Marble Design is an interior design practice working across Singapore homes and small commercial spaces. We plan the layout, specify the materials, detail the carpentry and hold the drawings that the contractor builds from — so what you approve is what gets built.

01 — Services
Seven ways we work on a space.
Take the whole scope or a single piece of it. Most clients start with a consultation, then decide how far they want us involved through the build.
01
Full residential interior design
Whole-home design from first measure to handover. Space planning, finishes, lighting, carpentry and furniture, drawn up and coordinated through the build.
Space planning
Finishes
Lighting
Carpentry
02
HDB & BTO interiors
Designed around HDB's rules rather than against them. Storage-led layouts for compact plans, with permitted works flagged early so nothing stalls at approval.
BTO handover
Resale reno
Storage planning
Permits flagged
03
Condominium & landed homes
Larger plans where circulation, sightlines and natural light do most of the work. Coordinated with MCST requirements and building management schedules.
Layout studies
MCST submissions
Joinery detail
04
Kitchens & bathrooms
The two rooms where poor detailing shows first. Wet-area falls, waterproofing sequence, appliance clearances and stone joints resolved on paper before anything is cut.
Wet works
Stone selection
Appliance fit
Ventilation
05
Carpentry & joinery design
Wardrobes, feature walls, TV consoles, study units and entryway storage — drawn to millimetre with hardware, edging and internal fittings specified.

Commercial fit-outs
Cafés, clinics, salons, studios and small offices. Designed around your operating flow, licensing requirements and the landlord's fit-out conditions.

Styling & furniture curation
For spaces that are structurally fine but flat. Furniture, lighting, textiles and objects sourced and placed, with a shopping list you can buy from yourself.

02 — Materials
We name the material. Not the mood.
Every specification we issue says exactly what goes where — finish, thickness, edge profile and supplier. This is the palette we return to most often, and where each one earns its place.
MB · 01
Honed marble
Soft grey veining, matt surface, warmer underfoot than polished stone.
Counters · vanity tops · feature walls
TB · 02
White oak
Straight-grain veneer or solid, in a natural or smoked finish.
Carpentry · flooring · slat screens
MT · 03
Brushed stainless
Fingerprint-tolerant, holds up in wet zones far better than lacquered brass.
Handles · trims · kitchen edges

Fine terrazzo
Small aggregate, low contrast. Hides wear in circulation areas.
Bathroom floors · thresholds · plinths
PL · 05
Limewash & plaster
Depth without gloss. Reads differently at every hour of the day.
Feature walls · bedroom · ceilings
Palette shown is indicative. Actual selections are made against physical samples in your own space and light — a stone that reads warm in the showroom often reads grey at home.
03 — Process
Five phases, in this order.
Design runs ahead of build, never alongside it. Every phase closes with something you approve in writing before the next one starts.
Phase 01
Consultation & brief
We meet at the space, measure up, and talk through how you actually live in it. You leave with an honest view of scope and budget.
Phase 02
Concept & layout
Two or three layout options with a material direction for each. This is the phase where changes are cheap, so we spend the time here.
Phase 03
Design development
The chosen direction resolved — elevations, carpentry, lighting layout, electrical points and a full material schedule.
Phase 04
Documentation
Drawings the contractor builds from, plus any submissions your HDB, MCST or landlord requires before works can start.
Phase 05
Site coordination
Scheduled site visits through the build, checking setting-out and finishes against the drawings, and a snag list at handover.
04 — Scope
What a design fee does and does not cover.
The most common misunderstanding in this trade. We are the design practice — we draw it, specify it and coordinate it. The building itself is contracted and invoiced separately.
