Singapore, April 1st, 2025 — <a href="https://www.interiordiary.com.sg/">Interior Diary</a>, a leading interior design firm based in Lavender, Singapore, is proud to announce its commitment to using <b>formaldehyde-free wood</b> in all its custom carpentry projects. This bold move aligns with the firm's dedication to creating not just beautiful spaces but healthy, sustainable environments that enhance the well-being of homeowners.

CNA reported last year about the <a href="https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/formaldehyde-wood-products-adhesives-nea-studying-issue-4529006">dangers of formaldehyde in homes</a>, As part of its shift towards premium renovations with a focus on conscious living, Interior Diary’s transition to formaldehyde-free materials reflects its ongoing mission to prioritize safety, craftsmanship, and environmental responsibility.

Formaldehyde, a common chemical found in many wood products and adhesives, is classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO). It can contribute to poor air quality and posing serious health risks — especially in enclosed spaces like homes and offices.

Prolonged exposure to formaldehyde can lead to:

<b>Respiratory</b> Issues: Irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs, leading to chronic coughing or asthma flare-ups.Skin &amp; Eye 

<b>Irritation</b>: Redness, itchiness, and long-term skin sensitivities.

<b>Serious Long-Term Effects</b>: Increased risk of certain cancers with high or prolonged exposure, particularly for vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.

With built-in carpentry being a staple in Singaporean homes — from kitchen cabinets to wardrobes — many homeowners may unknowingly be <a href="https://www.todayonline.com/news/explainer-how-dangerous-formaldehyde-sour-smelling-chemical-furniture-homebuyers-2457216">exposing themselves to these harmful chemicals</a>.

“Many people are unaware that the very materials used to build their dream homes could be compromising their health. We believe it’s our responsibility as designers to change that,” says Steven Loh, Director of Interior Diary.

By exclusively using formaldehyde-free wood, Interior Diary ensures that every built-in element — from shelves to kitchen fittings — is free from harmful emissions. This decision significantly reduces indoor air pollutants, creating cleaner, safer living spaces for families.

The <b>benefits</b> of formaldehyde-free wood include:

<b>Improved Indoor Air Quality</b>: Reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for fresher, healthier air.

<b>Peace of Mind</b>: Eliminating hidden health risks for families, especially for children, seniors, and pets.

<b>Eco-Friendly Living</b>: Supporting sustainable forestry practices and reducing the environmental impact of chemical production.

“Our clients trust us to design homes where their families can thrive. Making the switch to formaldehyde-free wood wasn’t just a design choice — it was a promise to our clients that we’re invested in their long-term well-being,” Steven shared.

Interior Diary's commitment to formaldehyde-free materials doesn’t come at the cost of design. The firm carefully sources high-quality, toxin-free wood that offers the same versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal as traditional materials. 

Whether crafting sleek Japandi-inspired kitchen cabinets or rustic Wabi-Sabi bookshelves, Interior Diary ensures that style and safety go hand in hand.

The firm also educates clients on healthier material choices throughout the design process, empowering homeowners to make informed decisions that align with their values and lifestyle.

In an industry where cost-efficiency often trumps long-term well-being, Interior Diary hopes its transition to formaldehyde-free wood will inspire other firms to follow suit. 

The company is exploring additional sustainable practices — from using non-toxic finishes to promoting upcycled materials — as part of its vision for a healthier, more eco-conscious future in Singaporean interior design.

Through client education, public talks, and design showcases, Interior Diary aims to raise awareness about indoor air quality and the impact of material choices on health. 

By leading this conversation, the firm hopes to shape a future where homeowners no longer have to choose between style and safety.

Championing Health & Sustainability: Transitioning to Formaldehyde-Free Wood for Safer, Greener Homes

Singapore, March 19, 2025 — <a href="https://www.interiordiary.com.sg/">Interior Diary</a>, a leading interior design firm in Singapore, proudly announces its focus on Japandi design as part of its evolution towards premium renovations. By fusing the elegance of Japanese minimalism with the warmth of Scandinavian functionality, Interior Diary is redefining contemporary living spaces, offering homeowners a sanctuary of style, serenity, and purpose.

The Rise of Japandi: A Perfect Fusion of East and West

<a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/what-is-japandi-style">Japandi design</a>, a harmonious blend of Japanese Wabi-Sabi principles and Scandinavian hygge, has become increasingly popular for its ability to create calm, clutter-free spaces that are both aesthetically beautiful and highly livable. This hybrid style marries clean lines, natural textures, and muted color palettes, resulting in interiors that feel timeless, cozy, and effortlessly chic — perfect for Singapore’s modern homeowners seeking balance in their living environments.

“Japandi perfectly encapsulates what many homeowners are looking for today — a space that feels tranquil yet inviting, minimal yet full of character. It’s not just a design style; it’s a lifestyle,” says Gary Ng, Director of Interior Diary.

Singapore’s compact living spaces make Japandi an ideal design choice. The style’s emphasis on thoughtful curation, multifunctional furniture, and <a href="https://www.interiordiary.com.sg/gallery/288a-punggol-place-japandi/">maximizing natural light</a> aligns perfectly with the needs of HDB flats (like this <a href="https://www.interiordiary.com.sg/gallery/minimalist-japandi-hdb-renovation/">4 room HDB</a> in the North West of Singapore) and condominiums. Interior Diary expertly adapts these principles, crafting homes that feel spacious, breathable, and connected to nature — even in the heart of the city.

<b>Natural Materials</b>: Soft woods, stone, rattan, and linen to create an organic, grounded feel.

<b>Neutral Palettes:</b> Earthy tones like beige, taupe, and soft greys, accented by muted greens and blues.

Clean Lines &amp; Minimalist Layouts: Uncluttered spaces with sleek, functional furniture to promote flow and openness.

<b>Handcrafted Touches</b>: Artisan ceramics, paper lanterns, and simple decor that add personality without overwhelming the space.

“We love how Japandi allows us to create homes that are not only visually stunning but also deeply restorative. It’s about stripping away excess and focusing on what truly enhances your daily life,” shares Steven Loh, Co-Director of Interior Diary.

Premium Craftsmanship &amp; Thoughtful Design

Interior Diary’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail make it the perfect partner for homeowners seeking to bring Japandi into their living spaces. From selecting sustainable materials to working with skilled artisans, the firm ensures every project reflects the authenticity and artistry that define Japandi design.

The team takes a holistic approach, considering everything from lighting and spatial flow to texture and sensory balance. The result is a cohesive living environment that feels effortlessly polished yet invitingly personal — a place where every element serves a purpose and contributes to a greater sense of harmony.

Japandi’s focus on natural materials and longevity aligns with Interior Diary’s commitment to sustainable design practices. The firm carefully sources eco-conscious materials and advocates for quality, timeless pieces over mass-produced trends. This ensures that the spaces they create are not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible and built to last.

As Japandi continues to captivate design enthusiasts globally, Interior Diary aims to be a leading voice for this movement in Singapore. The firm plans to host open houses, collaborate with local artisans, and share educational content on social media to inspire more homeowners to embrace the beauty of simplicity and intentional living.

By championing Japandi in Singaporean homes, Interior Diary hopes to shift the conversation around interior design — encouraging people to see their homes not just as places to live, but as sanctuaries that nurture well-being, creativity, and meaningful connections.

Interior Diary Brings Japandi Elegance to Singapore Homes: A Fusion of Simplicity and Comfort

Singapore, March 13, 2025 — <a href="https://www.interiordiary.com.sg/">Interior Diary</a>, a leading interior design firm in Singapore, is proud to announce its renewed focus on Wabi-Sabi design principles, bringing the art of understated elegance, natural simplicity, and serene living to homes and commercial spaces. This shift aligns with the firm's recent rebranding towards premium renovations, as they seek to create spaces that embody tranquility and authenticity — qualities that resonate deeply with modern homeowners.

Rooted in ancient Japanese philosophy, <a href="https://japanobjects.com/features/wabi-sabi">Wabi-Sabi</a> celebrates the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and the natural cycle of life. It emphasizes organic materials, muted color palettes, and a harmonious balance of space and structure. By championing this design philosophy, Interior Diary invites homeowners to embrace authenticity in their living spaces, promoting a lifestyle that values mindfulness, connection, and the charm of simplicity.

“Our decision to spotlight Wabi-Sabi is a natural evolution of our design methods. We want to create spaces that not only look beautiful but also feel grounding and peaceful — where every element tells a story of craftsmanship and nature as well as the owners' tastes,” says Steven Loh, Director of Interior Diary.

A Design Approach for Modern Singapore Homes

Singapore’s fast-paced lifestyle often leaves homeowners craving calm and refuge within their personal spaces. Wabi-Sabi offers a powerful antidote to the pressures of perfection, inviting residents to embrace raw textures, aged materials, and curated minimalism. Interior Diary's expert designers help clients strike this balance, creating homes that exude warmth and quiet sophistication without sacrificing modern functionality.

By integrating materials like reclaimed wood, unpolished stone, linen, and clay, the firm carefully curates interiors that are both timeless and sustainable. Soft, earthy tones, asymmetrical layouts, and intentional negative space work together to craft an environment that encourages relaxation and reflection.

“We’ve noticed a growing appreciation for designs that feel more personal and grounded. Wabi-Sabi allows us to strip away unnecessary elements and focus on what truly matters — crafting spaces that cultivate a deep sense of comfort and belonging,” shares Steven.

Blending Tradition with Contemporary Design

While Wabi-Sabi is steeped in history, Interior Diary skillfully merges its core principles with contemporary design techniques. The result is a seamless blend of old and new — where antique furnishings sit comfortably alongside sleek modern fixtures, and handmade decor pieces add personality to minimalist layouts.

This approach allows the firm to cater to a diverse range of clients, from young professionals seeking calm amidst the urban buzz to families longing for a space that feels like a sanctuary. Whether designing compact HDB apartments or expansive landed homes, Interior Diary tailors each project to reflect the homeowner’s unique personality while staying true to the spirit of Wabi-Sabi.

Interior Diary’s commitment to thoughtful, client-focused design shines through in their project approach. From initial consultations to material selection and final execution, every step is handled with care and intention. The team collaborates closely with clients to understand their lifestyles and aspirations, translating these insights into spaces that feel deeply personal and emotionally resonant.

This meticulous attention to detail ensures that each element — from handcrafted pottery to weathered wood finishes — contributes to the overall narrative of the space. It’s an immersive, sensory design experience that leaves a lasting impact.

Pioneering a New Wave of Design in Singapore

With this strategic focus on Wabi-Sabi, Interior Diary positions itself as a pioneer of mindful, nature-inspired design in Singapore’s interior design landscape. The firm aims to not only transform individual homes but also spark a larger conversation about sustainable, meaningful living in an increasingly consumer-driven world.

Through workshops, design showcases, and collaborations with local artisans, Interior Diary plans to further educate and inspire the public about the beauty of imperfection. By bringing Wabi-Sabi into the mainstream, they hope to encourage more people to embrace the philosophy's core message: that true beauty lies in authenticity, simplicity, and the passage of time.

Wabi-Sabi by Interior Diary: Redefining Interior Design with Timeless Elegance and Imperfect Beauty

Singapore, March 6, 2025 — Interior Diary, a distinguished interior design firm in Singapore, is proud to announce its strategic rebranding initiative, reinforcing its commitment to delivering premium renovation services. This transformation reflects the company's dedication to excellence, innovation, and personalized design solutions that cater to the discerning tastes of homeowners and businesses alike.

Established in 2016, <a href="https://www.interiordiary.com.sg/">Interior Diary</a> has consistently positioned itself as more than just an interior design firm—it has become a trusted partner in helping clients achieve their dream spaces. With a <a href="https://www.interiordiary.com.sg/gallery/">portfolio</a> boasting over 2,000 completed home renovation projects, the firm has garnered a reputation for crafting personalized interior design solutions that resonate with the unique personalities and lifestyles of its clients.

The decision to rebrand stems from Interior Diary's aspiration to align its services with the evolving needs of Singapore's sophisticated clientele. By focusing on premium renovations, the firm aims to elevate living and working environments through designs that seamlessly blend functionality with artistry. 

" We decided to rebrand ourselves to focus more on higher end renovations in response to an demand for personalised thematic styles like Japandi, Scandinavian and Wabi Sabi after the Covid period, " said Director Gary Ng.

This renewed focus ensures that every project not only meets but exceeds client expectations, setting new benchmarks in the interior design industry.

Design Philosophy: Where Functionality Meets Artistry

At the heart of Interior Diary's success lies its dedication to creating spaces that are both visually stunning and highly practical. The firm's design philosophy is rooted in the belief that every space should tell a story—one that reflects the owner's personality, lifestyle, and needs. This philosophy is further brought to life by their deep expertise in Japandi and Wabi-Sabi design principles, two styles that have gained immense popularity in Singapore for their minimalist and harmonious aesthetics.

Interior Diary offers end-to-end interior design solutions, encompassing conceptualization, space planning, material sourcing, renovation, and project management. The firm's team of experienced designers and project managers work closely with clients to ensure a smooth, hassle-free process from start to finish. 

Mr Steven Loh, the one of the company's chief designers, said "The difference between interior designers and contractors is that we focus on balancing aesthetics, functionality and space planning to meet the home owner's needs, while contractors mainly do the execution of the renovation. Therefore, we make the renovation process smoother and worry free for the client."

Whether it's a cozy HDB apartment, a sophisticated condominium, or a dynamic commercial establishment, Interior Diary's designs reflect the personalities and lifestyles of their clients.

In line with global trends and environmental responsibility, Interior Diary integrates sustainable practices into its design and renovation processes. By sourcing eco-friendly materials and implementing energy-efficient solutions such as Air Conditioning and Lighting integrated into a Smart Home System, the firm ensures that its projects contribute positively to the environment while providing clients with healthier living spaces.
