As new homeowners stepping into the world of renovation for the first time, my partner and I were naturally anxious about the entire process. Looking back now, we can confidently say that engaging Jonathan from 21 Interior Studios was one of the best decisions we made for our home. From the very first meeting all the way to handover, Jonathan displayed a rare combination of professionalism, creativity, patience, and genuine care that truly set him apart.
Jonathan took the time to understand our lifestyle, our preferences, and even the smallest habits that would influence our home layout. Instead of rushing us or imposing his own ideas, he patiently walked us through every option, including materials, layouts, colour schemes, and fittings, giving us thoughtful advice rooted in experience. Even when we took longer to decide, Jonathan never once showed impatience. He broke down the pros and cons clearly and guided us towards choices that were both beautiful and practical.
One thing that stood out the most was Jonathan’s eye for design and detail. He was able to take our vague inspirations and translate them into a cohesive, stunning design that we could never have imagined ourselves. His sense of material matching, lighting placement, colour balance, and overall flow of the home was simply impressive. We trusted his recommendations wholeheartedly, and we’re glad we did, because the end result is something we are incredibly proud to call home.
Throughout the renovation, Jonathan was very hands-on and proactive. As both of us were busy with work, we truly appreciated how he personally monitored every stage of the renovation, coordinated with the contractors, and updated us regularly with progress photos and videos. Whenever an issue cropped up, Jonathan was quick to address it before we even had to ask. He made sure everything, from carpentry to plumbing to electrical works, was completed smoothly and to a high standard.
He was also extremely transparent and honest with costs, something that we valued a lot. Jonathan worked within our budget without compromising on quality, recommending cost-efficient alternatives when necessary and always keeping us informed of any changes. We felt very comfortable sharing our constraints with him because he never pushed unnecessary upselling and genuinely had our best interests at heart.
Even after handover, Jonathan continued to follow up with us to ensure that we were settling in well and that everything was functioning perfectly. His dedication and responsibility didn’t just stop once the final payment was made, a true sign of someone who takes pride in his work and values his clients.
Overall, Jonathan and the team at 21 Interior Studios delivered an experience that far exceeded our expectations. We are deeply grateful for the beautiful home he has created for us, as well as the smooth, stress-free renovation journey.
We sincerely and wholeheartedly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for an interior designer who is trustworthy, talented, and genuinely passionate about his craft. If you want an ID who listens, delivers quality, and treats your home as if it were his own, Jonathan is the one.
Thank you, Jonathan, for bringing our dream home to life! 🏡✨
