Price your home- The fee
RM3,565 per standard room and RM5,485 for the open-plan living and dining, whichever Damansara you’re in. Fixed in writing before we begin and paid in stages as the project progresses.
- Two examples
Our design fee for a new two-bedroom condo, with the open-plan living, dining and kitchen, is RM12,615; for three bedrooms, RM16,180. For an older four-bedroom terrace with two of its three bathrooms redone, it is RM30,440.
- Start here
This page is the overview. Damansara Jaya, Damansara Utama, Bandar Utama, Ara Damansara, Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana, Kwasa Damansara and Damansara Heights each have their own page.
- The building work
Contractors do it, from quotes we gather and compare with you. We design, draw and manage the project; we don’t build it.
Which Damansara is yours, and what should you plan first?
Start with which Damansara you’re in: the older SS townships are mostly terraces, while most new keys along the corridor are for condos. That is why this page walks through a new condo first.
“Damansara” names about a dozen townships. Most are in Petaling Jaya, under its city council, MBPJ. Damansara Heights and TTDI are across the border in Kuala Lumpur, under DBKL, and have their own pages.
The SS townships. Damansara Jaya, Damansara Utama and Damansara Kim date from the 1970s and early 1980s: mostly double-storey terraces, with semi-Ds and bungalows. There the brief is reworking an older house, and Damansara Jaya and Damansara Utama have pages of their own.
The PJU townships. Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana, Bandar Sri Damansara and Ara Damansara grew from the 1990s. Most of the corridor’s new keys are here, and nearly all are condo keys.
At the door. Shoes and parcels meet in the lift lobby. Give them a vented shoe cabinet and somewhere to sit; closed boxes gather damp.
Before anything is drawn, get the management’s renovation rules in writing: the deposit, the working hours, what may change and how the service lift is booked. Deliveries run to that booking.
Glass and afternoon sun. West-facing fixed glazing brings heat as well as glare, and in a tower you can’t shade it from outside. Choose the blinds and the sofa’s position together.
The kitchen and the yard. Decide early whether you fry at home. A ducted hood where the building allows it, or the yard as a wet kitchen, keeps the smoke out of an open living room.
Walls that move. Some new layouts are built to change: TRiARA in Ara Damansara has customisable walls, and The Aldenz’s three-bedrooms have walls that can come out. Plan the storage and the spare room with that in mind.
If yours is landed, the fee per room is the same, and our landed-house guide walks through a terrace room by room. 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 Damansara?
For a new two-bedroom condo of about 850 sq ft along the Damansara corridor 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 of RM12,615.
Choose the kind of home you have, then adjust the rooms. The design fee is exact. The three ranges are typical renovation and furniture costs at each finish level, until your contractors quote. Nothing leaves your browser.
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.
Within each level, the low end is the essentials; the high end adds extras such as a feature wall, LED strips and a kitchen island.
What the three levels mean
Essential. Melamine carpentry, quartz tops, a simple plaster ceiling. Furniture from Ikea, SSF Home, Harvey Norman, Fortytwo.my, Heesz, Kinsen Home, Neo Livin, Ruma Home, Joy Studio and Mumu Living.
Curated. Melamine and laminate, sintered stone, a plaster ceiling. Furniture from Commune, Cellini, Fella Design, Dezign District, Poet Living, Big Brain, Gudang, Crown Livin and Dadswood.

Priced for a home kept to its layout; a new home keeps its developer floors. The ranges cover carpentry, ceilings and paint, lighting and wiring, air-conditioning, kitchen appliances and loose furniture, but not a television, structural work or the roof.
Other firms’ published renovation records for the Damansara townships are on our Petaling Jaya and Damansara renovation-cost page. These ranges come from typical costs for each part of the job, not from those projects. Estimates as of September 2026, not a quotation: your contractors’ quotes are the real number.

Design or styling? Interior design is for homes where something gets built: carpentry, lighting, a kitchen. Interior styling is for rooms you’re keeping as they are, and covers the furniture, art and finishing layer.
The fee counts rooms. A 2,000 sq ft condo with three bedrooms and a study costs the same to design as a smaller one with the same rooms. Size changes the renovation, not our 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.
Not a percentage. When a designer charges a share of the build, the fee climbs each time you choose the better stone. Ours is fixed per room before we start, so it stays where it was agreed.
About “free design”. It is normally built into a contractor’s price. Because our fee is separate, one set of drawings can go to several contractors, and you compare their quotes on the same work.
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.
- The discovery call FreeYour floor plan, how you live, your budget and your key date.
- Keys and defectsList defects to the developer in writing before any work covers them. The defect liability period runs 24 months from vacant possession.
- The site visit RM200, waived if you go ahead with usWe measure and photograph every room.
- The designLayout, lighting, built-ins and materials, room by room, with one designer from the first call to handover.
- The drawingsWhat your contractors quote from and build to, so the price and the work both match the design.
- The quotesWe set contractors’ quotes side by side against the drawings and show you where they differ. You choose.
- The approvalsThe management approves the renovation first and usually holds a deposit. We prepare the drawings it asks for; your contractor handles any council permit.
- On site, then moving inWe coordinate the works and deliveries around the service lift, and check what’s built against the drawings. Of the condo renovations other firms have published in the Damansara townships, most finished within 16 weeks on site.
Which council. The Selangor side of the corridor, from Damansara Jaya and Damansara Utama to Ara Damansara, Kota Damansara and Damansara Perdana, is under MBPJ. Damansara Heights and TTDI are in Kuala Lumpur, under DBKL; your assessment bill says which. A condo adds the management’s approval and deposit.
MBPJ’s minor works permit, for new tiles, painting, rewiring or built-in cabinets, is approved in 24 working hours, and the owner can apply. In Ara Damansara (PJU 1A), a standard-plan addition also needs reinforced-concrete plans and structural calculations. In KL, your licensed contractor obtains the DBKL renovation permit.
Do you cover my part of Damansara?
Yes. Sundays in Bed designs homes in person across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, and every part of the Damansara corridor, on both sides of the border, is inside that area. A site visit anywhere in it is RM200, waived if you go ahead with us.

Damansara questions, answered
Which Damansara page should I read?
Start here, then go to your township: Damansara Jaya, Damansara Utama or Bandar Utama for older landed homes; Ara Damansara, Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana or Kwasa Damansara for the newer townships; and Damansara Heights on the Kuala Lumpur side.
Do you design Damansara Heights homes, or mainly the newer townships?
Both, room by room. Damansara Heights is in Kuala Lumpur and has its own page. The two homes in our portfolio are condos at Regent Suites there.
I’m after condo interior design in Damansara. Is there a page for that?
Yes. Our Damansara condo page goes building by building. For a condo, we submit your renovation plan to the management and book the service lift for deliveries.
Can you work around a renovation that’s already partly done?
Yes. Tell us on the discovery call what’s already in place, and we’ll design around it rather than assume a blank slate.
Is the design fee a percentage of my renovation budget?
No. It’s 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. A better finish doesn’t change it.
Do you do the building work yourselves?
No. We design, draw and manage the project, and contractors carry out the works, chosen from quotes we gather and compare with you. The renovation cost is a separate number from our design fee.
Tell us which Damansara, and what you’re planning.
A free discovery call. Pick a time, then bring your floor plan or a few photos. You’ll know your design fee before you commit to anything.
