What I love about being a manager is meeting people from all walks of life and sharing my experiences with colleagues and suppliers. I take pride in my signature style of modern and contemporary designs. Outside of work, you will see me playing basketball and designing furniture and lighting. Besides being an interior designer, I will not mind coaching or training new individuals in the design and renovation industry. I believe in “With God, all things are possible”, and I would like to advise newcomers to try everything and experienced individuals to be comfortable being uncomfortable.

We had a great experience working with ID Darien Yu on the reno of our home this year. He provided prompt and constructive advice, ensured that the works were well within schedule and kept us constantly updated. We will certainly recommend him to others!

We were looking to renovate our home and was recommended to Darien by our son, who also had his new home renovation done by Darien. Darien is very helpful and patient, recommending good design with his professionalism. He even went the extra mile to purchase for us the door knobs according to my desired colour tone. He and his team work tirelessly to keep to the timeline provided. Well done, Darien and glad that Starry Homestead has a great asset – a dedicated and passionate ID in your team 😊

We engaged Darien to renovate our condominium recently. Throughout the whole renovation process, Darien was very professional and gave us many innovative ideas. He was also very prompt and patient in responding to our queries. Would strongly recommend him!

I recently renovated my home with Darien Yu from Starry Homestead, and it was a fantastic experience. He listened attentively to my ideas and offered valuable insights, blending aesthetics with functionality beautifully. Darien was professional, responsive, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything was executed perfectly. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a passionate and dedicated interior designer—he deserves 5 stars!
“Nigel Teong
Choosing Darien as our interior designer after consulting four firms proved to be the right decision. His extensive knowledge about our flat type and adherence to HDB regulations set him apart. Throughout the design and renovation process, Darien was accommodating, patient, and responsive. The project was completed on time, nearly on budget, with high-quality work, and we highly recommend him to others. Thanks for a wonderful job done, Darien.
“Fiona Thia
Darien did well, kept to the agreed schedule. Quality of work is great. Service was great, beyond our expectations. Will definitely recommend him to my friends for their house renovation.
“Jean Yeo
Darien is a patient, understanding, and highly skilled interior designer with a great sense of design. He provided us with a quick mockup of our room, showcasing various furniture choices. Throughout the renovation process, Darien was responsible, responsive, and kept us updated regularly, even out of office hours. He demonstrated sincerity and honesty, ensuring everything was perfect even after the handover. We wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of an interior designer. Thanks, Darien, for your exceptional effort and hard work! We truly appreciate it.
“Judy Lim
We engaged Darien from Starry Home for our resale 4-room renovation. We are happy with his service. He respond promptly to our enquiries when we had a discussion over the renovation and design ideas. He has been very service oriented. He make time to understand our needs and the issues with the existing layout and then provided suggestions for our consideration. Design is practical with many options to choose from and suits us. Always patient and accommodating to our queries and requests. Competitive pricing compared to the market. You pay what you get for better quality products.
“Theresa Teo
Darien Yu, the manager in charged of our home renovation was attentive to our requirements, patient in going through his design with us, go the extra mile to help in the final soft-finishing decorations and post-renovation matters. One of the reasons we choose Starry Homestead is that they are registered with various trust programmes which gives us peace of mind as we know that they will perform professionally and according to schedule – and they did!
“Jenny Ng
We finally got a BTO. This gave us a chance to design everything from scratch. Really appreciate the good advice that Darien gave. Our project was in 2020 just as circuit-breaker ended. Though it was delayed because of the shortage of manpower due to the lockdown, I’m thankful they were able to keep the price and still deliver a quality project. Because in the following months after that, things got worse across Singapore with shortage of material, manpower, HDB flat delivery, etc. Thank you Starry Home for fulfilling our dream. We love it!
“Andrew Tek
Had a very good experience with Darien. He is extremely creative and resourceful and that gave us a lot of confidence. We were also in a rush but Darien managed to give us what we wanted and managed to complete the renovation on time. Strong follow-up even after work is completed. Wanted to have a bigger master room so he designed a beautiful and practical way for us. Best customer service! Even 1 year after the handover, he is still active in our group chat and tackled our questions. The price can be a little steep. But for the work, I think it’s money well spent. More discounts will be wonderful.
“Steven Soh
We were happy with Darien’s services. He ensured a smooth renovation process, promptly responding to our queries, providing a detailed Gantt chart for the schedule, and assuring us that their workers were in Singapore to prevent delays. The renovation was completed on time. Darien advised us on details we might have missed, including maintenance requirements for materials. When we changed our minds on the cabinet design, he looked at the positive points and was not pushy, seeking better deals to manage costs. We highly recommend Darien.
“Skawaai
Darien is the most responsible ID I had met so far. From little to big details, he takes care of it. Responsive and understanding, trying his best to match your needs. The design of the home suits your needs and is able to offer more cost-saving solutions. Timeliness is most important and he did it!!! After renovation, when there is any part that requires touch-up, he will be back to do up for you. He is responsible and never mia. I guess, this is the ID everyone will be looking for.
“Esther Chua
Darien is the designer for my new place. He is responsible and helpful, going beyond his means to assist me in making decisions on my interior design ideas. Although he is busy, he listens to my requirements and processes to revert to me with good advice. He is trustworthy, and I believe he is one of the big stars in Starry Homestead. I look forward to seeing my refurbishment completed well in July 2023. I recommend him to all potential customers who need honest and professional interior design services.
“R H
We received a few quotes and decided to engage Darien as we liked his design proposal and the quotation met our requirements. Darien communicated with us clearly, responded promptly, was friendly, and helpful, followed up with us, and even provided post-sales service. We had a pleasant experience and Starry Homestead delivered what they promised on time. We are happy with the kitchen and wardrobes and happy to recommend them.
“Georgene Ang
Thanks to Darien and his team of contractors, especially the carpentry guys who came back and did us a few favors, Appreciate it!
“Andrew T
Great renovation experience provided by Darien Yu. Strongly recommend him if you are looking for a great professional service.
“David Koh
We chose Darien Yu of Starry Homestead out of the 3 quotations we asked, for their professional quotation and have no regrets. Eventually, we decided to renovate almost the whole apartment within a tight timeline during the COVID period (end 2020) when workers were scarce. Darien coordinated the renovation work seamlessly, listening patiently to our increasing requirements and saying ‘I’ll do my best,’ which he did. Darien’s after-sales service is praiseworthy; he responds promptly and goes out of his way to assist when we call him for help. Based on my experience, I recommend Darien to anyone who needs an ID.
“Irene Thia
Darien is really a reliable ID who makes our new home renovation simple and easy.
“Eric Xu

“Joyce Yeo
Engaged Darien from Starry Homestead for my parent’s house interior design package that suited their needs and budget. The carpentry workmanship, service, project schedule, and follow-up were excellent. He was highly responsive even for post-sales service.
