9 Best Condo Interior Design Firms Singapore (October 2026)
Terris personally recommends the 9 best condo interior design firms in Singapore for 2026. Starting with MET Interior and Swiss Interior.
This guide is part of Terris Recommends, my researched, hands-on picks of the best local businesses and services in Singapore. Every recommendation is researched and ranked by me.
See all recommendationsI have spent a lot of time researching Singapore's interior design firms for this series, comparing portfolios, reading client reviews, and digging into how these companies actually operate, not just the polished portfolio shots they put on Instagram.
When friends and family ask me which condo interior design firm in Singapore they should hire, I never give a one-size-fits-all answer. Condos have unique constraints. You are dealing with MCST rules, limited ceiling heights, fixed wet and dry areas, and neighbours who will hear every hammer blow. The firm you pick needs to understand these realities inside and out.
This is my personal shortlist of nine firms that I would genuinely recommend. I researched each one extensively through their portfolios, client reviews, and industry reputation. Every firm on this list has a strong track record of delivering quality condo interior design in Singapore, and I have done my best to explain exactly why each one earned a spot. This guide is part of my wider list of the best interior design firms in Singapore, if you want the shortlist across HDB, condo and landed.
Before you pay a deposit, check whether the firm is accredited. CaseTrust accreditation for renovation businesses requires a deposit-protection scheme and a standard contract, which is exactly what you want when a job goes wrong.
Before diving into the list, let me share the criteria I use when evaluating any interior design firm for condo projects. These are the things that separate firms I would recommend from firms I would not.
- Condo-specific experience. A firm that mostly does landed homes or commercial spaces will approach a 1,000 sq ft condo very differently. I look for firms with a meaningful number of completed condo projects, because that means they understand the constraints: MCST regulations, stacking restrictions, ceiling height limitations, and working within compact floor plans.
- Transparent pricing. Interior design in Singapore is expensive, and there is no way around that. But firms that dodge the pricing conversation or give suspiciously low initial quotes tend to cause problems later. I favour firms that are upfront about cost ranges and payment structures.
- Verified reviews, not just testimonials. Any firm can put five glowing quotes on their website. I check third-party platforms like Hometrust and Qanvast where homeowners leave unfiltered feedback. A firm with hundreds of verified reviews and a rating above 4.5 has earned that score through consistent delivery.
- Design process clarity. The best firms walk you through their process clearly: consultation, space planning, 3D renders, material selection, timeline, handover. If a firm cannot explain how they work in a straightforward way, that is a red flag.
- Accreditations. CaseTrust accreditation, BCA licensing, and awards from bodies like the Singapore Prestige Brand Award are not just logos on a website. They signal that a firm has met industry standards and submitted to external audits.

I built MET Interior's website. That project meant spending weeks understanding how their firm actually operates, from the first consultation call all the way through to handover. I reviewed their completed projects in detail, studied their design process, and spoke with their team about how they approach each condo renovation. So this recommendation is not based on surface-level research. It comes from genuine firsthand experience.
What struck me was their design sensitivity. MET Interior does not chase trends for the sake of it. Their condo projects show real restraint and thoughtfulness, with clean layouts, warm material palettes, and intelligent space planning that makes compact units feel significantly more open. They handle everything turnkey, from 3D concept visualisation to final handover, which means homeowners deal with one point of contact instead of juggling multiple contractors.
The numbers back it up. On Hometrust, MET Interior holds a 9.3 out of 10 rating, placing them #2 out of 2,449 listed interior designers in Singapore across 157 reviews. On Qanvast, they sit at 4.7 out of 5. Out of 83 total projects listed, 23 are condo-specific. They also specialise in landed properties and walk-up apartments, and have been featured on Lookbox Living for their design work.
If you are renovating a condo and want a firm that combines design talent with reliable execution, MET Interior is the first name I would suggest.

Their design style leans toward modern classic and transitional, which is a sweet spot for condo owners who want elegance without the risk of a trendy look dating itself in three years. I have gone through dozens of their project photos, and the consistency is impressive. They do not appear to have an "off day" when it comes to design quality. Clean lines, thoughtful lighting, and restrained colour palettes run through almost every project.
With a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 500+ reviews and CaseTrust accreditation, Swiss Interior is one of the highest-rated firms in Singapore by sheer volume of positive feedback. If your taste runs toward timeless rather than trendy, they deserve a serious look.

Their condo track record is one of the deepest on this list: 73 completed condo projects with an average cost of S$162,167. That average gives you a realistic benchmark if you are budgeting for a full condo renovation in Singapore. It is not cheap, but for the scope and quality of work they deliver, it aligns with what I would expect from a top-tier firm.
On Hometrust, they hold a 9.2 out of 10 rating, ranking #9 out of 2,447 designers with 235 reviews. On Qanvast, they score 4.7 out of 5 with over 400 reviews and have earned the Supertrust badge every year from 2019 to 2025. They are also CaseTrust accredited. When a firm maintains that level of consistency across hundreds of reviews and multiple platforms over seven consecutive years, you can trust that the experience is reliable.

Founded in 2010 with over 20 years of combined industry experience, their design aesthetic centres on modern luxury. Their condo projects tend to feature bold material choices, statement lighting, and a polished finish that leans upscale. For condo owners who want their unit to feel like a show flat at a new launch, Space Factor delivers that level of finish.
Typical condo renovation costs with Space Factor range from S$40,000 to S$80,000 and above, depending on the scope. That flexible pricing model means you can start with the essentials and add on as your budget allows, rather than committing to a fixed package that might include things you do not actually need.

With over 10 years of operation, a Hometrust rating of 9.1 out of 10, a Qanvast score of 4.7, and CaseTrust-RCMA approval, they tick every credibility box. But what I find most interesting about their work is the emphasis on space-saving solutions and harmonious design. Their condo projects consistently show smart storage integration, multi-functional furniture layouts, and a calm aesthetic that makes compact spaces feel liveable rather than cramped.
For condo owners dealing with tight square footage (which is most condo owners in Singapore), a firm that specialises in making small spaces work harder is exactly what you need. Starry Homestead has turned that into their core competency.

Their design style skews toward modern luxury with a showroom-quality finish. Looking through their portfolio, their condo projects have a polished, editorial feel to them. Lots of clean surfaces, integrated lighting, and high-end materials. If you have seen a condo project on social media that made you think "that looks like a magazine shoot," there is a good chance it was a Space Atelier project.
Pricing is transparent, too. Their average cost for a new condo sits at S$51,852, while resale condos (which typically need more work) average S$97,894. Those benchmarks are helpful for budgeting and set realistic expectations before the first consultation.

Their credentials are equally impressive. They hold a 4.8 out of 5 on HomeMatch across 800+ reviews, 4.7 on Google, and have won the Singapore Prestige Brand Award, the Spirit of Enterprise Award, and the HDB Quality Partner designation in 2020. Perhaps most notably, they were appointed as the HDB show flat designer from 2017 to 2023. Being selected by HDB to design their show flats is a significant vote of confidence from a government body.
While Ciseern handles a wide range of residential projects, their sheer volume means they have seen virtually every condo layout in Singapore. Whether you are dealing with a shoebox unit, a dual-key condo, or a penthouse, chances are they have designed a similar space dozens of times before.

What sets Fineline apart is their versatility. Their portfolio spans minimalist, contemporary, industrial, and Scandinavian styles, all executed with a level of detail that shows genuine craftsmanship. I have noticed that some firms do one style brilliantly but stumble when a client asks for something outside their comfort zone. Fineline does not appear to have that problem. Their detail orientation shows up in the small things: precise carpentry joints, consistent material finishes, and thoughtful hardware selections.
With an average project cost of S$92,212, they sit at the higher end of the market. But for condo owners who are willing to invest in quality finishes and meticulous execution, Fineline delivers value that justifies the price point.

Founded in 2010, Absolook handles a broad range of project types including HDB, condos, landed properties, and commercial spaces. Their condo work shows a clean contemporary aesthetic with practical layouts and a focus on making the design process transparent for homeowners. I appreciate firms that demystify the renovation journey, and Absolook's process documentation suggests they prioritise keeping clients informed at every stage.
For condo owners who value an award-winning pedigree and a transparent design process, Absolook is well worth a consultation.

How much does condo interior design cost in Singapore?
Based on the firms on this list, you are looking at a wide range depending on the scope. A new condo with basic ID work and built-in carpentry might start from S$40,000 to S$50,000 (Space Factor and Space Atelier sit in this range for new units). A full renovation of a resale condo with hacking, retiling, and extensive custom carpentry can easily reach S$90,000 to S$160,000+ (The Interior Lab averages S$162,167, and Fineline Design averages S$92,212). The variables are unit size, extent of hacking, material choices, and how much custom carpentry you need. Always get at least three quotes, and make sure each quote breaks down the cost by category so you can compare apples to apples. If you need a dedicated renovation contractor rather than a full-service interior design firm, see our list of the best renovation contractors in Singapore.
How long does a condo renovation take?
Most condo renovations in Singapore take 8 to 12 weeks from the start of work, not counting the design and planning phase (which can add another 2 to 4 weeks). If your project involves hacking of walls or floors, add time for MCST permit approvals. Your condo management may also restrict renovation work to specific hours, typically 9am to 5pm on weekdays and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays, with no work on Sundays and public holidays. Factor these constraints into your timeline expectations.
Do I need a CaseTrust-accredited designer?
CaseTrust accreditation is not legally required, but I strongly recommend working with an accredited firm. The scheme, administered by the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), requires firms to meet standards around fair pricing, proper contracts, and dispute resolution. If something goes wrong during your renovation, having a CaseTrust-accredited firm gives you a clearer path to resolution. Several firms on this list (Swiss Interior, The Interior Lab, Starry Homestead, Fineline Design) hold this accreditation.
If you run an interior design firm and your website is not generating enquiries, I have been in that exact situation with one of the firms on this list. When I redesigned MET Interior's website, their old site (built by another agency) was actively hurting their business. No SEO, no lead generation strategy, and a design that did not reflect the quality of their work. After the rebuild, they saw a 3x increase in homeowner consultations.
Your website is often the first impression a potential client has of your firm. If it loads slowly, looks outdated, or does not show up on Google when someone searches for "condo interior design Singapore," you are losing leads to competitors who have invested in their online presence.
I have also written a detailed guide on digital marketing for interior designers in Singapore that covers SEO, Google Ads, and social media strategies specifically for this industry.

Yes. Condo renovations in Singapore need written approval from the MCST before work starts, and you will normally have to lodge a renovation deposit, submit your contractor's details and insurance, and work within permitted hours. Hacking and any change affecting common property face the tightest scrutiny.
Ask your designer to handle the submission, since an experienced firm knows what each estate's management will reject.
A typical condo renovation in Singapore takes about 8 to 12 weeks once work begins, with carpentry the usual bottleneck because built-ins are made to order. Add several weeks before that for design, quotation and MCST approval.
Build in buffer if you are moving out of a rental, because handover dates slip far more often than they hold.
Choosing the right interior design firm for your condo is one of the biggest decisions you will make as a homeowner in Singapore. The firms on this list represent what I genuinely believe are the best options available in 2026, based on verified reviews, completed condo projects, industry credentials, and (in some cases) my personal experience working with them.
My advice: shortlist two or three firms from this list, book consultations with each, and pay close attention to how they communicate during those initial conversations. The firm that listens carefully, asks smart questions about your lifestyle, and explains their process clearly is usually the one that will deliver the best result.
