The Interior Lab is a Singapore interior design firm established in 2013, with a residential-led portfolio of 212 projects. Condominiums are the largest segment (82 projects), followed by 5-Room HDB (41) and 4-Room HDB (37), and resale work makes up about two-thirds of projects. Recorded project prices range from about S$43,000 to S$288,500. The portfolio spans many styles, from contemporary and modern to scandinavian and country, rather than one signature look. It may suit homeowners wanting a versatile studio across HDB and private property.

Strengths
Substantial residential track record With 212 listed projects across condominiums, 3-, 4- and 5-Room HDB and Executive HDB, the firm has experience across several property types and budget levels. This breadth is more relevant to HDB renovation and condo work than to a niche project segment.
Broad regulatory accreditation The firm holds HDB Registered, BCA Registered, CaseTrust and bizSAFE 3 accreditations. These cover the approvals and safety standards that most Singapore renovation projects require.
Consistently high ratings across categories Across 241 HomeTrust reviews, the firm averages 9.5 for service and 9.3 for design, with a 9.2 overall rating. Detailed homeowner experience is covered in Reviews Insight.
Things to take note
Team size not disclosed The firm profile does not show a team size, so the number of designers available for a project cannot be assessed from the data. Homeowners may wish to ask who will be their lead designer and how workload is handled.
No dominant design signature Listed projects span at least nine styles, with no single style clearly dominating. Homeowners with a specific aesthetic should review project examples to confirm the firm's approach fits their taste.

The Interior Lab holds 4 recognised industry accreditations covering HDB renovation, contractor registration, consumer protection and workplace safety.

“Responsible & Reliable Interior Design Firm”

We wanted something simple and aesthetically pleasing- minimalistic with a touch of scandi. Through Hometrust, I got to know about The Interior Lab. Our assigned interior designer was Suki. Suki truly understood our needs and was patient throughout the design conceptualisation process and that was one of the reasons we chose The Interior Lab. Throughout the whole renovation process, we were constantly updated about the progress especially when we were overseas. Thus, we knew that we were good hands. Overall, we were satisfied with the workmanship and the after-sales service. Even upon completion, the team was willing to come down for minor touch-ups. We will refer to The Interior Lab as a responsible and reliable interior design firm.

“Exceptional Kitchen Renovation Experience with Elaine”

I recently engaged The Interior Lab for my kitchen renovation, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to project completion, the team was professional, responsive, and attentive to my requirements. My designer, Elaine, took the time to understand how I use my kitchen and proposed practical solutions that maximised both storage and functionality without compromising on aesthetics. Her attention to detail, thoughtful material recommendations, and efficient space planning made a significant difference to the overall design. The renovation process was well managed, with clear communication throughout and regular updates on the progress. The workmanship and finishing were of excellent quality, and the completed kitchen exceeded my expectations. Beyond the renovation itself, Elaine also provided valuable advice on how to better organise and optimise the space, which has made daily use of the kitchen even more enjoyable and efficient. A big thank you to The Interior Lab team, especially Elaine, for delivering such a seamless and pleasant renovation experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and knowledgeable interior designer for their kitchen renovation.

Design

The design far exceeded my expectations, and the proposed layout was both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Workmanship

The workmanship was good, and the final result matched the initial design perfectly. Most importantly, when required and where possible, the carpenters were willing to accommodate requests for additional shelving.

Customer Service

The service provided by the ID and the contractors engaged was very good overall. The quality of contractors is crucial to the success of any renovation project, and I’m pleased that the ID worked with such a reliable and capable team. Kudos to the ID for engaging contractors who delivered excellent workmanship and service throughout the process.

Value for Money

The project was certainly worth the amount spent. Furthermore, the ID made a genuine effort to keep the renovation within budget while still staying true to the desired kitchen design. The workmanship delivered was of good quality, and the service throughout was equally commendable. Overall, this project was money well spent.

“Highly Responsible ID – Seamless BTO Renovation”

We engaged Ms Joel Chan from The Interior Lab to renovate our BTO, focusing on our kitchen, foyer, master bedroom, living room cabinetry, and two bathrooms. We are very satisfied with the entire process and the results. From the very beginning, Joel was incredibly responsive and helpful. What we appreciated most was the practical and feasible advice given—there was no upselling of unnecessary features, just honest recommendations that suited our lifestyle and budget. The real standout moment, however, was when we were overseas during the critical renovation work phase. Joel took complete charge of the project management, giving us total peace of mind. Communication was seamless with regular updates, and the workmanship was delivered exactly as promised without us needing to be there to micromanage. Truly thankful for the great service and a beautiful home!

From the very start, Lydia listened attentively to our feedback and was extremely accommodative to our ideas. She really took the time to understand our vision for the house and did her best to bring it to life — while also offering thoughtful and practical suggestions that made the final outcome even better.

Thanks to her professionalism, creativity, and dedication, our home turned out even more beautiful than we imagined.

“Reno journey with Jo-ann”

I was referred to Jo-ann by a friend, and I’m very glad I decided to engage her as my designer. From the first meeting, she came across as friendly, approachable, and very professional. Communication & Responsiveness Throughout the renovation, Jo-ann was extremely responsive—even on weekends and after hours—which gave me a lot of reassurance. She was clear and timely in all her communication, whether it was advice, updates, or responses to my queries. Design & Advice Her long experience really shows in the way she advises on details I would never have anticipated. Her guidance was both practical and design-focused, helping me strike the right balance between aesthetics and functionality. The designs she proposed were well thought out, not just beautiful but also highly suited to my daily routine and needs. Project Management & Workmanship Jo-ann was accommodating to my schedule and managed smooth arrangements with the subcontractors. The workmanship delivered was commendable, and even when hiccups happened (as they inevitably do in renovations), she acted quickly to resolve issues and ensured recovery was smooth. Importantly, she kept within budget and timeline, and the final outcome exceeded my expectations. Overall Experience What stood out most was how she turned what I thought would be a stressful renovation into an enjoyable experience. Her professionalism, patience, and dedication gave me complete confidence in the process. Final Thoughts Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my renovation journey. I highly recommend Jo-ann to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, and thoughtful designer who truly cares about both the process and the result.

Design

The proposed design was both aesthetic and practical - i went with a wabi-sabi theme as advised. Jo-ann’s long experience really showed in the way she anticipated details I would not have thought about, and she balanced beauty with functionality perfectly. The end result not only looks great but also fits seamlessly with my daily routine and needs.

Workmanship

The construction was delivered with close attention to detail. Jo-ann ensured the workmanship was consistently high, from finishes to fittings, and made smooth arrangements with the subcontractors. Even when small hiccups arose, she handled them promptly and ensured recovery was done to a commendable standard.

Customer Service

Jo-ann provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. She was extremely responsive (even on weekends and after hours) and clear in her communication. She was accommodating to my schedule, patient in explaining details, and proactive in keeping me updated, which made the renovation experience far smoother than I had expected.

Value for Money

The renovation stayed within budget, and the final outcome exceeded my expectations. Jo-ann was transparent about costs and offered practical, design-focused advice that maximized value without compromising on quality. Considering the professionalism, workmanship, and overall pleasant experience, I felt the service delivered excellent value for money.

“Highly Recommended ID”

We had the pleasure of working with Sophia Yeong for our new condo, and we couldn't be happier with the entire process and the final result! From the very beginning, she truly understood our needs and budget, which caused her to stand out from other IDs we were evaluating. We wanted a simple luxe design, she understood our ideas quickly and came back with a design which surpasses our expectation. Her meticulous and detail-oriented approach was evident in every aspect of the design and execution. We were especially impressed by her dedication; she often went above and beyond, even responding to our WhatsApp messages late at night to ensure all our concerns were addressed promptly. This level of commitment truly made us feel valued. The workmanship is excellent, and we had very few defects because she did an outstanding job of following up constantly. She was always onsite when renovations were going on, ensuring the project stayed on track and that everything was executed properly. We highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a designer who is not only talented but also genuinely dedicated to delivering a seamless and satisfying renovation experience. Thank you!

“Transformative Home Renovation by a Skilled Designer"”

We recently worked with Joel Chan from The Interior Lab for our resale HDB renovation, and we are very satisfied with the results. Joel's meticulous attention to detail and her ability to create a practical design that aligned with our wishlist were commendable. With over 20 years of experience in interior design, she effectively tackled the unique challenges posed by our floor plan, including taking the initiative to correct some restrictions in the original BTO toilet layout. We entrusted the entire renovation to her, and she ensured that quality was maintained, completing the project ahead of our target date. We are happy with the end result, which features cozy lighting throughout the space. We confidently give her five stars for her solid work.

“Blending Aesthetic and Functionality”

We’re so glad we chose Calvin from The Interior Lab after meeting with over 10 other interior designers. He truly stood out with his creative design ideas and ability to blend both aesthetic appeal and functionality. From the start, Calvin understood our desire for a Japandi-inspired home and expertly incorporated this theme throughout the design. During the renovation process, his transparency and communication were exceptional. He always took the time to check in with us before making any decisions, ensuring we were fully involved. Calvin's attention to detail and commitment to our best interests, particularly when it came to cost considerations, was impressive. He also provided valuable tips and advice, ensuring that every choice we made was the best possible option.
