"Astounding transformation of my 3-room flat into a charming and gorgeous abode!!"
Our flat is situated in the mature estate of Bedok and is a typical old school, original state of condition. As we did not renovate when we first moved in, After living in for 7 years, my husband and I decided to overhaul the entire place as everything seems to be falling apart.
So we went to scout from 5 IDs and renovation contractors for quotes and ideas.
A family friend gave us a very strong recommendation for Ideology Interior's Sebastian, as our friend had his 5 room flat designed and renovated by him too. We were also impressed with his home back then as well.
Very practical and streamlined design, we found the place very comfortable and cozy whenever we visited him.
From our interaction with Sebastian, we are certain that he is a veteran in the business.
A no-nonsense kind of demeanor, he provided straightforward and insights to many details in renovating our almost run-down flat of 40 years.
While majority of the IDs we met seem relatively similar to each other, almost all but Sebastian just provided a hand sketch floor plan and a quotation.
Sebastian, on the other hand, provided us with a very neat computer drawn floor plan. Not only did he just do furniture floor plan, he even did up plans for lighting and electrical too!
Every other ID we met, claimed that they cant ascertain the electrical and lighting plan so they will have to decide after works has started and will bring us to site to discuss the electrical, and then quote accordingly. We thought that was the norm in the industry.
Surprised, we asked Sebastian how come he could provide us the electrical and lighting. He just gave a quizzical look and replied..
well i design your whole house, why would i not know where you would need lights and power?
We wondered about those IDs who told us otherwise.....
He is really not the atypical IDs we have met.
He was able to point out the challenges and issues arising from such old flats and what needs to be done.
He took into account our needs and transform it into actualization.
Additionally, his creative flair in design helped shaped the final outcome of our place.
We really appreciated the honesty and straightforward opinion he had shown us throughout the whole process from planning to execution.
Everything was on schedule to the dot of his project schedule given to us.
The whole team of workers and contractors from Ideology Interior can really work well together. They kept the house clean every end day even while renovation works was on-going.
Every night when we drop by to take a look of the process, it was often clean and tidy and rubbish is all collected and bagged nicely in a corner.
Truly a pleasant surprise to have such responsible group of people working on our house.
IDEOLOGY INTERIOR really is a exception from the normalcies that we have heard or encountered prior to renovating this house of ours.
Their commitment and knowledge indeed spans across design consultation and project management to even being hands-on to correct some minor defects we found on the spot!
Me and my husband think they are more than a Interior Design firm, the team is professional and skilled. And most importantly, Problem-Solvers.
Key Attributes:
Excellent workmanship and design-
Space management that visually makes our home wider with ample space to move around.
Deliberate and creative use of texture, color and clean lines to create a contemporary style.
Carpentry workmanship is of good standards. Where we point out some issues, they would just correct the problem without giving any excuses.
Simply a great experience working with Sebastian and IDEOLOGY INTERIOR. Strongly Recommended!
