each has its own design flairs. i do not think it is fair to judge them based on their faults at work, and also those slight delays that incurred. Homeowners must understand that each clientele’s project is different and it’s never a “one size fit all” policy. Each houses designed and built has its own problems. Some problems may be due to budget allocations set by each homeowners, and/or the different configurations of a house; layouts. [Even though HDB flats all look the same to you. But in the eye of designers, they are not quite the same]. Homeowners should listen to professional players in the industry, cause they know a lot more than you do, which is why the whole idea of engaging designers. Always listen to the professionals. When they say your design can’t be feasible, so be it. Designers are always there to help you solve your mental blockages. Designers are there to have fun with you. No one in this industry should be judged by his or her own faults or miscommunications. Just picture this, everyone always have a bad day at his or her workplaces or homes. For IDs and contractors, it is perhaps one of the bad days that do not go smoothly. And the one comment from your forum posts could accumulate to them losing their confidences in the field. You may also find that designers behave like salesman. Here’s the thing: you make us do that! And then we behave like one! [Lol] Home owners always approaches me and my design partners one common favor, “ show me your portfolio and your past projects, and also how much you offering for your services and we discuss if we want to engage u” Professional designers will never reply to your questions like these. We will feel offended, seriously. In my case, how do I react to the favor: “Show me your floor plan layout and then Let's have fun designing ” [And we then smile with joy ☺] and also that is how my design partners reacts too. We draw and sketch ideas on first meetings. We stitched your ideas and trying to see if we can help to combine your interests. Of course if we are reliable enough, we propose our design intent and our inputs to your months of troubleshooting and also your months of researching tons of ID websites and design platforms. And if you don’t like our design, there are always others out there who can accommodate your requests. A master architect once spoke: “Architects are pretty much high-class whores. We can turn down projects the way they can turn down some clients, but we've both got to say yes to someone if we want to stay in business.” And we admit we are your whores and I always told my partners and friends in the industry, “Designing an interior is like experiencing a fling with a random girl next door, it ended a short while and it is fun!” Stop being so stressed and lets have fun together. No worries. Problems are always there but with common understandings, we can overcome. When talking to builders, be confident that you know your own stuffs. Many of my clients approach me to say they have their own builders. That is good news for us but worrying at the same time. Can you both talk the same frequencies? Engage your own builders if you really know your stuffs, seriously. If you are not confident, leave it to designers to do the talking. We would like to encourage homeowners to have fun! Cause to me, designing is fun! Don’t make things complicated, even though it is much to our human nature.

  7. Seems the room will look bigger and have a fantastic feeling. Does anyone do this before? how about the effect?
  8. Has anyone engaged ** recently? Read some reviews a few years back, but not sure what their current "form" is. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as we are planning to meet with them in a few weeks' time to discuss ideas. Thanks!

  13. Hi All, I was approached by Tricia from DreamCreations Interior. Checked HDB website and was not under the HDB contractors list. Anybody engaged them before? Anyways, just received keys for my 3rm BTO flat. Thought of meeting her this Thursday. Thanks.
  14. Please do not be a victim of this company BSA Renovation Sdn Bhd (1072849-K) which the boss is called Ah Sheng. 96468805 singapore number or 17028840269 malaysia number. Apparently he has a local singapore business partner called Mr Sim dont know which company. the situation is like this: we were introduced to this carpenter by our ID and to begin with, he seems a nice person and promise us quality work and a reasonable quotation for it so we agreed. so reno kicked in and the progress was quite slow and work was only 90% completed right up to CNY. During this phrase, we noted that the work was really not as per what was mentioned and agreed and ah sheng got very defensive and his tone change with millions of excuses. He then rushed us for the remaining 50% payment which we refused due to incomplete and unsatisfactory work. Then he went on to threaten by saying he will tear down all if we do not make payment. so naively we agreed and he mentioned that the will complete the remaining works after CNY. We got a discount for some of the defects. He kept calling us daily chasing for payment and however, once we made the payment, he disappeared. Called him and he mentioned he is not going to do it as it was not part of the agreement and started denying everything. send him email and he act blur, call him and he say to ask us to find our ID. before that was telling us that he can be trusted etc. bottom line is dont bother working with this company as we heard from our ID that this company has also quite a few complains by her clients recently of such incidents.
  15. Hello to all Renotalkers! Greeting from a girl who simply love home decoration and renovation, learn and share some DIY tips with the others. Having read on so many sharing from other Renotalkers, I decided to share some of my little tips in this t-blogs as well. Hope everyone will enjoy reading it and please do feel free to share you ideas / thoughts here too! Here come's the first piece of my sharing... <Mirror mirror on the wall...> Mirrors are some of the most versatile items used in interior decorating, and when they are employed tastefully and creatively they can really transform the appearance of a room. There is a wide variety of mirrors of all shapes and sizes, so you will have choice whatever your budget and preferred aesthetic. With a little ingenuity, there are a number of ways you can use mirrors to give your house a new look. Enlarge a Room A wide mirror can work wonders to enhance the appearance of a room to make it appear more spacious. Hang a wide mirror high up on the wall by the dining table or in the living room, reflecting the interior and making it appear twice as large as it really is. Soften Corners If you have sharp corners in the house, whether due to the shape of your rooms or angular furniture, mirrors can help to soften them. For instance, positioning a round mirror above an angular coffee table can soften otherwise harsh lines considerably. Underscore Your Theme Mirrors come in all sorts of frames, and well-chosen frames can help to underscore your theme and create the atmosphere you are trying to achieve. If you want your interior to look rustic and inviting, mirrors in wooden frames can add to the warmth of your colour palette. You can even purchase or make your own frames to house your mirrors in. Experiment with Shapes Since mirrors come in every conceivable shape, from round or oval to angular or oblong, you can experiment with shapes to enhance the appearance of your space. For instance, if your space is very modern, a combination of oblong-shaped mirrors can contribute to the futuristic atmosphere. Combine Several Mirrors Use several mirrors in tandem to transform your wall space. Just as picture frames can be combined to produce elaborate wall-scapes, several mirrors can be grouped together to form a reflective collage. Hang Mirrors Alongside Picture Frames If you already have picture frames on the walls, mirrors can be interspersed amongst them to fill up space and to add completeness to an existing collage of picture frames. Match the frames of your mirror with your picture frames so they blend in seamlessly. Use Reflections Strategically Your mirrors should not be thought of merely as ornaments for the walls. You should also consider what is being reflected in the glass and use this to your advantage when positioning your mirrors. For instance, if your windows afford beautiful views, position your mirrors so they reflect the scenery. If you are fond of burning candles on a sideboard, a mirror placed just behind the candles can help to generate an evocative atmosphere. A mirror at the end of a hall can give the hallway a more extended feel. Use Other Reflective Items Creativity is key when decorating an interior, and there is a whole host of other items that can function as decorative mirrors. Sheets of aluminium and other metals are reflective and can produce interesting effects when used in interior decorating. Mirrors are extremely versatile and can be adapted to any kind of interior. When decorating your interior, using mirrors creatively can be the step that enhances and completes the look of your home. --- End --- You know what?

  16. Hi, some thoughts and ideas on id and renovation tips. As an ex - interior designer and a home owner i understand the whole thought process of the ID works. Currently I am working on a project to showcase local designs and designer and share this images with fellow readers who would find it useful. For a start i have created a Facebook page in which i will be highlighting good designs and designers that i have worked with. Also post some useful tips in this forum on id and renovation execution. hopefully this would help or readers make better decision when deciding on the type of ID and cost.
