Reno Retreat is back on 12 and 13 September 2026, 10am to 7pm, at Pico Creative Centre, 20 Kallang Avenue. Entry is free but capped at 150 homeowners across the weekend, and you register on renoretreat.com before you turn up. This is the September run, not the August one we covered earlier.
Ten interior design firms take space across 14,000 square feet, so you walk between them instead of driving to ten showrooms over three weekends. The organiser lists Forefront Interior, Inizio Atelier, Le Interior Affairs, M+L Associates, 2nd Phase Design, Mr Designer Studio, Crescendo, Darwin Interior, DVA's Interior Design and Mablle.
The format is the same one we walked at the August 2026 edition. What has changed for September is the incentives: $1,200 worth of vouchers promised to everyone who attends, up to $60 in Grab ride vouchers rather than the $40 in August, and free gelato and a photobooth instead of the National Day tie-ins.
There is a VR zone where you walk your layout in 3D before you commit to it, which is the part worth queueing for if your unit is still a floor plan. Read the voucher terms at the booth before you count that $1,200 as cash, because renovation vouchers almost always come with a minimum contract value attached.
If you are the sort of person who walks into a showroom and walks out having spent more than planned, our piece on why IKEA makes you buy things is useful reading before you go.
Free entry is capped at 150 homeowners for the whole weekend, not 150 a day, and registration closes once the slots fill. You pick one of three windows when you sign up: 10am to 1pm, 1pm to 4pm, or 4pm to 7pm.
There is no deposit and no obligation to sign anything on the day. If you send your floor plan ahead, the organiser prints it out for you so the designers have something real to mark up instead of you scrolling a PDF on your phone.
Pico Creative Centre is at 20 Kallang Avenue, Singapore 339411. It is a short walk from Bendemeer MRT on the Downtown Line, and Lavender on the East West Line is the other option if you are coming from the east. Parking is on site but this is a Kallang light industrial block, so the lots go fast on a Saturday midday.
· Register before you go. Walk-ins are not part of the free 150 and the organiser closes signups when the slots fill.
· Send your floor plan in advance. They print it at the event so the designer can draw on it with you.
· Take the 10am slot on Saturday if you actually want to talk. The 4pm to 7pm window is the busiest.
· Ask what the $1,200 in vouchers is tied to before you take it. Renovation vouchers usually need a minimum contract value.
12 and 13 September 2026, 10am to 7pm both days, at Pico Creative Centre, 20 Kallang Avenue, Singapore 339411. This is the September edition; the previous run was 8 and 9 August 2026.
Yes, entry is free, but only for the first 150 homeowners who register on renoretreat.com. Registration closes when the slots are taken.
No. The organiser states there is no deposit and no obligation. You can talk to the firms, take the vouchers and leave.
Bendemeer on the Downtown Line is the closest. Lavender on the East West Line also works.
Yes, and you should. Send it over ahead of the event and they will print it so you can go through it with a designer on the day.
