F&B Interior Design & Renovation in Singapore

Restaurant interior design is the creative art through which you design a functional yet psychologically and aesthetically pleasing dining space. This improves customers experience and increase brand’s visibility.

Because F&B environments don’t forgive vague thinking.

Generic interior solutions tend to miss operational stress points. Workflow gets compromised. Hygiene flow becomes awkward. What looks convincing on paper starts to feel uncomfortable once the business opens.

ID Box has focused on F&B design and build since 2002. That history matters. Not because it guarantees perfection — it doesn’t — but because experience sharpens judgement. Some mistakes only become obvious after you’ve seen them repeated across different sites.

There is not much flexibility here.

URA submissions, SFA hygiene approvals, SCDF fire safety requirements — each operates on its own logic. None of them care how strong the concept is.

ID Box handles compliance as part of the design process, not as an afterthought. When approvals are treated casually at the start, they usually reappear later as delays, redesigns, or cost overruns. That pattern rarely changes.

Good design reduces hesitation.

Clear zoning between kitchen, service, and dining areas allows staff to move without thinking too much. Circulation paths that make sense prevent collisions, especially during peak hours. When layouts work, productivity improves quietly.

ID Box plans layouts with operations in mind first. The aim is not novelty. It’s clarity. Spaces should feel obvious once they’re in use.

Yes.

ID Box works as a full design-and-build provider, managing design, procurement, and construction under one structure. This reduces fragmentation and keeps responsibility clear.

When too many parties share ownership, accountability tends to soften. A single line of responsibility may feel demanding, but it usually produces cleaner outcomes.

Brand translation is not about being loud.

Concepts are interpreted through proportion, materials, lighting, and restraint. Elements like custom murals or thematic lighting are used only when they support the idea — not because they look impressive in isolation.

ID Box focuses on coherence. When a space tries too hard to explain itself, something is usually off.

Because restaurants are operational systems, not static environments.

Compliance, efficiency, atmosphere, and revenue affect each other. Treating them as separate concerns tends to create tension later.

ID Box’s design-and-build approach allows these elements to be addressed together.

Most projects fall between 8 and 12 weeks.

Planning, approvals, construction, and finishing all take time. Custom elements may extend the schedule. Design changes usually do.

Delays may happen. What matters is whether timelines are managed honestly, or softened with optimism that doesn’t hold up on site.

In Singapore, F&B interior design and renovation typically range from S$600 to S$1,200 per square metre, or roughly S$100 per square foot for front-of-house areas.

Cost on its own does not say much. Value shows up in how well the space operates six months in. ID Box focuses on spending where it improves function and brand clarity, and pulling back where it does not.
