Interior designer at 1 Bukit Utama
Room by room, 1 Bukit Utama begins to feel like home.
Generous rooms, a lanai-style balcony and green on every side. We’ll arrange them around how your household lives, keeping what works and adding the furniture, lighting and art still missing. No renovation needed to begin.
An armchair by the window, a lamp, a picture hung at eye height. Small, loose decisions that make a large home feel lived in.

Making 1 Bukit Utama feel like home: floor plans and styling
Styling a 1 Bukit Utama home starts with the large rooms as they are, then adds the furniture, lighting, rugs and art that make them yours, with no works.
The floor plans below show where the space is.
Large rooms are a gift and a puzzle. In a home of nearly 2,000 sq ft, a sofa that looked generous in the shop can float in the middle of the living room, and a dining table for six can leave the far end of the room unclaimed. Our interior styling begins by working out what each part of the room is for.
1 Bukit Utama was the first phase of Bukit Utama in Bandar Utama; 9 Bukit Utama followed it. Every home listed has a balcony and a yard.
- About 1,916–2,034 sq ftThree bedrooms, three bathrooms
- About 1,981 sq ftThree bedrooms plus one, three bathrooms
- 3,950 sq ftDuplex penthouse: four bedrooms plus one, five bathrooms
Sizes and bedroom counts from MyRumahBaru’s list of layouts; your own plan may differ, so we measure.
Large rooms, lanai balconies and the +1 room
In a living room this size, two seating groups often work better than one: a sofa and chairs facing each other for conversation, and a quieter corner with a reading chair and a lamp. A rug under each group keeps them from drifting.
MyRumahBaru describes the balconies as lanai-style, and the setting is green on every side. Outdoor chairs, a low table and a couple of large pots can turn the balcony into the room you use most in the early morning.
The +1 room is the one to decide first. Listings don’t say what it was drawn as, so on the visit we look at its size and window before suggesting a study, a guest room or a store.
Styling a rented 1 Bukit Utama home
If you rent at 1 Bukit Utama, the furniture, rugs, lamps, curtains and art can all be your choice.
Drilling, built-in joinery and anything that hacks a wall go to the owner first, in writing, and the building’s management second.
When a big home came furnished thinly
A rented 1 Bukit Utama home often has enough furniture for a smaller flat spread across a much larger one. We record what is there and decide with you what stays; usually the cure is more, not different: a second seating group, a rug big enough for the room, and three or four more lamps.
Where a tenancy draws the line
Anything you can carry in and out is yours to arrange. Fixings that leave a mark generally need the owner’s nod; cabinetry, wiring, plumbing and hacking need it on paper, with management’s approval after.
A long wall can still be filled without a single hole: a low cabinet with art propped along it, a standing bookcase, a floor lamp at each end.
Moving in around a school year
Give us the date, and the start of term if it matters. We order the long-wait pieces at once and finish any children’s rooms early, so they settle while the rest follows.
Choosing pieces that can move on
If this is one posting among several, large pieces are picked to suit a smaller room later on, and built-to-fit items are avoided.
Owners between tenants
A 1 Bukit Utama owner can refresh a home for new tenants through styling alone; homes that also need work are covered in the to-let note further down.
How styling works at 1 Bukit Utama, first call to install
A 1 Bukit Utama home keeps the same stylist from first call to the evening the last lamp goes on.
Our part is the plan; yours is approving the purchases; the styling waits for the deliveries.
The styling takes a week or two. The furniture takes longer, often four to twelve weeks, so the pieces with the longest lead go on order first.
With five blocks sharing the grounds, we confirm with management how lorries are let in and lifts reserved before the big pieces ship.

- A measured visit RM200, deducted from the fee if you go onEvery room measured, plus the +1 room, the yard and the balcony; existing furniture sorted keep, move or return.
- Agreeing the fee, then planningFirst the fee, in writing. Then a layout and buying list for each room.
- Getting it deliveredYou order, or our Procurement Concierge does; either way we keep the list of what is in and what is due.
- Setting the roomsYour stylist comes back once it is all here to place, hang, light and make up each room.
Furnishing a home near 2,000 sq ft runs to a long list of rugs, lamps, curtains and small things. We keep that list, and you can ask where it stands at any point.
What styling costs at 1 Bukit Utama
Styling at 1 Bukit Utama is estimated at RM7,780–11,210 for a 3 or 3+1, and RM9,495–12,925 for the duplex penthouse.
We charge RM1,715 a bedroom and RM2,635 for the living and dining, with the total in writing beforehand.
In the first figure we style the bedrooms and the living and dining. The second takes in two more, such as the +1 room as a study and the lanai balcony. Whatever their size, rooms are priced alike, and none are included free.
| Home | First figure includes | Lower figure | With two more rooms |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 or 3+1 1,916–2,034 sq ft | Three bedrooms, living and dining | RM7,780 | RM11,210 |
| Duplex penthouse 3,950 sq ft | Four bedrooms, living and dining | RM9,495 | RM12,925 |
A 3 or 3+1: three bedrooms at RM1,715 and the living and dining at RM2,635 equal RM7,780, and RM11,210 with two more. The penthouse: four bedrooms and the living and dining equal RM9,495, and RM12,925 with two more.
Estimated in October 2026, ahead of any quotation. Furniture is purchased separately, from a shortlist pitched at your budget.
The styling fee covers
A first conversation, in person or on video. A visit to measure the rooms and see your things, which we use before anything is bought. A plan for every chosen room showing where furniture sits and art hangs, with a list of lighting, textiles and accessories. And a setting-up visit by your stylist when the deliveries are complete.
Prefer not to manage the orders? Our Procurement Concierge places them and follows them through to your door.
Want more than styling at 1 Bukit Utama?
Sometimes the furniture is all a 1 Bukit Utama home needs.
Other times the furniture is fine, but the kitchen and bathrooms are still the ones the building was finished with.
The kitchen no longer suits how the household cooks. The bathrooms are showing their twenty years. That’s where interior design comes in.
We help you rank the changes, from a single bathroom to the whole home, so the budget goes where you’ll feel it.
Styling fills the rooms. Interior design remakes them.
Interior design at 1 Bukit Utama, when you’re staying on
1 Bukit Utama’s homes are large, freehold and set in green.
Twenty years after completion, original kitchens, bathrooms and wardrobes may be ready for a rethink.
When new furniture isn’t enough, design can take the home on in stages, so nobody has to move out.
Perhaps a kitchen that works with the yard behind it, wardrobes rebuilt to the ceiling, or the +1 room made into a proper study.
What a 1 Bukit Utama renovation usually covers
- KeepRoom sizesLarge rooms and a balcony, which no renovation needs to add
- AdaptWardrobesIf the carcasses are sound, new doors, lighting and fittings can be enough
- RenewKitchen, bathsThree bathrooms or more, so they can be done one at a time
- CheckKitchen, yardHow the kitchen and yard connect, and where the plumbing runs
Renovation rules at 1 Bukit Utama
1 Bukit Utama’s renovation rules aren’t publicly posted. Before contractors price the job, we obtain management’s current version, including the deposit, the hours work is allowed and the forms. We haven’t yet designed a home in the development, so on the call we share projects from elsewhere in the Klang Valley.
Before any works at 1 Bukit Utama
Permission comes in up to three layers. The owner’s written consent, if you’re renting. Management’s approval under the development’s rules. And, for some work, a local authority permit, which the contractor applies for.
Moving a kitchen towards the yard, relocating a bathroom or removing a wall usually needs all three; we ask about them straight away. Styling that attaches nothing needs none.
What interior design costs at 1 Bukit Utama
The Sundays in Bed design fee at 1 Bukit Utama is estimated at RM19,745–26,875 for a 3 or 3+1 and RM23,310–30,440 for the duplex penthouse.
It pays for design alone, is written down before work starts, and leaves renovation and furniture to their own budgets.
- Each room we design
- RM3,565
- Living and dining
- RM5,485
Design fee only; renovation and furniture budgets follow.
For a 3+1 we’d normally design the three bedrooms and the kitchen, RM3,565 each, and the living and dining as one room, RM5,485: RM19,745. The penthouse adds a fourth bedroom, RM23,310. Two further rooms, such as a bathroom and the +1 room as a study, give RM26,875 and RM30,440.
Our Procurement Concierge comes with any design project, and rooms needing styling only are styled at half the usual rate.
3 bedrooms and the kitchen: 4 rooms at RM3,565, plus the open-plan living and dining at RM5,485. The foyer and any yard or service area are designed free.
Within a level, the lower end is the basics and the upper end adds touches such as an island or cove lighting.
What the two levels mean
Curated means melamine or laminate carpentry, quartz counters and furniture from the likes of Commune, Cellini and Poet Living.
Bespoke means finer joinery, sintered stone, a detailed ceiling and furniture from Space Furniture, BoConcept and Molteni&C.
What the fee counts
The kitchen is charged as a room when closed off. If yours is open to the dining area, it isn’t, and you save RM3,565; we check on the visit. The yard costs nothing to design. Fees are paid in stages.
With works and furniture at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living), the all-in figure for a 1,981 sq ft 3+1 is about RM214k–356k.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 or 3+1 1,916–2,034 sq ft | RM19,745–26,875 | RM194k–336k | RM383k–752k |
| Duplex penthouse 3,950 sq ft | RM23,310–30,440 | RM223k–433k | RM436k–953k |
Curated furniture: Commune, Cellini, Poet Living. Bespoke furniture: Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C. Both figures leave out our fee.
October 2026 estimates; a quotation follows the visit.
How the 1 Bukit Utama ranges are built
Priced as a home of twenty years, with new floors. Bathrooms sit outside the lower figure; add yours in the calculator.
Wardrobes, kitchen units, bedroom air-conditioning, a washer-dryer, hob and hood are allowed for, and come off if you keep your own. Vanities are not included.
Furnishing to let?
Letting out a 1 Bukit Utama home? Between tenants, styling alone can be enough. If works are due too, our Essential level, with Ikea, SSF Home or Harvey Norman furniture, is quicker to fit and tough enough for changeovers, and our design fee doesn’t change with it.
Works and furniture at Essential, fee excluded
- 3+1
- RM108k–167k
- Penthouse
- RM125k–215k
