Interior design in Sri Hartamas

Generous low-rise Sri Hartamas condos, rethought for their new owners.

For Sri Hartamas condos, townhouses and semi-Ds, one fixed fee per room, agreed before we begin and paid in stages. We gather and compare contractors’ quotes for you.

The short version
The fee

RM3,565 per standard room and RM5,485 for the open-plan living and dining, agreed in writing before we begin and paid in stages as the project progresses. It is never a percentage of your renovation.

A new condo

Two bedrooms and the open kitchen, living and dining come to RM12,615; three bedrooms, RM16,180. Bathrooms you keep as handed over aren’t counted.

The building work

Done by contractors you pick from quotes we gather and compare with you. We design, draw and manage the project; the building is theirs.

When to call

Once your purchase has a completion date. The management approves the works in writing before anything starts, and it will want to see the design.

What should you plan first in an older Sri Hartamas condo?

Find out what the building allows before you decide what to change. In a condo that’s been lived in for years, the management’s rules, the plumbing and the wiring shape the scope more than the finishes do.

Sri Hartamas condos are low and roomy. Menara Hartamas is ten storeys of 1,560 to 3,250 sq ft homes; Hartamas Regency 2, completed in 2007, runs from 1,315 to 3,380 sq ft. You buy the space and the address, and inherit someone else’s kitchen.

The door and the foyer. Many older plans open straight into the living room. A shoe cabinet with vented doors, a bench and a screen between the door and the sofa make an entrance where there wasn’t one.

The management’s rules. The JMB or MC approves your renovation in writing first, and can take a deposit and fix working hours and a finishing date. Ask for the house rules before you ask for quotes: they set the programme.

The lift. Every board and every bag of debris travels in it, in booked slots. Measure the car and the corridors before you order a long sofa or a one-piece stone top.

What’s behind the walls. Moving plumbing, an external window or the whole electrical system needs written approval from both the management and the authority. Either allow time for it, or design around the points you have.

The afternoon sun. On the west side, glass that doesn’t open turns sun into heat you can’t shade from outside. Line those windows, and choose which room takes the sun before the carpentry fixes the layout.

The closed kitchen and the yard. Older plans often keep the kitchen behind a wall, with a yard beyond. Whether that wall can go is a question for the drawings and the management, before you plan around it. The yard keeps the washer and the drying.

Storage. An older unit’s built-ins were drawn for another household. Full-height wardrobes in every bedroom usually give back more than they take.

If yours is a house. Sri Hartamas also has townhouses, semi-Ds and small bungalows. A full renovation of an older home is worth walking through on the call first, since the scope varies from house to house.

How much does it cost to renovate a home in Sri Hartamas?

For a new two-bedroom Sri Hartamas condo that keeps its developer floors and bathrooms, renovation and furniture come to about RM63k–101k at Essential finishes (Ikea, SSF Home, Harvey Norman), before the Sundays in Bed design fee.

Start from the home most like yours, then adjust the rooms. The design fee is exact. The three ranges are what renovation and furniture usually cost at each finish level, until your contractors put a price on it. The calculator runs on your device and sends nothing.

Our design fee, fixed

2 bedrooms: 2 rooms at RM3,565, plus the open-plan living and dining at RM5,485. The foyer and utility yard are designed free.

How much does an interior designer cost in Sri Hartamas?

For a new two-bedroom condo in Sri Hartamas, the Sundays in Bed interior design fee is RM12,615; for a three-bedroom, RM16,180, fixed in writing before we begin.

HomeInterior designInterior styling
New 2-bedroom condo 2 bedrooms, and an open kitchen with the living and dining; bathrooms keptRM12,615RM6,065
New 3-bedroom condo 3 bedrooms, and an open kitchen with the living and dining; bathrooms keptRM16,180RM7,780
Resale condo 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, the kitchen, living and diningRM26,875RM12,925
Large resale condo 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, the kitchen, living and diningRM34,005RM16,355
Older semi-D 4 bedrooms, 3 of its 4 bathrooms, the kitchen, living and diningRM34,005RM16,355

Rates as of September 2026. A dry kitchen and a wet kitchen count as two rooms.

We’ve assumed not every bathroom needs designing. Count only the ones you’d change.

Design or styling? Interior design is for a home where something gets built: a kitchen, wardrobes, new lighting. Interior styling is for rooms you keep as they are, and covers the furniture, art and finishing layer.

Rooms, not square feet. A 3,000 sq ft condo is priced by its rooms, exactly like a smaller one, so Sri Hartamas’s generous floor plans don’t raise the fee.

With interior design, the foyer and utility yard are designed free when your home has a bedroom and a living and dining space. A site visit is RM200, waived if you go ahead with us.

Why a fixed fee? An older home tends to reveal work as it goes: a tired pipe, a wall that turns out to matter. A fee set per room doesn’t follow the build upward when that happens.

And “free design”? It is usually priced into the contractor’s quote. A separate fee means your drawings belong to the project, and more than one contractor can quote on them.

What happens between the first call and moving in?

We design, draw and manage the project; contractors build it. You choose them from quotes we gather and compare, and your rooms and fee are agreed in writing before work begins.

  1. The discovery call Free
    Your home, how you live in it, your budget and when you need to move in.
  2. The site visit RM200, waived if you go ahead with us
    We measure and photograph every room, and note the lift, the plumbing points and the fuse board.
  3. The design
    Layout, lighting, built-ins and materials, room by room, with one designer from the first call to handover.
  4. The drawings
    What your contractor builds from, and what the management reviews before it approves the works.
  5. The quotes
    We gather and compare contractors’ quotes and show you where your budget works hardest. You choose.
  6. Before work starts
    For a resale home, ask for the approved plans and the house rules. For a new one, report defects to the developer in writing first: the defect liability period runs 24 months from vacant possession.
  7. The approvals
    The JMB or MC approves the works in writing, often against a deposit. Where DBKL’s approval is needed too, your licensed contractor obtains it; we help gather the documents.
  8. On site, then moving in
    We coordinate the works and deliveries and check what’s built against the drawings. Condo renovations published by other firms in KL and PJ ran a median 12 weeks on site.

Who approves the work. Sri Hartamas is in Kuala Lumpur, under City Hall (DBKL). In a condo, the building approves first: under by-law 27 the JMB or MC must agree in writing, and can set a deposit, hours and a date to finish. Moving plumbing, windows or the whole wiring needs the authority’s approval as well.

For a house, DBKL publishes renovation guidelines for existing semi-detached houses and terraces. Since September 2022, minor work that doesn’t touch the structure, such as a small partition, can be applied for directly, without an architect or engineer. Anything structural needs plans from one.

05

Do you cover my part of Sri Hartamas?

Yes. Sundays in Bed designs homes in person across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, and all of Sri Hartamas is inside that area. A site visit anywhere in it is RM200, waived if you go ahead with us.

New developments we’re following

Sri Hartamas was built from the 1980s on, and we found no new homes due to complete inside it before 2028. Newer towers nearby are covered on our Mont Kiara and TTDI pages.

Inside Sri Hartamas, Exsim has announced a freehold mixed development on Jalan Sri Hartamas 22, with no completion date yet.

Nine undeveloped parcels off Jalan Sri Hartamas 1, about 1.95 million sq ft, are being split between their two owners, with no homes announced on them. The MRT Circle Line plans an underground Sri Hartamas station, with construction expected from 2027.

Neighbourhoods we cover

Desa Sri Hartamas · Plaza Damas · Hartamas Heights · Jalan Sri Hartamas 1 to 22

FAQ

Sri Hartamas questions, answered

Do you design both the landed homes and the condos in Sri Hartamas?

Yes, at the same fee per room. An older terrace or semi-D often needs its plan reworked rather than a cosmetic refresh, which is worth walking through on the call first. A low-rise condo usually needs a layout that fits today’s furniture.

Who approves renovation work in Sri Hartamas?

For a house, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL). For a condo, the building’s management must approve the works in writing first, and moving plumbing, windows or the whole wiring needs the authority’s approval too. We plan the design around both.

Can you open up the kitchen in an older condo?

Often, but it’s checked before it’s promised. Whether the wall can go is settled on the drawings, and if plumbing moves, the management and the authority both have to approve it in writing.

Can I keep and reuse furniture I already own?

Yes. Interior styling is built around what you have, adding pieces around your existing furniture rather than replacing it. On a full interior design project, tell us which pieces stay and the design is planned around them.

Do you do the building work yourselves?

No. We design, draw and manage the project. The works are carried out by contractors, chosen from quotes we gather and compare with you, so the renovation cost is a separate number from our design fee.

Have you designed condos before?

Yes. Both homes in our portfolio are condos at Regent Suites in Damansara Heights, a two-bedroom and a three-bedroom. Our condo guide covers the rest of the condo brief.
