Cee Bee Design Studio

Ceebee design worked with me to design and execute the interiors of my parents flat. Overall the quality of the work had come out very well in the end. The people managing the project can be more customer focused and structured on their approach to improve the customer experience. The person the ground executing the work, Asraf has worked very well on the execution of the project. He was very responsive, diligent and ensured the work was completed.

If you’re looking for true customisation, Cee Bee Design Studio is hands down one of the best in town…They don’t do cookie-cutter designs…they listen, understand your lifestyle, and translate it into thoughtful details..from ideas to execution, everything felt personal, intentional, and well thought through…

We had a clear idea of how we wanted our home to look, and Cee Bee helped us get there. Vijay and his team coordinated the work well and kept us informed at each step. The contractors were experienced and gave us practical suggestions when needed. From choosing materials to pointing us towards the right stores for our décor, Cee Bee supported us throughout the process. Thanks to the whole team for their effort.

We hired Cee Bee Design Studio to completely renovate our 3 bedroom apartment with a coherent blend of wood and white with a subtle addition of pastel colors. And Cee Bee Design Studio created just the perfect home for us. The whole team - Vijay, Rippon, Sutrishna, Ankit, Abhijeet did a fabulous job, but Vijay was the superstar of our project. As any project there were a few hiccups along the way but nothing that couldn't be worked out with clear communication through Vijay. He was always available whenever we had any concerns. If we have any other interior design project in the future, Cee Bee would be our first choice to go with.

If you are looking for an interior design company with an artistic sense, then Ceebee is a great choice. They are a boutique firm with strong leadership (Sangeeta, Abhijeet), talented designers (Saachi, Sutrishna), capable project managers (Vijay ji, Asraf ji), and skilled artisans and workers (Yakub Bhai, Rajesh bhaiya, Arif Bhai) .10 months since I took possession of my house, I waited to write this review to ensure the work and materials stood the test of time. My house has turned out amazing and frequently receives compliments. Overall, my experience working with Ceebee was mixed; I'm sharing it honestly to benefit other customers.

The designers visited my house to understand my style, decors, and integrated into the design. We had extensive discussions over 3 months, which delayed the onset. After 3D they were very rigid, to allow even minor changes. The rates quoted were high, and I had to challenge the designers to come up with creative, cost-effective alternatives. Although they were somewhat frustrated, they remained professional and worked with me to meet midway. They assisted me in selecting samples, providing support in making the right choices. The execution team, including Vijay and Asraf, were aware of practical aspects and suggested the right dimensions for furniture, electrical points etc. They were approachable and accommodating to minor adjustments. Great build quality: We love our study table and dressing unit both of which have been built very sturdily with a chic design. The ethnic-themed living room was designed beautifully to accommodate all my brass decor. The designers created an appealing ethnic wall with Chettinad pillars, wooden rafters, and brick cladding to match my taste. During the ground-level execution, Vijay and Asraf provided excellent support in creatively resolving a size mismatch issue with the pillars. I was disappointed that the TV unit ledges were shortened without my input, and no alternate solutions were offered. The wooden ceiling with CNC cuts and the textured finish of the TV unit gives a premium look within budget. Differences in samples vs actual. The designers could have better expertise in visualizing the larger picture. The wood laminate color chosen based on a small sample turned very different in reality.The thick wooden moulding sample,in reality, turned out to be flat and thin. I had to push hard to add more layers of molding to achieve the desired output. The stickers selected for wardrobes didn’t turn out as expected due to the gap between design, translation to the third party, and print quality. But I truly appreciate the support from the management and Asraf in finding an artist to hand-paint the Kolam design and reduce the cost of the unsatisfactory stickers. Lighting challenges: We felt inadequately guided in selecting the optimal amount of lighting. Due to high prices quoted by ceebee, we decided to procure lighting ourselves, which was very challenging. There were disconnects between the designers' requirements, the procurement team's understanding, and the on-ground implementation needs. Nearly a year of living in the house, we hardly use the number of lights installed. The project faced multiple delays due to various factors such as procurement delays, inaccurate effort assessment etc. Frequent escalations was necessary although everyone was consistently responsive. Ultimately, the decision was made to move at 75% completion, and work continued while living there. Overall, I recommend CEEBEE, If you are flexible with your preferences, can take a hands-off approach, and are willing to extend your budget and timeline. They are knowledgable and build good quality. They may not provide consistent project updates like a corporate, but function like a startup
