About us

Founded in 2018, Uncommon is a boutique interior design firm in Singapore. We believe interior spaces have the quiet power to support emotion, create rhythm and bring clarity to everyday life. Some spaces impress at first glance, the ones we remember are those that continue to unfold over time.

(Our Philosophy)

Lasting design doesn’t need to be loud. We believe the spaces that stay with us are often those that reveal themselves slowly, through the details we live with every day.

We look beyond the expected, finding quiet potential in what is often overlooked. Through curiosity and a deliberate eye, we explore what might emerge when familiar things are seen differently.

  • We design homes, showrooms, and lifestyle spaces. Whether personal or commercial, each project is crafted to reflect form, function, and feeling — with an emphasis on clarity, intention, and lived experience.

  • We design spaces that feel as good as they look. Our focus is on thoughtful storytelling, refined functionality, and quiet detail — creating environments that are personal, purposeful, and lasting.

  • Yes. Our project management team handles the build from start to finish. We coordinate with contractors, manage the timeline, and make sure everything follows the design. You don’t have to oversee the day-to-day.

  • Every project begins with understanding your lifestyle and needs. We then move through concept development, layouts, material palettes, and detailed drawings. Timelines vary by scope, but we’ll guide you through each step. Starting early helps ensure alignment and smoother execution.

  • We charge a fixed design fee based on square footage. This covers layout planning, material and finish selection, technical drawings, and styling direction. We also offer a full design consultancy, which includes site coordination and regular check-ins during the build.

  • Yes, we can. Every project is different, so the best way to understand what’s possible is to speak with us directly. Reach out at contact@theuncommonstudio.com and we’ll walk you through what can work for your space and budget.
