Hey, I’m so glad you’ve stumbled upon Make Room!
I’m Barbara Fritschy and I founded this studio with the belief that everyone should have access to good design, through a process that’s easy, transparent and flexible.
We’ve been on this mission for over 10 fabulous years, delivering 100s of beautiful traditional and innovative spaces and it never gets boring - I am still excited to present a home or office proposal to a prospect client and can't wait to implement a design concept.
Today I have a small team of design experts to help me on this mission, who you can meet below. So whether you just want to transform a single room (for a set price) or have ambitious plans for you're whole home, look no further!
niamh
Who knew an evening yoga class could lead to creative directorship at one of Singapore's coolest interior design studios? We’ll save the full story for your next meeting with our creative director, Niamh! (it's pronounced 'Neev'!) You’ll likely cross paths with Niamh when working with Make Room, as she leads the team, ensuring all proposals meet our signature standards of bold, quirky, and personalised interiors—all while keeping us on track with deadlines, of course

farhana
Farhana is a true powerhouse in interior styling, effortlessly transforming spaces of any size. In classic Make Room style, she blends interior design and interior styling seamlessly—whether it’s as simple as ensuring all the power points are in the right locations, or creating a stunning bespoke piece of carpentry. With Farhana, you can trust that every detail will be thoughtfully guided toward a beautiful transformation that you'll be raving about to friends for months (ahem, years!) to come!

cherry
Think you're detail-oriented? Just wait until you meet Cherry! If you've ever gone through a renovation, you'll know every little decision can make or break the design. She not only anticipates every twist and turn but also translates your vision into clear, precise technical plans. And when it comes to stunning designs, colour schemes, and material selections, she’ll blow you away with her creativity and style!
🎨✨
milena
Milena embodies the spirit of passion that defines the MR team, and it shines through in every choice she makes during styling and design projects. You can trust that her impeccable style will guide you at every step. A true designer at heart, she thrives on thinking outside the box while ensuring that your vision is flawlessly realised. And rest assured, Milena never overlooks the importance of functionality and durability—she’s got that covered as well.

carole
It's never too late to switch careers, as Barbara can personally testify to! Carole decided to jump into the world of interior design after years of teaching kindergarten kids, and we couldn't be happier she did. Bringing her signature French romanticism to every project, you're in great hands when you have Carole's fresh outlook as a part of your design team

steve
Steve is our in-house jack of all trades—project manager, handyman, and the one balancing out the girls-to-boys ratio at Make Room HQ! His positive, can-do attitude is unmatched, and we love him for it. From coordinating with subcontractors to making frequent site visits, Steve ensures everything runs smoothly, keeping you at ease even if he's handling a few bumps behind the scenes. But don’t worry—you won’t even notice those!
👷♂️🔧
jobelle
Talk about a pocketful of sunshine! Jobelle brings happiness and positivity to everything she does, especially when managing the company’s finances, if you can believe it. Whether she’s tracking the tiniest changes in contractor invoices or following up on payments, Jobelle keeps everything running smoothly. The team would be completely lost without her!

espie
One of the standout services we offer at Make Room is complimentary procurement assistance, all thanks to Espie. She takes the designer’s proposal and turns it into an organised, easy-to-manage invoice—so you only have to make one payment while she handles everything else. From double-checking stock and confirming delivery and GST charges to scheduling deliveries, Espie takes care of all the details. We’re so lucky to have her!
