As we evolve, some things remain unchanged.

The values we carried from our days as professionals have become the bedrock of our business. Today, we're giving those same values a clearer shape, defining what they mean to us and how we put them into practice.

Because when someone entrusts us with their home, they deserve to know they're in good hands.

To us, a good home isn't simply one that looks good on Instagram. It's one that looks good, feels good, and serves the needs of the people living in it.

Ultimately, it boils down to:
One budget, one home.
We'll make it count.

This, is who we are.

The past few years as AWE Interiors have taught us a lot.

We’ve applied the best industry practices we picked up over the years, while staying close to the hands-on, personal nature of running a small business. Before we became business owners, we were professionals and specialists — and that experience continues to shape how we approach every project and every client.

Along the way, we’ve learned more about design, the industry, and what it really means to work with our clients.

And now, we’re reaching a point where our current setup no longer fits the company we’re becoming.

This is not goodbye. It’s the next stage of our growth.

We’re shedding what no longer serves us, strengthening what does, and building on the foundations we’ve spent years putting in place.

A new chapter is taking shape.

We are evolving. 💪🏻

Proposed design for our very first overseas project in Sai-O, Hongkong. This time round, the scope is different from what we are accustomed to. Instead of designing and building, we were contracted to design and advise while the owner's contractor do the renovation. Nevertheless it was an eye opening experience, as we were exposed to construction specifications, and renovation culture unique to Hongkong.

And on a personal note, this project takes me back when I redesigned my own room to suit my early adulthood needs. A space to eat, sleep, work, and above all: a sanctuary to rest from the daily grind. Fit for the day's purpose, while having adequate options for future additions.

Proposed design for a condo homeowner who wanted his home to be an all-white canvas with contrasting accents.

Rather than relying on built-ins and fixed finishes to bring colour into the home, we kept the architecture clean and neutral.

The idea was to let the loose furniture take center stage:
Introducing colour, texture and personality that can be changed over time without having to renovate the house all over again.

The darker accents help anchor the otherwise bright interior, while the lighter backdrop keeps the space open and lets each piece of furniture stand out.

Sometimes, designing a home isn't about deciding what colour it should be. It's about creating a space that gives you the freedom to decide that for yourself.

Proposed design for a trapezoidal home in Geylang, where the unusual footprint became the starting point rather than something to work around.

The challenge with irregular spaces is that conventional layouts don't always sit neatly within them. Instead of forcing everything into a standard arrangement, we worked with the geometry of the home to organise the kitchen, dining and living areas into a layout that feels intentional and functional. All while making sure their cats have a sizeable and private space tucked nicely into the corner 😉

Dark timber tones were paired with a lighter palette to keep the spaces from feeling too enclosed, while concealed storage helps keep the visual lines clean. The storage is also positioned intentionally between the living hall and the bedrooms, giving the homeowners and their children a degree of privacy between the shared and private spaces.

For us, good design isn't always about correcting an unusual space. Sometimes, it's about understanding the space well enough to make its quirks work for you.

Showroom visits can be exciting, especially when you start seeing all the things you could have in your home. But before you fall in love with a product, take a moment to understand what you're actually buying.

Will it fit your theme?
How shiok does it feel to use?
Does it suit your habits?
And what happens when you need to replace it years down the road?

A good showroom visit isn't just about finding something you like. It's about making sure what you like actually works for you. So go ahead, touch it, test it, ask questions. That's what showrooms are there for.

We're not here to gatekeep. We're here to help you make the most out of your renovation. 😉

Overlaying your toilet might seem like a straightforward affair, but having a shower kerb and screen often causes water to pool between the toilet bowl and the kerb.

This is due to the gradient of the drainage slope being hindered by the kerb. A quick fix is shown in the illustration.

For owners looking to demolish and retile the entire toilet to get that wet / dry separation, having a drainage opening to facilitate water flow isn't necessary since we're creating the gradient anew.

Though as always, site conditions still apply.

Renovation doesn't really end when the last worker leaves.

Some of the things you keep after your renovation can save you a lot of trouble years later.

Keep your leftover tiles. Keep your paint. Keep your appliance specifications and product information.

You may not need them today, but when something cracks, breaks or needs replacing five years down the road, you'll be glad you kept them.

Your future self will thank you. 😄

Proposed design for a bachelorette who loves cosy spaces with plenty of utility.

For her bedroom, we introduced a Murphy bed with Shoji-inspired doors, allowing the room to open up when she wants to host gatherings or make space for yoga sessions.

The living area was kept simple, with a swing chair, work desk and a custom bookshelf for her book collection and decor.

One of the details I particularly enjoyed working on was the proportion of the custom bookshelf. Chinese characters have a natural rhythm and proportion to them, and when those proportions are slightly off, the whole composition can look strangely unbalanced.

The challenge was finding that sweet spot between keeping the character proportions visually pleasing while still making sure the shelves remained practical for storage.

It took a fair bit of trial, error and, admittedly, eyeballing.

It's these little details that make designing a home interesting. Sometimes the challenge isn't about fitting more things into a space, but finding the right balance between how something looks and how it needs to work.

Proposed design for an expat couple who purchased a SOHO (Small Office Home Office). These units feature high ceilings within a compact footprint, challenging homeowners to make every square metre count.

We retained the existing steel structure and encapsulated it within a new loft design. Storage was thoughtfully integrated around the loft, allowing everyday essentials to remain within easy reach. Above, high-level display shelves were introduced to showcase the owners' collection of books and collectibles.

Moving into the kitchen, we opted to relaminate the existing cabinetry in lighter tones to brighten the space and create a greater sense of openness. We also refreshed the mobile island left behind by the previous owner, as the new homeowners had grown rather fond of it.

All in all, it was a wonderful challenge designing this SOHO. Working within compact spaces often reminds us that good design isn't about having more space—it's about making better use of the space you already have.

On a personal note, I would have changed the flooring too. 😄 But since the couple would only be based in Singapore for a few years, they felt it was something they could comfortably live with. Fair enough! Sometimes good design is also about knowing where not to spend.
