A Natural Love for Home
For Andrea Yong, the passion for designing did not start in a classroom. It began with a lifelong love for all things home and lifestyle. Growing up, she was surrounded by family members in related fields, and that early exposure shaped the way she looked at spaces.
Now, as a homeowner herself, Andrea realised how deeply the design of a space affects everyday life. “It’s not just about how a home looks. It’s about creating a place you look forward to coming back to, the one that fits seamlessly with your lifestyle,” she reflects.
That simple belief is what drew her into interior design and continues to guide her today.
Four Years of Growing with Her Clients
In the four years she has been in the industry, Andrea has met homeowners from all walks of life. Each project is a reminder that design is never one-size-fits-all.
Young, first-time homeowners often come in eager for trendy ideas and bold statements. Meanwhile, second-time or more seasoned homeowners tend to seek out timelessness, easy upkeep, and practical layouts. Andrea thrives on adapting to these different priorities.
“It’s about understanding where someone is in their life,” she explains. “Your home should reflect that phase. Whether you’re just starting out, raising a family, or simplifying your lifestyle.”
A Style Defined by Clean Lines
Andrea gravitates toward designs that are clean, simple, and uncluttered. Whether the brief is Scandinavian warmth, Japandi calm, or Modern Luxury elegance, she always seeks to keep the lines neat and the flow intentional.
Her projects are not about over-decorating or chasing every trend, but about making the essentials beautiful. She often turns to global design trends and Instagram for inspiration, but adapts them in a way that makes sense for Singapore homes.
While she is known for her minimalistic, timeless approach, Andrea shares that she hopes to experiment more with Mid-Century Modern in the future. With its rich wood tones and vibrant character, it offers a playful departure from the familiar beige-and-white palettes many homeowners request.
Expertise in Making Small Spaces Work Harder
Andrea enjoys a challenge, and loft projects are a recently conquered territory for her. These require technical skill and clever planning, exactly the kind of puzzle she likes to solve.
She recalls a memorable project: a compact one-bedroom condo with soaring ceilings. By designing a loft inspired by boutique hotel living, she managed to give the homeowners both style and function in a small footprint.
“It was satisfying to see how much we could achieve in a limited space,” Andrea smiles. “Every inch was maximised, but it still felt airy and comfortable.”
This blend of practicality and creativity is at the heart of her expertise.
Design Philosophy: Function First, Always
Andrea is clear about what drives her work:
“Functionality comes first, then we make it beautiful.”
She believes that a home that does not work for its owners is missing its purpose, no matter how stylish it is. Storage, flow, and layout are what form the foundation; colour schemes and finishing touches are layered in afterward to make the home feel truly personal.
Her clients often come with Pinterest boards full of inspiration, and Andrea does not dismiss them. Instead, she takes time to listen and interpret. “Sometimes people don’t even know exactly whatthey want,” she says. “It’s my job to ask the right questions, read between the lines, and create a design that really fits their life.”
Why Homeowners Love Working with Andrea
Her openness and patience mean homeowners never feel rushed into decisions.
Andrea’s strength lies not only in design but also in empathy. Clients value her as someone who listens deeply and translates their ideas, even the vague ones, then into homes that feel “just right.”

Andrea does not believe in creating showrooms; she believes in creating homes that evolve with the people who live in them. Clean lines, timeless functionality, and a touch of elegance define her work, but it is her ability to listen and adapt that makes her designs truly personal.
