Arete Culture

Arete Culture is a true gem. Carol and Jules were an absolute delight to work with, and their work is stunning. When I was moving to Singapore, I needed help decorating a new space essentially from scratch and on an extremely tight timeline. Enter Arete to the rescue - hiring Carol and Jules was the best decision I could have made. If you're thinking about hiring a decorator/stylist in Singapore, you can stop looking, Arete is the absolute best choice you can make. First off, they are consummate professionals with a keen eye for great pieces and a well-honed aesthetic taste. They listened intently to my interests and preferences, and did a superb job creating a design palette and choosing pieces that fit my design style perfectly. And they did so with blistering speed - it was truly a remarkable feat. They also made what can be a very painful process an absolute delight. They take care of everything and always went the extra mile to make sure I had the best experience and a home with a real "wow" factor, and put my mind completely at ease. And they did a really impressive job maximizing my budget - helping to balance where to invest more money and where I could save money, and helping to also source custom-designed, beautiful unique pieces that didn't break the bank. Really, these guys are amazing. In addition to being the best at what they do, they're also a delight to work with - they're flexible, responsive, fast, and do it all with a great sense of humor. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

After moving into my new place, I needed some help to redecorate my space because a lot of my furniture and decor didn't suit anymore. I reached out to Naomi from Arete Culture and after a consultation session, she immediately understood my needs and vision of how I wanted my dream living room. Within a short amount of time, she transformed my place and I couldn't be happier. She not only has a lovely design esthetic, she is a good listener, resourceful, fast to action, and most of all, does it so effortlessly and with a great attitude. Amazing! I would recommend Naomi/Arete to anyone who needs a quick fix to their space. If it bothers you, just fix it! I felt so much better after the transformation as the room's energy completely changed and looks much bigger too.

Arete Culture is recommended by a friend. We have engaged them for our renovation and our schedule is tight to complete the whole process for move-in. The people that Arete Culture engaged (carpenter, electrician and curtain people) are professional and we are very pleased with the delivery. One very important thing about Caroline and her team is not just about style but she watch the $ for the owner to ensure best style, right pricing and right timing. This is not a easy thing to balance. I am happy with the work for our condo 4 bedroom unit.

Juline Moroney of Arete Culture created a stunning and well designed home for me in Singapore. I was inspired and impressed by her beautiful ideas and speed of completion (three weeks from first conversation to completion). We spoke briefly about my needs and she handled everything that followed. I was thrilled by the result and am happy to have a beautiful place to call home as a result of Juline.

"WOW".....that was my brief; every time i opened the doors to this open plan new build house I wanted to experience the "WOW factor". Nirvi and Caroline have more than exceeded that with their amazing design, interior styling ideas, creativity and expertise. They have transformed the first floor of this 'house' into the most amazing, stylish, comfortable, cozy and grown up family 'home'. From my initial store enquiry and subsequent house visit, nothing has ever been too much trouble. Nirvi has responded to my many calls and emails promptly & with constant reassurance. She has the patience of a saint! Both Nirvi and Caroline listened to my ideas and assisted in creating new ones, all of which I once believed were just those of dreams. However, they have turned that dream home into Complete reality, one I'm proud to welcome friends and family from near and far into. The furniture options sourced saved me countless hours, also offering me bespoke options based on my specific needs/wants/requirements while the overall styling project encompassed many original family pieces of sentimental value. The styling Day itself was seamless, professional and such an exciting experience. On return I opened those doors, stood there in awe of the transformation from before to now and experienced that "WOW"! My husband & I still do! I can't thank Nirvi and Caroline enough for giving me the beautiful and stylish home of my dreams but one that will transcend across time and countries in the future. THANKYOU!

Arete Culture took my plain and historic landed house in Katong and turned it into my own personal retreat. I was involved throughout every step of the process in transforming my house into a fantastic home. I am very happy with the results and their personal service. If you want a interior designer who can do everything you required with taste, style and attention, I am confident Arete Culture will meet your every expectation.
