HomeRenoGuru:
Would you recommend this Interior Designer? Why?
Ben:
My friend, Marcus Yeo, drew all the 2D designs of my ideal home. I chose Adrian from Design 4 Space to execute the project based on another friend’s recommendation. During the renovation process, Adrian suggested some changes for improvement. Most interior decorations/soft furniture are my selection (such as carpets, feature wall panels, kitchen chalkboard drawings, etc). I would recommend Adrian from Design 4 Space for three main reasons:
- The workmanship is pretty good, especially for the carpentry work.
- Value for money, Adrian put himself in the owner’s shoes and helped to save some costs.
- Responsive and knowledgeable. Adrian responds to owner’s request and inquiries really fast. He also knows what materials to be used and the right procedures to follow.
HomeRenoGuru:
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Ben:
Homeowners have to work together with their project manager to work out the renovation details. It is your home and it should be unique in a way that it carries your character. Don’t expect miracles to happen if you do not put your heart in. Meanwhile, a good ID/project manager will help you conceptualize it and bring it to life.
