You have just collected the keys to a resale flat, and the empty living room suddenly feels bigger on paper than in real life. That is usually when a beautiful interior design moodboard needs to meet real furniture sizes, family routines, and delivery access.
Quick answer: Voilà Design is a Singapore interior design studio led by Jason Ng, known in this feature for expressive, well-planned homes that balance detail, comfort, and everyday use. If you like the Voila interior design look, start with space planning first, then choose one clear style direction before buying furniture.

Who is Voilà Design?
Voilà Design is a Singapore interior design studio associated with Jason Ng, its director and founder. In the original Mega Furniture feature, Jason described the early years of running the studio as a hands-on season where design work sat beside everyday business tasks, from marketing and accounts to office equipment and stationery.
That detail matters because it makes the studio story feel less polished in the best way. Interior design is not just about a pretty render. It is also about follow-through, planning, coordination, and knowing which decisions will still make sense after the handover photos are taken.
Jason’s design philosophy in the feature is simple: every home should feel magical to the client. The word “magical” can sound dreamy, but the stronger reading is more practical. A home feels special when it supports the people living in it, from daily meals to quiet evenings, hosting, cleaning, storage, pets, children, and work-from-home days.
What makes the Voila design approach useful for Singapore homes?
The strongest lesson from the Voilà Design story is this: a home only feels special when the floor plan works on a normal Tuesday.
That is a useful opinion for Singapore homeowners because many homes here are compact, especially BTO flats and newer condos. A beautiful sofa that blocks a walkway will become annoying quickly. A dining set that looks grand in a showroom may feel heavy once it sits beside the kitchen entrance. Good design has to respect the room before it asks the room to respect the design.
1. Start with space planning, not shopping
Before choosing furniture, measure the room, doorway, corridor, and lift access. A comfortable walkway is usually around 70-90 cm. Dining chairs often need around 90-100 cm behind them so people can sit and move without squeezing. A coffee table usually works best around 30-45 cm from the sofa.
These measurements are not glamorous, but they decide whether your home feels calm or crowded.
2. Pick one clear mood
The featured Voilà Design homes lean into strong interior moods, from Modern Victorian curves to a quieter Wabi-sabi look. The useful part is not copying the exact wall treatment or furniture. It is choosing one clear direction and letting the room follow it.
If you prefer clean lines, soft neutrals, and modern silhouettes, Mega Furniture’s modern contemporary furniture collection is a natural place to start. If you prefer simpler forms and calmer rooms, the minimalist furniture collection may suit the mood better.
3. Let comfort have a say
A studio-designed home can still feel stiff if the main furniture is uncomfortable. The sofa matters because it is usually the anchor of the living room. A 2-seat sofa is typically around 140-170 cm wide, while a 3-seat sofa is usually around 190-230 cm wide. In smaller flats, the difference between these two choices can decide whether you still have enough room for a side table, walkway, or play area.
For homes inspired by the Voila interior design style, browse sofas for Singapore living rooms by size first, then by colour and material.
A closer look at the featured homes

The Modern Victorian home shown in the original feature works because it does not rely on one loud object. The curves, wall details, and softer palette create a gentle sense of drama. This is a good reminder for homeowners who want a more expressive home: choose two or three strong architectural or furniture moments, then give the rest of the room breathing space.

The Wabi-sabi home makes a different point. Less can feel warm when the textures are right. Matte finishes, soft fabric, wood tones, and gentle curves can keep a simple room from feeling bare. The honest trade-off is that minimalist interiors are less forgiving of clutter. If your household has many small items, plan storage first or the look will be hard to maintain.
How do you get the Voila interior design look at home?
You do not need to copy a full renovation to borrow the best parts of the Voila design approach. Start with the way the room should behave, then choose pieces that support that behaviour.
| Design decision | Why it matters | Furniture move |
|---|---|---|
| Layout first | Prevents tight walkways and awkward corners | Measure sofa, dining, bed, and storage zones before buying |
| One main style | Keeps the home from feeling visually noisy | Choose a clear theme such as modern contemporary, minimalist, Japandi, or Scandinavian |
| Right-sized anchors | Large pieces shape the room more than accessories do | Pick the sofa, bed, and dining table before smaller decor |
| Daily-use materials | Singapore humidity, pets, children, and cleaning routines affect longevity | Choose fabric, leather, wood, sintered stone, or marble based on care needs |
The dining area deserves special attention because many Singapore homes use it for more than meals. It becomes a homework station, laptop corner, parcel-sorting zone, and gathering point during family visits. A 4-seat dining table is often around 120x75 cm, while a 6-seat table is usually around 150-180x90 cm. If your dining zone is narrow, compare sizes from dining tables for Singapore homes before committing to the bigger option.
What to check before committing to a designed home
Interior design plans can look convincing in renders, but real life adds furniture depth, appliance doors, curtain tracks, children’s toys, laundry racks, and the occasional chair that never returns to its proper place.
- Check circulation: Leave enough space around the sofa, dining area, bed, and wardrobe doors.
- Check delivery access: Measure the lift opening, corridor, main door, and room doorway before ordering large furniture.
- Check maintenance: Marble needs sealing, faux leather wipes clean but may peel over time, and solid wood can move with humidity.
- Check lifestyle fit: A pale, highly styled room may need more upkeep if you have pets, young children, or frequent guests.
- Check after handover support: For furniture bought through Mega Furniture, local delivery, professional assembly on qualifying orders, showroom support, and after-sales assistance help if something needs attention after it arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Voila interior design known for?
Based on this Mega Furniture feature, Voilà Design is known for expressive residential interiors that combine clear space planning, strong mood, and personal details. The featured homes include a Modern Victorian project and a minimalist Wabi-sabi inspired home.
Is Voilà Design suitable for HDB or condo homes?
The ideas in this feature can apply to HDB, BTO, resale, and condo homes, especially if the design begins with space planning. For compact homes, the key is to choose furniture and built-ins that preserve walkways and storage.
How can I create a Voila Design inspired home without a full renovation?
Start with one clear style direction, then update the main furniture pieces that shape the room. A right-sized sofa, dining table, bed, and storage piece can change the feel of a home without rebuilding every surface.
What should I measure before buying furniture for an interior design plan?
Measure the room, lift opening, corridor, main door, and internal room doors. Also check walkway clearance, space behind dining chairs, and the distance between the sofa and coffee table.
Should I choose furniture before or after confirming my interior design style?
Confirm the style direction first, then choose furniture. This keeps the home consistent and helps you avoid buying pieces that look good alone but feel wrong once placed together.
