If you are renovating a Good Class Bungalow, a penthouse or a high-end home, the best luxury interior design firm for you is one that treats bespoke craft and architecture as seriously as aesthetics. Luxury work is not just a bigger budget applied to the same template. It is about material quality, custom joinery, the way light and volume are handled, and how the interior and the building relate. So I focused this list on firms with genuine high-end pedigree, cross-referencing award histories, published projects, press features and the calibre of homes they have delivered.

This guide is part of my wider list of the best interior design firms in Singapore, narrowed to the nine I would trust with a luxury home specifically. High-end work rewards firms that can source rare materials, commission bespoke pieces, and coordinate architects and artisans, not the ones optimising a mass-market renovation package.

A quick word on the ranking. Luxury firms are often boutique or project-based, so many are not on consumer review platforms, and I have judged them on portfolio, awards and press rather than star scores. Read the notes more than the numbers, because the right firm depends on whether your taste runs to quiet, timeless restraint or bold, opulent statements. Here are the nine I would recommend.

01

How to choose a luxury interior design firm in Singapore

Before the list, the things that actually separate a luxury firm from an expensive one. The first is architectural capability. High-end homes, especially Good Class Bungalows and large landed properties, involve the building as much as the interior, so you want a firm that either has architecture in-house or collaborates closely with an architect and a BCA-licensed builder. On the planning side, GCB areas are gazetted and tightly controlled by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), so experience navigating those rules matters.

The second is craft and sourcing. Luxury lives in the details: bespoke joinery, book-matched stone, specialist finishes, curated lighting and furniture. Look for firms with in-house or trusted artisan capability and a track record of sourcing the rare and the custom, because that is where a genuinely high-end result is made or lost.

Then judge them on portfolio and discretion. Look for completed homes at your level and in your aesthetic, whether that is understated and timeless or richly opulent, since luxury is not one style. Look for a considered, personal process, because at this level you are commissioning something bespoke and will work closely with the designer for many months. And weigh awards and press as signals of peer and editorial recognition. This is a shortlist to meet in person, matched to your taste and your home.

1. EightyTwo

EightyTwo is my lead for high-end residential done with restraint. It defines itself as a luxury design studio built on understated, timeless interiors, expensive-looking spaces that never shout, across condos, landed homes and developer projects. More than a decade in, it offers a turnkey consultancy with in-house styling and furniture, so the result is coherent from architecture to the last object.

Its regional expansion, with a Ho Chi Minh City office and further plans, and its steady presence in design press mark it out as a studio operating at a genuinely premium level. For an owner whose taste runs to quiet, tactile luxury rather than trend-driven statements, EightyTwo is the first name I would call.

Reviews: Boutique and award-led, featured in design press
Best known for: Understated, timeless luxury across condos and landed homes

Next: 2. Ministry of Design
03

2. Ministry of Design

Ministry of Design, led by Colin Seah, is one of the most internationally decorated studios Singapore has produced, with the President's Design Award won twice and a shelf of global honours. It works across architecture, interiors and spatial branding, which means it approaches a luxury home as a complete designed environment rather than a decorated one.

This is the firm for an owner who wants something architecturally ambitious and genuinely original, a home that could be published, not just admired. It is a design-led practice rather than a package renovator, so expect a conceptual, considered process. For high-end homes with real design aspiration, MOD is in a rare tier.

Next: 3. ONG&ONG

3. ONG&ONG

ONG&ONG offers something few interior firms can: a genuine, in-house 360-degree practice spanning architecture, interiors, landscape and lighting. For a Good Class Bungalow or large landed home, where those disciplines have to move as one, that integration is a real advantage, and the firm's pedigree, founded in 1972 with more than a thousand built projects across many countries, is unmatched among homegrown practices.

Its award-winning private residential work, led by respected directors, plays comfortably at the top of the market. For an owner building or reworking a substantial home who wants architecture and interiors from a single, established powerhouse, ONG&ONG is a heavyweight choice.

Next: 4. D'Perception Ritz

4. D'Perception Ritz

D'Perception Ritz combines interior design and architecture with a clear focus on premium residential and developer show-suites, the kind of work where marble, high-grade woods, natural stone and curated art are the everyday palette. Operating since 2007, it has the award recognition and the material fluency that luxury demands.

Its show-suite pedigree is telling, because those interiors are built to sell aspiration, which sharpens a firm's eye for what reads as genuinely high-end. For an owner who wants a rich, material-led luxury home from a practice that thinks architecturally, D'Perception Ritz is a strong pick.

5. Designworx Interior Consultant

Designworx is a genuine Good Class Bungalow and landed specialist, which is rarer than it sounds. In business since the late 1990s, it has collaborated with respected architects on GCB projects and conservation homes, and its recent recognition in Tatler's best-of listings confirms it sits firmly in the high-end residential conversation.

That focus on premier residences, including black-and-white and conservation properties, means it understands the specific demands and sensitivities of Singapore's most exclusive homes. For a GCB or landed owner who wants a firm that lives in this world, Designworx is a well-credentialled choice.

6. The DreamR Project

The DreamR Project is a luxury design-and-build specialist focused on landed homes and penthouses, with a signature it calls sustainable opulence, high-end interiors delivered with an eye on materials and longevity. Its featured projects, such as a penthouse in full-height walnut panelling with custom millwork, show the level of bespoke joinery it works at.

The design-and-build model means it takes a luxury project from concept through construction under one roof, with BCA-compliant delivery. For an owner who wants a high-end result and the accountability of a single team from design to handover, DreamR is a compelling option.

7. akiHAUS

akiHAUS brings an architect's sensibility to luxury interiors, designing spaces that respond to a building's architecture rather than simply dressing it. Its awards, including a Gold at the Singapore Interior Design Awards and repeated Home & Decor recognition, reflect a boutique studio operating well above its size in craft and concept.

The small-team model means principal-led attention and a high-craft approach, which suits owners who want a considered, design-integrity-first luxury home rather than a badge-heavy one. For high-end landed and apartment interiors with real architectural thinking, akiHAUS is a standout.

8. DISTINCTidENTITY

DISTINCTidENTITY builds its luxury on craftsmanship, running in-house custom carpentry and joinery to create tailored furniture and fittings, which is exactly where bespoke residential work is made. A repeat Home & Decor honouree, it delivers modern-luxury condo and landed interiors with a strong material and detailing focus.

It sits a touch below the pure GCB tier and delivers its luxury through bespoke build quality rather than pure architectural spectacle, which for many owners is precisely the point. For a modern-luxury home where the joinery and finishes have to be flawless, DISTINCTidENTITY is a well-judged choice.

Next: 9. Hoft

9. Hoft

Hoft rounds out the list with a lifestyle-led take on luxury, a restrained Scandinavian and Japandi sensibility applied to condos and landed homes, understated rather than ornate. Its new dedicated showroom lets clients experience materials and finishes in person, which matters at this level, and its landed expertise gives it real substance beyond the aesthetic.

As a newer entrant it is building its high-end profile, but the quality of its work and its bespoke, curated approach place it firmly in the luxury conversation for owners who prefer quiet sophistication. For understated luxury with a strong point of view, Hoft is worth a look.

How much does luxury interior design cost in Singapore?

Luxury spans a huge range, because the material and craft decisions do. A high-end condo interior is one level, a large landed home another, and a full Good Class Bungalow something else entirely. Here are the ballpark 2026 ranges I would budget for, covering design and renovation, before furniture, art and consultant fees.

PropertyTypical luxury design and renovation cost
High-end condominiumS$150,000 to S$400,000
PenthouseS$300,000 to S$1,000,000+
Luxury landed homeS$400,000 to S$1,500,000
Good Class Bungalow (full)S$1,000,000 to S$5,000,000+

At this level, bespoke joinery, imported stone, specialist finishes and custom furniture are the main cost drivers, and structural or A&A work on a GCB adds architect, engineer and builder fees on top. Scope and specification, far more than square footage alone, decide where you land in these ranges.

How I put this list together

No firm paid to be on this list. Luxury firms are often boutique or project-based and rarely appear on consumer review platforms, so I judged them on award history, published and press-featured projects, and the calibre of homes they have delivered, rather than star ratings, and I said so where a public rating simply does not exist. Details were accurate when I wrote this but they move, so confirm scope, credentials and the firm's architect and builder arrangements directly before you engage anyone. I update the list when my view changes.

What counts as a luxury interior design project in Singapore?

There is no official line, but in practice luxury projects are defined by bespoke rather than package work: custom joinery and furniture, high-grade and imported materials, specialist finishes and lighting, and a highly personalised design process. They tend to be Good Class Bungalows, large landed homes, penthouses and premium condos, where the budget allows the designer to commission and source rather than select from a catalogue. The mark of true luxury is craft and coherence, not just a high price tag.

Next: What is a Good Class Bungalow and who can renovate one?
15

What is a Good Class Bungalow and who can renovate one?

A Good Class Bungalow, or GCB, is the most exclusive class of landed housing in Singapore, located within gazetted GCB Areas that carry strict planning controls set by URA covering plot size, height and site coverage. Renovating or rebuilding one typically requires an architect and a BCA-licensed builder alongside the interior designer, because the works engage planning approvals and structural design. You want a firm that has genuinely worked within these constraints, which is why GCB experience is a specific thing to look for, not a given.

Next: Do luxury interior designers charge a design fee?
16

Do luxury interior designers charge a design fee?

Usually yes. At the high end, design is a distinct professional service, and many luxury firms charge a design fee, sometimes as a percentage of the project value or a per-square-foot rate, separate from the construction cost. This buys you the concept work, detailed drawings, material curation and project oversight that define luxury work. It is worth clarifying the fee structure early, along with what is included, so you can compare firms properly and avoid surprises.

Next: How do I choose a luxury interior designer in Singapore?
17

How do I choose a luxury interior designer in Singapore?

Start with portfolio fit: look for completed homes at your level and in your aesthetic, whether understated or opulent. Then assess craft and sourcing capability, since bespoke joinery and material quality are where luxury is delivered. For GCBs and large landed homes, confirm the firm has architectural capability and works with a licensed builder. Finally, meet them, because a luxury project is a long, close collaboration, and rapport and trust matter as much as talent. Awards and press are useful signals, but the completed work and the working relationship decide it.

The bottom line

The best luxury interior design firm is the one whose taste, craft and capability match your home. For understated, timeless luxury I would start with EightyTwo or Hoft. For architecturally ambitious homes and GCBs, Ministry of Design, ONG&ONG and Designworx are hard to beat, and for material-rich, bespoke work D'Perception Ritz, akiHAUS and DISTINCTidENTITY. Whichever you pick, confirm the firm's architectural and builder arrangements, clarify the design fee, and choose a team you genuinely want to work with over many months.

This is one of my property-specific guides. For the full shortlist across all home types, see my main list of the best interior design firms in Singapore.
