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 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.
