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 recommendations

I 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.

What I look for in a condo interior designer

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.

1. MET Interior

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.

2. Swiss Interior

Swiss Interior has been operating since 2012 and has served over 500 homeowners in Singapore. That kind of longevity tells you something. Firms that deliver poor work do not survive 14 years in a market as competitive and review-driven as Singapore's interior design scene.

4.9/5 (500+ reviews)

3. The Interior Lab

The Interior Lab runs a 30-member team, which puts them firmly in the mid-to-large category for Singapore interior design firms. That team size matters because it means they have the capacity to manage multiple condo projects simultaneously without stretching their designers too thin.

4. Space Factor

Space Factor takes a different approach to pricing that I find refreshing. Instead of rigid renovation packages (the kind where you get "Package A" for $38K and "Package B" for $55K), they price on a per-work-done basis. That means you pay for exactly what you need, and the scope can flex based on your priorities and budget.

5. Starry Homestead

If you are looking for a firm with serious condo volume, Starry Homestead has completed 125 condo projects out of 359 total. That means over a third of their entire body of work is condo-specific. Very few firms on this list (or anywhere in Singapore) can match that depth of condo experience.

6. Space Atelier

Space Atelier has built a strong reputation since their founding in 2014, and their numbers on review platforms reflect consistent quality. On Hometrust, they hold a 9.0 out of 10 rating and sit at rank #14 overall. On Qanvast, they score 4.67 out of 5 across 362 reviews, with the Supertrust badge earned every year from 2016 to 2025. That is a decade of consecutive trust awards, which is genuinely rare.

7. Ciseern

Ciseern has been around since 1997, making them one of the oldest interior design firms on this list. In 28 years, they have served over 20,000 homeowners. Let that number settle for a moment: twenty thousand projects. That is an extraordinary volume of work, and it gives them a depth of experience that newer firms simply cannot replicate.

8. Fineline Design

Fineline Design has been operating since 2010, obtained their BCA licence in 2012, and holds both CaseTrust accreditation and Qanvast Supertrust status. That combination of industry credentials signals a firm that takes regulatory compliance and quality standards seriously.

9. Absolook Interior Design

Absolook Interior Design rounds out this list with a credential that none of the other firms can claim: they won the Asia Pacific Property Award for Best Interior Design Apartment in Singapore. International award panels evaluate projects against a global standard, so winning in the apartment category is particularly relevant for condo owners.

Questions to ask before you sign

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.

Need a website for your interior design firm

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.

If you want to talk about what a new website or digital marketing strategy could do for your firm, get in touch for a free consultation. You can also explore my web design services to see how I work.

Do I need MCST approval to renovate a condo in Singapore?

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.

How long does a condo renovation take in Singapore?

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.
