Simple but effective lighting multiplies the possibilities for different moods
HomeRenoGuru: How did you come to engage U-Home Interior Design as your ID?
Anna Evelyn: I got to know U-Home from the HomeRenoGuru website. I found out they have an outlet in IMM where my office is located. One day I decided to walk in and have a look at their projects. So Miss Fanny Ong was the designer that attended to me. Her professionalism has impressed me.
Furniture is placed against the walls to optimise the long, linear living space
HomeRenoGuru: What was your brief to Fanny?
Vincent: When we go for trips we try to get some ideas, and then we threw them to Fanny, and Fanny accepted our idea and she implemented it into the renovation.

HomeRenoGuru: How was the renovation process?
Anna Evelyn: U-Home and Fanny did a good job because the whole renovation was smooth and it was finished on time.
Anna Evelyn loves her marble-like backsplash
Home RenoGuru: What do you love most about your home?
Vincent: My favourite part of my home is the living room. It was nicely designed and looks very harmonious.
Anna Evelyn: I also like my kitchen, but the previous owner has hacked the wall so we fixed a glass panel to keep our cooking smells from the living room.
Natural light from the service yard window brightens up the kitchen
A sliding glass door was added to contain cooking smells
HomeRenoGuru: Do you have any advice to share with other homeowners who are thinking of renovating their home?
Vincent: You should look for a firm that provides great customer service, and one that can match your budget with your expectations. I believe that home renovation should be done by professionals, not by us.
HomeRenoGuru: Would you recommend U-Home and Fanny to other homeowners?
Anna Evelyn: We are glad that we have chose U-Home and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a reliable and professional ID firm. We really love our home.
Vincent and Anna Evelyn: Thank you, Fanny and U-Home!
