“Maybe This One Will Understand Us…”
When Amanda and Ray got their BTO keys, they thought choosing an interior designer would be the easiest part of their renovation. But after meeting four different IDs, they were more confused than ever.
“One loved marble, another was obsessed with open concepts. None of them listened to what we actually wanted,” said Amanda.
This is the story of how they finally found their fit—thanks to being matched right.
The First 3 IDs: All Style, No Sync
The first interior designer they met showed bold, dramatic designs with dark palettes—totally opposite of Amanda’s minimalist Japandi mood board. The second one barely looked at their floor plan. The third? Beautiful ideas, but gave them a quote that exceeded their budget by $25,000.
“We weren’t just shopping for pretty mood boards. We needed someone who listened,” said Ray.
The 4th Meeting Was Different
Through Match My Reno, they were introduced to a curated shortlist based on their budget, style, and timeline. One ID stood out—not because of flashy designs, but because she asked all the right questions:
-
“Do you cook often at home?”
-
“Do you need a workspace?”
-
“What materials are you not comfortable with?”
She even reviewed their Pinterest board in detail—highlighting what was realistic and what needed tweaking.
The Difference a Good Match Makes
What made this ID different wasn’t just her portfolio—it was how she:
-
Adjusted the layout to preserve budget
-
Suggested cost-saving alternatives (e.g., laminated wood instead of oak)
-
Factored in cleaning habits and child safety
-
Communicated clearly every step of the way
Amanda and Ray felt heard. And the final design? A dream Japandi haven—under budget.
