🎙️ The SIXiDER Show Season 2 Teaser

The reality behind good homes.

A well-designed home is about more than what you can see. Behind every colour choice, material selection, and renovation decision are considerations that many homeowners only discover after moving in.

In this special highlight episode, Astley aka The Designerd brings together key moments from Episodes 13-15 of The SIXiDER Show.

Featuring honest conversations with designers, industry leaders, and renovation specialists, this episode explores:
• how colours influence mood, emotions, and the way we experience a space
• why industry standards and homeowner protection matter during renovation
• the realities behind outdoor living in Singapore
• the trade-offs between aesthetics, practicality, and maintenance
• and the decisions that shape a home long after renovation is completed

If you're planning a renovation, these are conversations worth hearing before you begin.

Five years ago, SIXiDES started with a simple question:

Why is renovating a home still so difficult for homeowners?

What began as an idea has since evolved into an ecosystem that helps homeowners research, compare, plan and navigate one of the biggest decisions they'll make for their homes.

Along the way, we've learnt that renovation isn't just about finding an interior designer. It's about information, trust, transparency and helping homeowners make better decisions with confidence.

This article reflects on the journey, the lessons learnt, and why we believe Singapore's renovation industry still needs better infrastructure for both homeowners and industry professionals.

Five years after launching SIXiDES, Astley Ng reflects on building a renovation ecosystem platform and why the industry needs a Renovation Operating System.

🕯️ Singapore's Unexplained Renovation Stories Wanted

Did something happen during your renovation that you still can't explain?
Maybe it was a strange sound.
Maybe it was an encounter nobody could account for.
Or maybe it was a series of events that felt too unusual to be mere coincidence.

👻 For our Ghost Festival Special of The SIXiDER Show Podcast Season 2, we're collecting real stories from homeowners, interior designers and contractors.

Selected stories will be discussed with a Taoist Priest, who'll share his perspective on whether these experiences are myth, misunderstanding, superstition, or something else entirely.

Outdoor living looks great on Pinterest. A cosy balcony. Timber decking. Outdoor dining. A resort-inspired corner to unwind after work. But how practical is it in Singapore's heat, rain and humidity?

In this episode, Astley aka The Designerd sits down with Marcus from Atrellis Home Decor & Zipblinds and Serene from XingFloors to explore the realities behind outdoor living in Singapore.

From natural wood versus WPC decking, to balcony design, outdoor blinds, maintenance concerns and homeowner expectations, this conversation uncovers what it really takes to create an outdoor space that is both beautiful and functional.

If you've ever wondered whether outdoor living truly works in Singapore, this is a conversation worth hearing.

Ever wondered why your renovation quote went up... even though nothing changed?

The answer might have nothing to do with your contractor, your designer, or even your home. From global oil prices and shipping costs to local housing policies and market demand, renovation prices are influenced by far more than most homeowners realise.

In this episode of Learn From The Nerd, we break down how global events can quietly affect renovation costs in Singapore, and why understanding these changes can help you plan ahead.

Why do some renovated homes feel calm and spacious, while others feel busy despite having the same amount of space?

The answer isn't always bigger budgets, expensive materials or more built-ins. Sometimes, it's about knowing what not to add.

In this featured 5-room HDB in Punggol, D&I Design demonstrates how thoughtful planning, softened transitions and a restrained material palette can completely change the way a home feels.

From unobstructed sightlines to subtle architectural details, every decision was made with one goal in mind, creating a home that feels effortless to live in.

Take a closer look at how careful planning can shape not just a home's appearance, but the experience of living in it.
