Frequently asked questions
Before you begin
What to know before you enquire.
Straightforward answers on service areas, pricing, timelines and how the process works — the questions we hear before every project. Anything specific to your own unit belongs in a free discovery call, wherever your home is.
Before you enquire
Which areas does Sundays in Bed serve?
Sundays in Bed Interior Design currently serves Klang Valley, which covers Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Expansion beyond Klang Valley is in development but not yet live, so projects outside this area cannot be taken on at this time. For homes outside this area, Virtual Design works from anywhere, starting with a free discovery call.
When should I hire an interior designer for a new condo or house?
We recommend engaging Sundays in Bed around 5 to 6 months before your planned move-in date. If you're already past handover, the next best time is right after you collect your keys, so design and furnishing can start as early as possible. Starting early gives design, procurement, and installation enough time to be ready by the time you actually want to move in.
Do you only work on new condos and houses, or also renovations of older homes?
Sundays in Bed specialises in new condos and new landed houses in Malaysia, units that are freshly handed over or at the vacant-possession stage, rather than renovating older, previously lived-in homes. This shapes how designs are planned around a blank, unlived-in space, and how timelines are built around a handover date. If your project involves a full renovation of an existing older home, it's worth raising during a discovery call to see whether it's a fit.
Can you design just one room instead of my whole home?
Yes. Because pricing is charged by type of room rather than as a fixed whole-home package, Sundays in Bed can take on a single room, such as a kitchen or living room, as well as an entire unit. That also means you could choose to furnish the main living areas first and add other rooms in a later phase, if you'd rather spread the project out.
Who designs my home?
Projects are led by Sundays in Bed's founder, Angelica, who has spent the better part of a decade designing spaces across both London and Kuala Lumpur. In 2022, she was named to RMI's (Restaurant Marketer & Innovator) "30 Under 30" Future Leaders Programme, which recognises rising talent in hospitality marketing, innovation, and strategy across Europe, a hospitality marketing credential rather than an interior design award. Depending on your service tier, you're also introduced to an assigned interior designer who personalises the design with you directly.
Is Sundays in Bed a registered company?
Yes. Sundays in Bed operates as Sundays in Bed Sdn Bhd, a registered Malaysian company with registration number 1504437-U, based in Kuala Lumpur. "Sundays in Bed" is the trading name used across the website and all client-facing communication.
How can I get in touch, and how quickly will I hear back?
You can reach Sundays in Bed by email at hello@mysundaysinbed.com. The studio replies within 48 hours, wherever your home is. Wherever you are, the usual next step is a free discovery call, which you can book online.
Services & design
Will my home be designed from a template, or is it customised to my unit?
Sundays in Bed does not use template-based designs or pre-set showroom packages. Each project is planned around your specific unit's layout, your own taste, and, where relevant, furniture you already own, with a dedicated interior designer working through the details with you rather than assigning a fixed "look." The aim is a home that reflects the people living in it, not a repeated formula.
What's the difference between Interior Styling, Virtual design, and Interior design?
Interior Styling is the lightest-touch option, using furniture and decor you already own and layering in new accessories and styling. Virtual design is a remote, fixed-price service where a designer builds your full design scheme and shopping list, which you buy yourself, with ordering help for homes in London and Singapore. Interior design is the full-service tier, covering consultation, furniture procurement, installation, and project management, suited to larger-scale projects. All three are charged at a flat fixed rate by type of room.
Can I keep and reuse furniture I already own?
Yes. The Interior Styling tier is built specifically around working with what you already have, adding new decorative and accessory pieces around your existing furniture rather than replacing it outright. Even with a full Interior design project, you can flag which pieces you want to keep during your project brief, and the design is planned to incorporate them.
What does the procurement concierge service include?
A dedicated personal shopper sources your designer's curated shopping list items across multiple retailers on your behalf, and manages ordering and delivery during the renovation period. It's an add-on for clients who would rather not spend time purchasing and coordinating each piece themselves. You're also free to implement the shopping list yourself instead, without using this service.
What happens after the discovery call?
After the free discovery call, you'll receive a scope of works which includes a project brief, stage of works and key information. Once you're happy to start, the project kicks off and you're one step closer to your dream home.
Do I need to be in Malaysia throughout the project?
Not for Virtual Design. It's fully remote, starting with a free discovery call: your designer works with you over video, and you buy the pieces yourself. Interior design involves on-site consultation, procurement, and installation, so it works best if you, or someone you authorise, can be present in Klang Valley for key stages such as the initial site visit and final key handover.
Fees & pricing
How is pricing structured?
Sundays in Bed charges a flat fixed rate for its design by type of room, rather than by square footage or as a percentage of your overall budget — one fee, agreed before work begins, that doesn't move with your renovation budget.
How do you charge for open-plan spaces?
An open-plan space — living and dining, with or without the kitchen, flowing as one room — is priced as its own room type rather than as several separate rooms: RM2,635 per open-plan space for interior styling, RM5,485 for interior design and USD 349 (RM1,430) for virtual design.
How does Virtual Design start?
With a free discovery call, just like our in-person projects. We talk through your room and what's included, with no obligation. If you go ahead, you pay the full fee up front: USD 279 (RM1,143) per room, or USD 349 (RM1,430) for an open-plan space.
How much should I budget for furnishing a new condo or house?
Cost depends on factors such as how many rooms you're furnishing, the size of the unit, which service tier you choose (from lighter-touch styling to full in-person design), and the type and quality of furniture selected. Because Sundays in Bed prices by a flat fixed rate per room type rather than a percentage of your budget, the total is tied directly to the scope you choose rather than an open-ended estimate. The most accurate way to get a number specific to your own unit is a free discovery call.
Do you charge for a site visit?
A site visit within the Klang Valley is RM200, waived if you go ahead with us. It's arranged after your free discovery call, if you'd like Sundays in Bed to see your home before you decide.
The practical details
Do I need to be present for a site visit, or can I just send measurements?
Accurate measurements matter a great deal, since furniture has to fit real walls, doorways, columns, and lift access rather than an approximate room size. A site visit is the most reliable way to get this right, and is available within Klang Valley for RM200, waived if you go ahead with us. If a visit isn't possible, precise measurements supplied directly by you are the minimum needed before a design can be finalised.
Do you work around fixed points like electrical sockets, lighting, and air-conditioning?
Yes. New condos and houses typically come with electrical points, lighting positions, and air-conditioning units already fixed by the developer, and furniture layouts need to work around them rather than the other way around. This is one of the reasons accurate measurements (or a site visit) matter early on, since a sofa, bed, or wardrobe placed without accounting for an existing power point or AC unit can create an awkward layout after installation. Your designer factors these fixed elements into the plan from the start.
Should I finish my defect inspection before starting interior design work?
It's generally worth resolving structural and finishing defects with your developer before major furniture installation begins, since remedial work such as repainting or flooring fixes is far easier in an empty unit than around new furniture. Most new Malaysian properties come with a defect liability period set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, giving you a window after handover to report issues to the developer. Raising your defect inspection timeline with your designer early on helps installation get scheduled around it, rather than in conflict with it.
Do I need management corporation approval for the renovation?
Most Malaysian condos are run by a Management Corporation or Joint Management Body with its own house rules, which commonly cover approved delivery hours, lift or service-lift bookings, and sometimes a moving-in permit or deposit, even for furniture-only deliveries. For Interior Design service, we help gather the documents your contractor needs — the renovation permit itself is obtained by your licensed contractor, and JMB/MC approval remains your responsibility as the resident.
