Havana Interiors – Interior Designer, Grace Hooper
What is Havana Interiors, and how can its interior design services help our readers?
Havana Interiors is a boutique company that specialises in high-end renovation and interior design services in Singapore. I’ve been operating it here since early 2018.
I’m an Australian expat with over 19 years of experience in renovation and interior design. With entrepreneurial parents buying and developing property, I grew up on a construction site from a young age, and renovated my first property at 22. Since then, I haven’t looked back, and I’m definitely at my happiest when at work and seeing a transformation in progress!
Havana Interiors also helps clients who are moving from abroad to set up and furnish their new homes, so that when they arrive in Singapore they can settle in straight away. Being a boutique service, we offer personalised assistance every step of the way during the design process. We liaise with all of the contractors, furniture stores and organise delivery to ensure a seamless and stress-free process. We have done many remote projects so the client can arrive to a furnished home on day one in Singapore.
There is also a new service called ‘Designed in a Day’, which is especially beneficial for longer-term expats who need a refresh and some updating of some items of furniture. It includes coming to your home for a few hours and assessing the space, helping with moving furniture and styling the spaces using your existing pieces. We bring in a handyman to hang artworks, and also help you to source any pieces needed to complete your home. This is a boutique service I offer in conjunction with my regular clients – and the demand has been high, which is great.
Tell us about some of your renovation projects.
We have furnished and renovated condos, shophouses, black-and-whites, landed bungalows, penthouses and Good Class Bungalows (GCB).
Just completed is a full renovation of a $40 million GCB, which includes a new tennis court, pool, wine cellar, gym and nine bathrooms and two kitchens! Everything has been stripped back to the concrete walls and fully redone from the plumbing, electrics, insulation, roof and solar power. It’s been an amazing project over the last year and a half, and the final result is stunning.
Why is hiring an interior designer beneficial?
Havana Interiors designs clever spaces that are functional, beautiful and mindful of what will be the best long-term design. We also save you money as we’ve done this many times over – we have the contacts, ideas and problem-solving skills to ensure you don’t have any costly mishaps along the way. We stay away from ‘fast furniture’ and select pieces that stand the test of time, both in design and quality. It’s better for the environment and also your wallet as you don’t need to replace items after a few years.
Clients often show me their home country property, so when designing their Singapore residence I can ensure the pieces will fit and suit their home overseas when they relocate.
Hiring Havana Interiors means you can tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience of all things design, building and furniture. We’ll save you from any potential issues as this is what I live and breathe (and also dream about at night)! We have built strong relationships with stores and suppliers over the years, both in Singapore and abroad. Having your home perfectly designed and cohesive is a worthwhile investment for your happiness in your home which you will enjoy for years to come.
As an interior designer, do you have a specific aim or style?
Havana Interiors’ design ethos is to encapsulate the feeling of peace and calm in the home, with a relaxed vibe and a neutral palette where colours can be added as needed. Each item is selected with purpose and care to fit the design of the room, and the clients’ needs. Since many people live in apartments here, I bring the outdoors in with plants and as much natural light as possible, grounding us with nature and giving the feeling of tranquillity.
What do you love most about being an interior designer in Singapore?
My favourite part is getting to know people I wouldn’t have met otherwise! My clients range in age and ethnicity, and I get to see their art and trinkets from their travels or expat stints around the world, which I incorporate in my designs. This also gives me an insight into their personality and their style. Also, seeing the home being transformed still excites me so much, but also witnessing the clients’ delight in their new home gives me great personal satisfaction!

Arete Culture – Interior Design Services, Caroline Chin Geyler
How would you recommend a reader choose the right interior design services for them?
I think expertise counts just as much as the connection you have with your interior designer or stylist. Their job is to push you out of your comfort zone so you consider ideas and products that you wouldn’t have before. After all, you have hired them because you like their taste and their work. It’s quite an intimate process, so trust in your designer is fundamental in making the journey fun and comfortable.
I recommend having an in-person conversation with potential designers, home stylists or decorators before hiring them. You should also look at client reviews for comments on the process. The way we work with each client is different. We’ve done whole projects where the homeowners are out of the country and have literally given us keys to their space. We’ve also done homes where the client has a keen interest in decorating and wants to be more involved in the process. The thread that binds these projects is the client’s trust and comfort in us, which is often something mutually established from the first meeting.
Do you work with specific looks or styles?
Our projects are less about adhering to a specific style and more about fusing the characteristics of a space, the functionalities required and lifestyles of our clients. To that end, Arete Culture always aims for homes that feel cohesive, comfortable, and most importantly, are an extension of our clients. We believe the end result is a reflection of our clients’ aesthetic sensibilities, fine-tuned with a designer’s eye for tactile, subtle details. Their homes are always spaces that they intuitively resonate with.
Our process takes away the stress that comes with building a home to allow our clients clarity on what they need from their space. This way, we can understand how to design a home that has longevity – a space that will grow with them as their lifestyle changes and their needs evolve. This is why our interior design concepts tend to forgo excessive built-ins. While useful in increasing storage or creating focal points at home, the designs can feel limiting in the years to come.
With our roots in interior styling, we prefer to focus on building good, classic bones for the home. We then supplement that with versatile standalone pieces that can be moved around more easily. These pieces are always made with hard-wearing solid wood, natural stone, glass and powder-coated steel. Or they are upholstered in fabrics that will always provide a great base to style with, in greys, creams and blues.
What do you love about your job?
I love helping our clients understand that the homes we live in have such a big impact on our lives. Having a well-designed home doesn’t just mean it looks beautiful, but that it functions the way you need it to and can transform your mood and wellbeing. I particularly love moments when clients open the door to their freshly made-over space. Knowing we as interior stylists have helped them bring their dream space to life is something I will never take for granted.

E&A Interiors – Interior Designer, Chlöe Elkerton
How can E&A Interiors help our readers with their interior design?
E&A Interiors is a bespoke interior design studio specialising in creating unique and beautiful homes full of character and warmth whilst capturing everything that you need and treasure about your home. We offer a full range of decorating and interior design services, from refreshing a single room, several rooms, custom cabinetry and furniture, right through to fully managed larger scale renovations of apartments, landed houses and black-and-whites.
With over 15 years of experience designing high-end homes in Singapore and internationally, we work with a dedicated and trusted network of contractors, suppliers, furniture makers and artisans. We manage every aspect of the project to allow for a seamless and stress-free experience with consistent communication, time management and clear budgeting. Our expansive knowledge and site experience helps us always strive for the best solutions alongside our meticulous attention to detail which ensures a perfectly finished project.
We take a personalised approach to the design and help our clients turn their aspirations for their home into a reality. Whether it’s a rented apartment or a renovation project, we aim to breathe new energy into a home. We thoughtfully listen to understand our clients’ needs and collaborate closely with them using our keen and objective eye. We’ll often try to encourage them to step outside of their comfort zone! We fundamentally believe in creating quality interiors that stand the test of time, whether we’re designing an entire house or a corner of a room. And we always try to introduce new elements to keep our work looking fresh and interesting.
Do you work with specific looks or styles?
We strive to create homes that are original, welcoming and full of character. Spaces that reflect the spirit of their owners while also enriching their daily lifestyles. Our unique look is achieved through our detailing and layering, whether that is in pattern, colour, texture, mixing old and new or through materials. We then adapt this personalised approach for each client, resulting in a design that’s personal to them. We work with clients’ existing furniture, their treasures and artworks, incorporating them with new pieces and building schemes that are rich and full of depth. The result is homes that are visually interesting and carefully considered. In our design studio, we house an impressive library of fabrics and wallpapers from incredible designers such as Peter Dunham, Penny Morrison, Lisa Fine and Fermoie. These are often the starting point of our designs.
How do you balance functionality with aesthetics in your designs?
We take the time to fully understand our clients’ lifestyle and needs, and how they will use spaces so we can enrich their daily lives. Our craft is in getting the right balance between form, function, and atmosphere. The ultimate goal is to be surrounded by style, comfort and the memories that you want to feel and see every day.
What do you love about being an interior designer?
At E&A Interiors we are all really passionate about what we do! Each project is different, and we like to push the boundaries to make our work fresh and exciting. I think this shines through in the finished result. We love designing inspiring and joyful homes and creating environments for our clients that are reflective of their lives. We always inject a little magic into the spaces!
I personally love that being an interior designer enables me to draw on my passion for design, nature, travels and wonderful textiles and bring these inspirations to every home. I enjoy meeting diverse and interesting people and also seeing the smile on a client’s face when they see the final transformation of a space which makes all the hard work worth it!

Originals – Interior Design Services, Geri Murphy
How can your interior design services in Singapore help our readers?
At Originals, we see ourselves as partners in the process of creating a home that feels personal and lived-in. While we are not interior designers, our team is always on hand to offer thoughtful guidance, whether it’s helping you to visualise a layout or suggesting pieces that work beautifully together.
Our showroom is designed to inspire. With over 40 styled settings, each space reflects a mix of cultures, materials, and craftsmanship from across Africa, Europe, and Asia. Whether you’re exploring living room furniture ideas or looking for a cohesive home styling direction, it’s a place to discover what resonates with your space.
Do you specialise in specific looks or styles?
Our collection is intentionally versatile, but we tend to gravitate towards a few key aesthetics: Wabi Sabi, Japandi, and Rustic. These styles share a common thread of simplicity, balance, and an appreciation for natural materials.
Rather than following trends, we focus on pieces that feel timeless. Many of our designs, from bed frames to dining tables and sideboards, have remained part of our collection for years. It’s a reflection of our belief that well-made furniture should evolve with your home and remain relevant over time.
What is your team passionate about?
We’re passionate about creating homes that feel meaningful, not just beautiful. A big part of that comes from our commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing.
We carefully consider the materials we use and the way each piece is made, favouring durability and craftsmanship over mass production. In a culture that often leans towards fast and disposable, we believe in slowing things down—choosing furniture that lasts, and that you’ll continue to enjoy for years to come.
How do you incorporate these eco-friendly elements into your designs?
Sustainability is embedded in how we design and curate our collection. Our timber furniture is crafted from responsibly sourced solid teak and oak, materials chosen for both their durability and natural character.
We also design with longevity in mind. Our sofas, for example, come with removable and washable covers, making them easy to maintain and adapt over time. It’s about creating pieces that can grow with you, reducing the need for replacement.
If you’re looking to refresh your space with furniture that is both considered and enduring, we invite you to explore our collection and discover what feels right for your home.

Flourish Consultancy – Interior Design Services, Jill Murdoch
How can Flourish Consultancy help our readers with their interior design?
We offer a fresh, curated and intuitive approach to interior styling for people who want their homes to feel both beautiful and personal. After decades in the creative industries, I’ve developed a keen eye and strong instinct for how spaces evolve and how carefully chosen pieces can elevate the feel of a room. The focus isn’t on following strict design rules, but on helping clients discover how colour, texture, art and objects can come together to create a space that feels layered, interesting and truly their own.
Since opening the business, I’ve been working with clients in a variety of ways. Many clients simply want help refreshing a corner of their home or finding those final elements that bring cohesion and personality to their interiors – and we’re happy to provide that at our Chip Bee studio.
We have also launched a service offering more focused guidance through “Spaces that Flourish”, a one-hour consultation where we look at a room together and explore how best to transform its overall look and feel. Often, it’s about editing what’s already there, introducing new layers of texture or artwork, or adding a few carefully chosen pieces that make everything feel more balanced and complete.
One of the real joys of Flourish is the collective of independent brands, artisans and artists we’ve brought together. This allows us to source special pieces you won’t easily find elsewhere in Singapore – from statement rugs to original artwork, vintage textiles and decorative objects with real character.
Do you work with specific looks or styles?
Rather than working with one fixed style, I prefer to respond to the personality of the client and the character of the space.
Flourish is known for an eclectic, layered style that combines contemporary pieces with elements of craft, texture and global influences. An expat since I was a child, I’ve lived and worked in many countries, so I’m naturally drawn to mixing styles and stories – combining modern interiors with artisanal textiles, vintage finds, distinctive artwork or working in collaboration with a specific artist to create something new for a client’s space.
Our aim is to create spaces that feel collected rather than decorated – homes that evolve organically, pieces that tell a story and reflect the lives of the people who live in them.
How do you balance functionality with aesthetics in your designs?
For me, great design always starts with how people actually live in a space. A home needs to work for everyday life before anything else – whether that means entertaining friends, working from home, or creating a calm retreat from the pace of city life.
Once that foundation is clear, the creative exploration focuses on layering in warmth, texture and visual interest. This could be through artwork that anchors a room, lighting that creates atmosphere, or textiles that add comfort and character.
Often, it’s the smaller details, creating a focal point – a beautifully placed lamp, a striking rug, a bold textural wall hanging – that can transform and elevate a space without compromising practicality. The goal is always to create spaces that are both liveable and visually inspiring.
What do you love about being an interior designer?
While I’m not a formally trained interior designer, I’ve spent decades working with brands, design and creative environments, honing an instinctive understanding of how spaces come together. I love the ability to transform and elevate how people feel in their homes, making it become somewhere people genuinely enjoy spending time. When a client tells me their home finally feels more “them,” that’s always the most rewarding moment. Through Flourish, I can also champion independent artists and makers whose work deserves to be discovered.

Edited Homes – Interior Styling & Home Setup Studio, Priya & Yudi
What is Edited Homes, and how can it help our readers with their interior design?
Edited Homes is what happens when good design meets real life. We’re a digital-first interior styling studio in Singapore, built for busy expats who don’t have the time to figure out where to start, what to buy, or how to make everything come together.
In just six months, we’ve styled over 120 homes across Singapore – from completely empty rentals to fully personalised spaces that feel like home from day one.
One of our favourite projects was for a client who wasn’t even in Singapore. We handled everything for her – from sourcing and deliveries to final styling. It meant she arrived to a home that was fully set up and ready to live in.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or refreshing your space, we help you skip the usual stress. No endless store-hopping, no second-guessing decisions, no costly mistakes. You get clear direction, curated selections, and a home that feels considered and complete.
Tell us about your interior design services, projects and specific looks and style.
We’ve worked on everything from compact city apartments to large landed homes, but the brief is often the same: people want a home that looks great, but also works for how they actually live. That balance between function and feeling is at the core of what we do.
Our aesthetic leans towards warm, modern spaces that feel layered and personal rather than overly styled. Across projects, you’ll see influences like Japandi minimalism, more refined urban looks, and Scandinavian-inspired spaces with warmth. But we have not always coloured within the lines, styling homes in Bauhaus, Brutalist and Modern Indian aesthetics.
We also spend a lot of time designing homes for families, where practicality matters just as much as how things look. Good storage, thoughtful layouts, and pieces that can evolve over time are a big part of that.
What is your team passionate about?
We’re passionate about making good design feel straightforward and accessible. For most people, the challenge isn’t a lack of options. It’s having too many options, with no clear way to make decisions. That’s where we come in. We simplify the process, help clients make confident choices, and ensure everything comes together cohesively.
A lot of what we enjoy is in the detail – space planning, storage solutions, and the small decisions that make a home feel pulled together without it being obvious why.
What do you love about what you do at your interior styling studio?
The moment when a client sees their space and it finally feels like theirs.
Moving to a new city can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Your home should feel like a place you can settle into quickly, not another project to manage. We enjoy being able to take that pressure off and create something that feels calm, personal, and easy to live in.
Every project is different, shaped by the people we work with. Being part of that process – and seeing it come together – is what makes it rewarding.

Interior Couturier – Interior Designer, Miranda Kozan
How can Interior Couturier help our readers with their interior design?
Interior Couturier is a full-service interior design studio based in Singapore, working primarily with expat families who want a home that feels considered, personal and easy to live in.
We guide our clients from concept through to completion. That includes space planning, renovations, materials, furniture, lighting and final styling, with a strong focus on custom joinery, considered layouts and pieces designed to last beyond a single home.
Our work is shaped by experience. Having lived internationally for many years, I understand how transient life can feel without a sense of home. That perspective informs how we design. We look beyond how a space will photograph and focus on how it will be lived in over time.
Most of our clients are navigating relocations, rental constraints or tight timelines. We design with that in mind. Pieces that can move with you, layouts that support daily life, and homes that feel grounded, even if you are not there forever.
Do you work with specific looks or styles?
I don’t work to a fixed style. Each project is shaped by the client and how they live, so no two homes feel the same.
What carries through is a way of working. We focus on proportion, materiality and how everything sits together. I tend to work with a restrained palette, allowing materials, texture and form to do the work rather than relying on trends or decoration.
The aim is always to create a home that feels layered, personal and settled. Something that reflects the people who live there and continues to feel right over time.
How do you balance functionality with aesthetics in your designs?
Function comes first. We spend time understanding how a home is actually used. Daily routines, how the space flows, what needs to be stored, what should be seen, and where things tend to fall apart.
From there, we resolve the layout and joinery. That foundation allows everything else to follow. When the planning is right, the aesthetic does not need to be forced. It sits naturally within the space.
The end result should feel both considered and effortless. A home that works quietly in the background, while still feeling calm and visually resolved.
What do you love about being an interior designer?
I love the shift that happens when a home starts to support the way someone lives. It’s not just about how a space looks; it’s about how it feels to move through it, to live in it, to come home to it at the end of the day.
In Singapore, many of our clients are building a home in a place that is not permanent. Being able to create that sense of belonging, even for a few years, is something I find incredibly rewarding.

Patria Home & Decor – Patria Ramadha
How can Patria Home & Decor help our readers with their interior design?
From simple refreshes to seamless makeovers. Clients may be looking to redecorate a living and dining room, bedrooms, transform the entire home or move into an empty house. Patria is here to help, from conceptualising the design, selecting materials, finding the furniture, refurbishment work and curating accessories, to the finishing touches on makeover day. As interior designers and home stylists, we have transformed many homes in Singapore, from black-and-white houses, big bungalows and luxury condos to HDBs. Our experienced team will help you to make your dream home a reality.
We have expanded our services to include commercial space designing and styling as well, from restaurants to offices.
What questions do you typically ask your clients before getting to work?
I always start with information on which areas of the home need help. Usually, my clients want to transform the whole part of the home, but many of them prioritise the open space (living, dining, balcony) and master bedroom first. What style they are looking for is the most important thing to ask to set the character of the home. Then I can envision how to bring out the personality of the client to my styling work. That’s why I believe every home should be different.
The family profile and daily routines or hobbies is an important aspect to ask about as it will actuate the space planning. What existing elements will they reuse and what other items will I need to source or create for them? I also need to establish if there are meaningful pieces that we need to highlight in the design. Lastly, I always try to work within my client’s budget, so it’s important to know whether they want a high-quality piece or something more affordable (without sacrificing quality). This will then determine where to source the furniture and other pieces.
For commercial space, the approach is a bit different; we first need to understand the brand’s positioning, its essence, and its target market.
Do you specialise in specific looks or styles?
I love to mix and match different styles – it helps in making a home look cosy without overlooking the luxe feel. I grew up admiring Art Deco, colonial and tropical designs. As I grew older, I started to fall in love with geometrics and textures in contemporary style. That background has brought a little bit of eclectic in my design. I would define my style as ‘Contemporary Eclectic’. This style is actually perfect if you wish to use your current furniture and add on some new pieces to change the look.
Of course, as good interior designers and home stylists will know, when it comes to designing clients’ homes, it’s not about what they like, but what the client likes. It’s important for me to capture my client’s personality. My job is really running through their vision through my filter and knowledge. I’ve had a range of enquiries from coastal style, bohemian and classic American to Hollywood glam. The advantage of being eclectic is I understand how to bring into play different types of style when it’s required.
What do you love about your job?
Everything! Mostly because I can fully express my creativity and ideas. While styling and sourcing is a big part of the job, being organised and project management are things I’m passionate about. It’s very gratifying to know that my work has contributed to enhancing other people’s quality of life. Because design and styling is not only about how it looks, but also how it works in daily life. A happy client is the best reward, and this is pure satisfaction for me as a designer.
