We would like to highly recommend Sze for anyone who need an ID and we are very pleased to have Sze with us throughout our renovation journey. We started our renovation on April 2023, before and during our renovation journey, Sze has been very helpful and responsive. She is very responsible throughout the journey. She is really professional and will help to oversee everything for us. No renovation will be perfect, even after the handover she continued to help us to rectify the defect till its perfectly done and being very responsive too. We are very happy and satisfied with her service.
My wife and I recently engaged IH design for our new home renovation and our assigned ID was Sze which we are extremely happy with the whole renovation process and of cause the final product.
A few outstanding reasons why we are highly recommending Sze from IH design. During our initial selection stage of ID, she is the only one out of the 7 other ID we shortlist that follows up promptly and tactfully. And when we eventually engaged her, she maintained her speed of reply and many a times due to our normal day working schedule, by the time when we ask her questions, it would be late night evening which she would still be very patient to assist us on our queries.
And during the renovation process, almost every day she is at the unit checking and ensuring things are done correctly and updates us daily with photos too. Really appreciate such high attention and meticulous to the design details.
As for the design of our place, it was a full tear and build up and she exceeded our expectations by delivering the handover by half a month earlier too! And despite being earlier, the 3rd party defect check company we engaged to check for defects rated the whole house 9.5/10. With only minor defects mention and 0 critical defects found!
So for anyone who is looking to engage an ID, I would definitely recommend Sze from IH design !
We are very pleased to have Mint and Sze with us throughout our renovation journey. Mint has been very creative and gave us 2 ideas on how to fully revamp our resale flat even during our initial consult which many designers wouldn't dare to during initial consultation. During our renovation journey, the ladies have been very helpful and responsive. They are very responsible and have passion in what they do. They also gone all their way out to help us to keep to our cost like finding for cheap and good deals for us! Their effort is 💯! They are really professional in house renovation and made the journey alot less taxing for us home owners. I have recommended them to my circle of friends. No regrets engaging them!

We've approached a few IDs before deciding on IH Design, and what made Mint and her team stand out is the practical ideas provided while still taking in account what we're going for (clean look, easy to maintain, spaciousness yet with enough storage). The team gave us good suggestions as well, like enclosing our second common room with our original Master, yet not compromising on privacy (eg. If one needs to work and the other is sleeping) when initially we wanted to just hack the wall to combine one common with our Master. For every suggestion given, they will consider your lifestyle habits and how functional the designs will be in the long run. Price wise, they are reasonable and renovation was delivered on time. The team manages their contractors well and you'll always be given updates without asking. 🙂 We've recommended a few friends and won't hesitate to recommend more!
Amazing experience with Sze and Mint from IH design!!
As first time home owners in Singapore, we gave our home reno to IH design after considering quotes from 4-5 IDs. It was not like IH gave us the lowest quote. But what we liked was their enthusiasm and idea which was different from others. The quote was detailed and we had detailed session in their office for each and every point they quoted. They were no hidden charges during the reno journey but only very minor VO that too because we insisted. Not only that, in this journey, they helped us with very minute stuff like the planning of appliances which were out of their scope. Not even one day they were uncontactable. They were available anytime and any day. Posted us with updates. Clarified our smallest queries with much patience.
They are so transparent and not even once we felt our decision was wrong. The house was handed over on time. We were really skeptical initially hearing all horror stories about renovation. But in their case , they handed over 5 days before the contract date. This is the 3rd month after handover. There were no major issues and even now they are always available for any queries or any minor repairs.
Our family want to thank you for your effort and dedication.
I would highly recommend IH design for a stress free reno experience.
We had the pleasure of working with IH Design, particularly Mint and her Designer Bee for the renovation of our house.
The current house we bought is a very old house and requires a major renovation. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident every step of the way.
Mint and her team truly transformed our current old house into a home that not only reflects what my wife is looking for and also exceeds our expectations. They listened carefully and candid with their professional advice to our ideas and preferences and expertly translated them into a design that perfectly suits our requirements.
Their ability to blend functionality with aesthetics is remarkable and we couldn't be happier with the results. Every room feels both inviting and functional, with thoughtful layouts and beautiful excellent quality furnishings that enhance the overall atmosphere and every space is maximized.
The communication throughout the project was exceptional. We were kept updated on progress via the WhatsApp group chat, promptly addressed any concerns or questions we had, and ensured that the project stayed on track and within budget.
Mint, Bee and her team's expertise, professionalism and dedication are highly commendable! Thanks to their talent and hard work, our house has been transformed into a place that we are proud to call home. We wholeheartedly recommend IH Design to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable interior designer.
Once again, thank you for a job well done!
My family and I had our home renovated by Mint and Kelvin, and we are very pleased with the design and the experience. Their consultative approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Mint’s attention to details ensured the design was practical (ie instead of something difficult to maintain subsequently) and soothing to the eye. Both Mint and Kelvin were very responsible, responsive, and easy to talk to throughout the project. We were overseas during the later part of the renovation and we still felt assured of the progress and the work delivered as the team kept us in the loop through photos and updates.
Even after the renovation ended, they remained committed to addressing any subsequent issues that cropped up.
We would recommend Mint and Kelvin to our friends who are renovating their homes.
We decided to engage Mint and her team as we felt very assured when we spoke and met and also we could feel the earnest in her.
During the entire process, she was very diligent in following up, explaining and was very detailed in her work. Mint, Kelvin and the team also went over and beyond their duties and did more than we expected. We were so fortunate to receive updates on quite a regular basis, that at no point were we worried at all during the renovation.
Thanks to Mint, Kelvin and her team, our renovation was completed with no issues and on a timely basis. We did our kitchen, service yard and 1 toilet all in 6 weeks.
Mint continued to follow up with us to make sure everything’s fine even after handover.
I will definitely recommend Mint, Kelvin and the team!!!!
We are very glad to have met Bee as our ID.
She had been very patience and accomodating throughout the service period.
Her designs are impressive, most of which I accepted accordingly.
And she willingly & happily make changes to certain aspects of design to suit my preferences & requests during the renovation process.
Bee is also very meticulous towards details and patience with us whenever we raise additional request to fine tune the design as well.
We are highly recommended IH Design , Bee for her great service and good design.
We are very satisfied with the nice & cozy color theme by designer Bee from IH Design . Through out the whole renovation period she communicated with us frequently and updated us with the progress. She coordinated with subcon very well to ensure everything completed within scheduled time. She was also very frank to us with what can be done within our budget. Overall she was very efficient, thoughtful and cheerful ID. We stronghly recommend her as your home designer.
Previously, I’ve worked with other contractors and interior designer for other projects (Office & Home) but the whole working experience was very frustrating to say the least. Even though they were supposed to be the Project Manager for the renovation project, oftentimes I found myself having to step up and fill their shoes – else things will go haywire, or the project deadline will be extended indefinitely. Not forgetting to mention all the heart-stopping moments and all the precious time and money wasted…
Thankfully, IH Design Lab was NOT one of them. Working with their Interior Designers, Mint and Sze was truly a refreshing experience – which was unlike any previous ones whom I’ve engaged previously. What sets IH Design Lab apart from the rest is that they are a systematic and well-organised Team with Professionalism as one of their core values.
Having gone through several renovation projects myself and hearing different horror stories from my friends, I can safely say IH Design Lab is a REAL GEM in the highly congested renovation industry which is often plagued by many incidences of dodgy practices and unqualified individuals or companies with poor standards and bad service.
Mint and Sze really know their stuff. The moment they received our Project Brief, they already proposed a couple of layout plans for our consideration – and that was even before we’ve even decided and confirmed that we are giving them the project! We can feel their sincerity. (This was unlike some of the other ID firms we spoke to for this project, which came across as ‘pushy’ or ‘salesy’)
As this was the first time we were fitting out a commercial unit within the retail mall, we were initially worried. But Mint & Sze were able to guide us every step of the way – to navigate smoothly through the whole process – from submitting the various paperwork to the Mall Management, URA and SCDF - to giving us practical and well-considered advice for partitioning, tiling, electrical works, wallpaper and signage.
What I love most is the fact that Mint and Sze are proactive in giving updates to their clients. Throughout the whole project, they kept us in the loop of things via regular phone calls and whatsapp video calls. There was no need for us to chase after them for stuff.
They are also pretty hands-on people so we felt reassured knowing that they were at the project site to supervise the independent sub-contractors whenever any major installation work is carried out.
From start to finish, the entire renovation process took us only 4 weeks. Even the Mall’s Ops Manager was most impressed with the speed of their execution.
Professional, Precise and Prompt – these are the 3 words to sum up our working experience with IH Design Lab.
Really thank God that we chanced upon them. We saved ourselves not just the time and money, but also lots of headaches and heartaches in the process.
IH Design Lab is definitely our Number ONE choice for our future renovation projects.
We would definitely recommend any smart homeowners or business owners who are looking for reliable, professional interior design service for their renovation projects.
Once again, thank you, Mint & Sze!
Sze , Designer from IH Design left a deep impression in us from the first meeting.
She did not try to entice us with offers or promotions to
get us to sign a contract. Instead, she took much time
and effort to get a thorough understanding of the
current state of the property, gauge the project
schedule and renovation timeline based on our
requirements, and help us to better understand our
renovation goals versus what is achievable due to
existing HDB renovation guidelines and regulations.
From the first meeting till the conclusion of the project,
she has proven to be dedicated and fully committed. To
accommodate our availability, she arranged for fewer
but longer meetings to plan and confirm the renovation
design and materials, which worked well for us. During
each meeting, she gave practical advices and
advocated functional design over pure aesthetics.
Once the renovation went underway, she kept us well
informed of the work progress and what will be done
next. Despite her busy schedules, she made a point to
reply our calls and messages quickly. We were promptly
informed of any unforeseen circumstances and had
sufficient time to discuss on the next best alternative
without affecting the projected timeline. Thanks to IH Design
and her team’s hard work.
We engaged Bee as our ID. She was very experienced in our desired theme for our house with attention for details.
She took the time to listen attentively to my ideas, ensuring every aspect of the design reflected my personal taste.
I am very satisfied with her service and the contractors' workmanship quality. The whole project is according to my budget and reno is on track without any delay. I have also recommended a friend to engage her service.
We worked with designer Sze IH design on our resale HDB
renovation.She was great at listening to our vision for
the house and also provided very good quality design
ideas, which suited our lifestyles. She also very prompt
and patient in responding to our long list of questions
and always kept us updated of the progress with
photos and videos. We are very glad to work with her
and will definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a smooth, stress-free renovation process without
any compromise on the quality.
Our friend engaged Designer Mint of IH design to renovate her place. Needless
to say, we were impressed with her work, so we asked
our friend to refer us to IH Design .We are very happy with the
final look and feel of our home. While she was really
accommodating to our design changes, we really
appreciate that she would sometimes advise against
some of our design preferences. As first-time home
owners, what we find on the internet and Instagram
might not translate well in an actual living space for the
long term with her expertise and experience, we were
able to strike a good balance between form and
function.
She is great attitude and responsiveness maintained after
handover, after final payment. We feel this is something
that people take for granted. The "after sales support"
by she continues to be great. We wrote this review more
than a month after handover, and she is still very ready
to help us. We'll definitely recommend IH Design to our friends
who might be setting up their own homes.
As a first time home owner renovating the house, I had the good luck of hiring Ms Mint of IH Design to take on the project. Due to some personal circumstances I had to delay the renovation even though Ms Mint had scheduled all the works. She was very understanding and accommodating.
When the projects started, she handles the renovation works with little supervision on my part. I hardly need to be present to solve any problems during the renovation process. She is very responsive and patient with any questions I had. She even went beyond her job scope to help me with the project, for that I am very appreciative.
I would like to thank Ms Mint and her team for their good works.
Wishing you the best in your future endeavours.
Sincerely,
Amanda Liong
Under the recommendation of an old friend, we had
engaged Sze as my ID to do up the renovation of my
unit .From start till end she had consistently provided me
with good advice on important issues such as the
choice of material and layout planning etc.She also
provode us with 3D drawings to help us to have better
visualisation. She had paid multiple visits to the site in
order to better understand the nuances and discuss the
project in greater details with us. We also wish to praise
the workers who were very nice and helpful to
accommodate my requests. Now we stayed in the unit
for a couple of months and am very pleased with the
end product. The workmanship is great and she was
able to deliver what she has promised. The after sale
service is great too.. To those that we looking for an ID
to design and do up your new place, I will strongly
recommend IH Design and Sze for your consideration.
Mint is a responsible and creative ID. She came up with the theme and concept for my HDB flat and the end product looks fantastic! The best part of my house is the terrazzo toilet floor tiles as it’s very unique and received alot of compliments from my family and friends. Mint also ensures that any hiccups after the renovation was being followed up promptly and this shows that she’s customer oriented. I will highly recommend Mint to anyone who would like to renovate their place!
Our designer is Mint and Kelvin. Both are extreamly talented and professional individuals. Both of them worked hand in hand and gave us their best.
Mint provided us with timely update on the renovation progress and was very responsive on our requests. Her contractors have been with her for many years. Through our conversations, we can see that they respect Mint a lot and they always give us the assurance that Mint is a responsible ID.
Kelvin focus on contractor management and he helped us alot by negoitating with the contractor to give us the best price. He is also a very hands on individual. He taught us how to set up almost all our home appliances and digital locks. We also observed that he is always keen to learn hands on skills from his contractor.
We are super grateful to Mint & Kelvin throughout our renovation progress and we will definetly look for Mint & Kelvin for our next renovation. Thank you so much once again.
As an excited first home owner, we have been very diligent in sourcing the right interior designing services to make sure that we are able to live at our dream home. We have chanced upon Mint and Kelvin at the initial ID shortlisting process while subsequently spoken with several other ID firms as well, however we have eventually engaged Mint and Kelvin given that both of them has set a very good impression to us because of their design ideas and professionalism. We have no regrets with our decision since. Mint is very knowledgeable in the field and has given us her professional advice from space planning to design consultation which helped our house to maximize the spaces of our house and yet marrying the ideal design that we wished to have. While Kelvin has been very meticulous with the design details and responsive in managing all our queries as well as solid vendor management. Both Mint and Kelvin teamed up to be super team that you can confidently rely on. The workmanship of their contractors are also great and we are very satisfy with all the finishing. Despite of that, there would not be any perfect renovation project without any hiccups. However, both Mint and Kelvin has been very responsive and attentive to instantly mange the minor hiccups for our renovation project and ensure that everything are rectified accordingly. With that, we really admire both Mint and Kelvin for their professionalism here. We are utterly grateful for Mint and Kelvin, as well as their team's hard work to provide us the dream house of our own, and we highly recommend anyone to engage them if you wish to have your dream house and a smooth renovation journey.
Mint (ID) is highly recommended for any new or existing homeowner that's looking for a prompt and fuss free renovation.
She delivered promptly according to timeline given, answered all our doubts and even gave suggestions for future planning. Tackled any issues that surfaced during n post renovation swiftly.
We were very satisfied with the entire renovation journey with Mint. Entrusting her with our first time renovation was the best decision ever, Thank you!
We shortlisted Mint for the ID works for our resale property, based on our initial interaction with her. While prices were not the cheapest, she left a very good impression because of her sincerity and enthusiasm. Prior to starting the renovation work, we had a series of very detailed meetings at her office which mapped out exactly what would be done, from concept design to details such as socket positions. All discussions with her, Kelvin, and Carol, were properly documented and shared with us in a group chat. The ID team was open to our ideas and offered their valuable advice based on their experience. The renovation work was carried out during the pandemic. Despite the restrictions, their team was able to organize the various sub-contractors to carry out their work efficiently and seamlessly according to plan without any delays. The team was very responsive to our feedback/comments during site work, and changes were made very promptly. All variation works during renovation were properly recorded and listed for final verification and accounting purpose. Upon completion, the team attended to any defects that we highlighted very quickly. We are very happy to have worked with Mint’s team, and will not hesitate to recommend her team.

3-bedder overhaul under 44 days, anyone? We really do not think you’ll find someone who’s as knowledgeable & dedicated. In the course of inspecting the handover, we’ve had the luxury to “simply voice out” our queries to Mint (head designer). She never failed to put a smile on my wife and I, whenever we inspect each deliverable 15 days before moving in. Unparalleled mastery, quality & value-for-budget. Thank you & kudos to your team! We really appreciate the work & we know, these are going to last us a long long time. (Photos will be shared later, we promise!)
