Interior design in Damansara Perdana
Your Damansara Perdana home, ready for what comes next.
Every D’Tessera plan has a +1 room drawn with nothing to shut it off, and D’Terra’s walls were made to come down. We settle where work, sleep and guests belong before any joinery.

Interior designer in Damansara Perdana, for a town still filling up
Damansara Perdana, MK Land’s 1996 township in Petaling Jaya’s PJU 8, is under MBPJ, and Sundays in Bed works there in person, from the Sentral Damansara towers to ForestHill’s houses.

If you’re moving into one of the new towers, you’re among the first residents of a town still being built. The Edge gives Sentral Damansara, the 65-acre development once called Central Park Damansara, a planned population of 60,000 to 80,000.
That shapes the first months more than the furniture does. D’Terra’s 767 homes were handed over around the middle of 2026, sixteen to a floor around one lift core, so we’d expect the service lift and the renovation approvals to be busy for a while, and we’d keep deliveries few and well grouped.
Before you sign with a contractor, ask the management office how lift bookings work now that keys are out. It sets the pace of a renovation as much as any drawing does.
MK Land began Damansara Perdana in 1996 on about 750 acres, with Empire Damansara and Metropolitan Square inside it. Sentral Damansara lies across the Damansara–Puchong Expressway from Empire City, on land EXSIM bought for RM760 million in 2019.
The land is leasehold: The Edge reported in 2013 that MK Land’s subsidiary, Saujana Triangle, began the township on 832.74 acres of leasehold land, of which MK Land’s own landbank was the 750. Since 14 October 2022, DASH has had its own Damansara Perdana interchange, exit 3109A, running on to Penchala, where it meets SPRINT and the LDP.
Damansara Perdana layouts, and where the desk goes in each new home
In Damansara Perdana, Sundays in Bed has owner’s guides to D’Terra, D’Tessera and ForestHill Damansara: two towers of three- and four-bedroom homes, and a gated enclave of three-storey houses by a lake.
If you work from home, the room for it is on the plan already, though not always where you’d expect.
At D’Tessera the +1 is labelled a study and drawn without a door, so a sliding panel or a proper door is the first thing we’d add, with sound in mind, since bedrooms one to three share a bathroom. Nearly two-thirds of the tower, 431 of its 671 homes, are this 1,100 sq ft Type A.
At D’Terra, ten of every sixteen homes are 956 sq ft three-bedrooms with no +1, so the desk takes the smallest bedroom or a corner of the living room. Its walls were built to be taken down, so the third bedroom can open into the living room instead.
At ForestHill the house itself is the brief: three storeys from 4,740 sq ft, a dry kitchen open to the dining with the wet kitchen and yard behind, a helper’s room with its own bathroom on the ground floor, and a wardrobe room and a freestanding bath off the master bedroom. The home lift and the reflective pool stay where they are, so each floor is planned around them.
Older homes sit close by. Metropolitan Square fits five condominium blocks, a serviced-apartment block over shops and a six-storey office block onto 3.25 acres, launched block by block from October 2003 to December 2011, so two neighbours there can live in homes eight years apart.
New keys
Within the defect period, we’d log what the developer must fix before any of our work touches it.

Coming soon
Its keys aren’t confirmed yet, so we’d agree the study and the laundry corner on paper first.
- D’Tessera ResidencesExpected 2026Fourteen homes a floor, each a 3+1 or 4+1; 211 of the 671 have no balcony, so laundry dries indoors.

Settled
In a house about ten years old, we’d watch how the lift, the pool and the stairs are used before drawing.

What interior design costs in Damansara Perdana
In Damansara Perdana, the Sundays in Bed design fee for a D’Tessera 4+1 of about 1,300 sq ft, with the study designed as a room, is an estimated RM23,310–30,440, agreed in writing before we begin.
In Damansara Perdana, a study is a room of its own. If the +1 is going to be a study, it gets what any room gets: its own lighting, power for a desk and, if you’d like one, a door.
That is the only way a study changes our fee. The rest follows the rooms you choose, so a bedroom kept as handed over costs nothing to leave alone.
Decide before the carpentry starts. Moving a desk later means moving its sockets and its light with it.
Start from the home nearest yours and change the rooms. The figures are worked out on your own screen.
4 bedrooms and a study: 5 rooms at RM3,565, plus living and dining at RM5,485.
What Curated and Bespoke include, and why each range is wide
| Home | Rooms in the lower figure | Estimated design fee |
|---|---|---|
| D’Tessera Type B 4+1, about 1,300 sq ft: four bedrooms and the study | 5 rooms, plus living and dining | RM23,310–30,440 |
| D’Tessera Type A 3+1, about 1,100 sq ft: three bedrooms and the study | 4 rooms, plus living and dining | RM19,745–23,310 |
| D’Terra 3+1, 1,151 sq ft, both bathrooms redone | 6 rooms, plus living and dining | RM26,875–30,440 |
| A five-bedroom house, dry and wet kitchens, the helper’s room, four bathrooms redone | 12 rooms, plus living and dining | RM48,265–55,395 |
Estimates at October 2026 rates. The upper figure allows one more room in the tower homes under 1,200 sq ft and two in the larger ones, perhaps a bathroom you’d redo.
What six published Damansara Perdana renovations cost
In Damansara Perdana, six renovations published by other firms, the most of any Damansara township, ran from RM95,000 to RM400,000 and took six to sixteen weeks on site.
If you’re comparing a new tower with an older low-rise, expect the figures to land far apart. D’Erica Residence’s two records, for 1,200 sq ft three-bedrooms, took six weeks; the Armanee Terrace homes of 2,500 to 3,000 sq ft took twelve to sixteen.
Six is still too few for a median of its own. The pooled Damansara figure, RM112 a sq ft across 19 records, belongs to the whole corridor rather than to Damansara Perdana.
Renovations other firms have published in Damansara Perdana
| Home | Size | Total | Per sq ft | Weeks on site |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Armanee Terrace II, 3 bedrooms | 2,987 sq ft | RM400,000 | RM134 | 16 |
| “Armanee Terrace 2”, 4 bedrooms, three records | 2,500–3,000 sq ft | RM280k–300k | RM100–112 | 12 |
| D’Erica Residence, 3 bedrooms, two records | 1,200 sq ft | RM95k–125k | RM79–104 | 6 |
These are other firms’ published projects, updated 1 September 2026. The index lists Armanee Terrace II and “Armanee Terrace 2” separately; they may be one building under two spellings. None says precisely what was included, so treat the totals as a span; all of them are on the Petaling Jaya and Damansara renovation costs page.
Renovating in Damansara Perdana: the management’s letter comes first
In Damansara Perdana, a condo’s management must agree to the works in writing before the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) will approve them.
We draw and manage; the building is done by contractors you pick from the quotes we compare.
If you’d like a D’Terra bedroom opened into the living room, the paperwork decides how far that can go.
MBPJ’s small works form lets ten or fewer gypsum or glass partitions come out; a concrete wall, or any structural change, needs approved plans. We’d check on the drawings which wall the developer marked as removable, and draw within that.
Who says yes in Damansara Perdana
We’d have your management’s letter and the council’s form lined up before a contractor starts.
- Your building’s managementAgrees in writing first and can hold a deposit. Neither D’Terra nor D’Tessera publishes its renovation rules, so we ask the office.
- MBPJ, small worksRM250 to process and RM50 for the banner, with the management’s letter attached; work runs 8am to 6pm, never on Sundays or public holidays.
- The developerD’Terra’s 24-month defect period began with its 2026 handover; D’Tessera’s begins with its keys. Report defects in writing before work touches them.
Call us once your handover date is set, so the drawings are ready with the keys. ForestHill’s houses answer to MBPJ too, and a structural change there needs approved plans. The full process
FAQ
Damansara Perdana questions, answered
Is Sentral Damansara part of Damansara Perdana?
Yes. Sentral Damansara, formerly Central Park Damansara, is EXSIM’s 65-acre development in Damansara Perdana, PJU 8, across the Damansara–Puchong Expressway from Empire City. D’Terra and D’Tessera are two of its towers, and D’Erica Residence and D’Clover are earlier phases.
Can the walls in a D’Terra or D’Tessera home be moved?
Some can. The developer calls D’Terra’s walls flexible and hackable, and every D’Tessera plan marks one wall that can come out. MBPJ’s small works form covers ten or fewer gypsum or glass partitions, and a concrete wall needs approved plans, so we confirm each wall on the drawings first.
Do you design the houses at ForestHill Damansara?
Yes, at the same fee per room. ForestHill Damansara is a gated enclave of 75 three-storey houses by a lake of about six acres: 61 zero-lot villas, 10 bungalows and 4 semi-detached houses, each with a private home lift and a reflective pool. For a house about ten years old, the first call is where we’d agree what changes and what stays.
How much have Damansara Perdana renovations cost?
Six renovations other firms have published here ran from RM95,000, for a 1,200 sq ft three-bedroom at D’Erica Residence, to RM400,000, for a 2,987 sq ft Armanee Terrace II home, and took six to sixteen weeks. Our design fee is separate, per room, and agreed in writing before we begin.
How much does an interior designer cost per day in Damansara Perdana?
There’s no day rate. Our fee is set per room and agreed in writing before we begin, so in Damansara Perdana a D’Tessera Type A, with its study designed as a room, is an estimated RM19,745–23,310 from the first drawing to the last.
What is the 70/30 rule in interior design?
It gives about 70% of a room to one main colour or material and the other 30% to a second that sets it off. In Damansara Perdana’s D’Terra and D’Tessera, where a wall marked as removable can let a bedroom open into the living room, we’d carry the same 70 through both rooms, so they still read as one space if the wall comes down later.
What is the difference between an interior designer and a decorator?
A designer decides how the space itself works, its layout, walls, lighting and power, and draws what contractors build; a decorator chooses what goes into rooms that stay as they are. In Damansara Perdana, giving a D’Tessera study a door, or taking down up to ten gypsum or glass partitions under MBPJ’s small-works form, is design work, while dressing the finished rooms is what we offer as interior styling.
How much does it cost to hire an interior designer in Damansara Perdana?
Hiring us costs RM3,565 for each room designed, with an open-plan living and dining at RM5,485, all agreed in writing before we begin. A D’Terra 3+1 of 1,151 sq ft in Damansara Perdana with both bathrooms redone comes to an estimated RM26,875–30,440, and a five-bedroom house with its dry and wet kitchens, helper’s room and four bathrooms redone to RM48,265–55,395.
What is a normal budget for interior design in Damansara Perdana?
In Damansara Perdana, for a D’Tessera 4+1 of about 1,300 sq ft, our calculator’s estimate for renovating and furnishing is RM171k–313k at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) and RM355k–743k at the Bespoke level (Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C); our design fee of RM23,310–30,440 comes on top. Contractors’ quotes on the finished drawings then turn those ranges into real figures.
When were Damansara Perdana’s older condos built?
Mostly between 2002 and 2014, going by the township’s Wikipedia entry, which is thinly sourced: Perdana Emerald from 2002 to 2005, Ritze Perdana 1 in 2006 and Ritze Perdana 2 in 2010, Armanee Terrace I in 2008 and II in 2010, Flora Damansara’s first blocks in 2005 and Empire Residence from 2012 to 2014. In a home 12 to 24 years old, the bathrooms, the kitchen plumbing and the wiring are where we’d look first.
What is The Rafflesia in Damansara Perdana?
A gated enclave of three-storey semi-detached houses by MK Land. Its second phase set homes of 3,861 sq ft on lots of 35 by 82 ft, on what the developer called one of the township’s highest points (The Edge, 2009), and by 2013 the plan had grown to 454 houses across Rafflesia@Park, Rafflesia@Hill and Rafflesia@Peak. Over three storeys on a rising site, we’d settle which floor holds the everyday rooms before any finish is chosen.
Which way do D’Terra and D’Tessera homes face?
One of two ways: the developer’s key plans label the faces ‘Northwest – Sungai Buloh’ and ‘Southeast – TTDI/Mont Kiara’. A northwest-facing home takes the low afternoon sun, so we’d place the desk and the blinds with that in mind; on the southeast side, the light arrives in the morning instead.
What interior design services do you offer in Damansara Perdana?
In Damansara Perdana we design condos such as the Sentral Damansara towers, and landed homes such as ForestHill’s get renovation design. We draw the plans, compare contractors’ quotes with you and manage the works on site, and contractors do the building. Interior styling and our Procurement Concierge furnish the rooms, and Virtual Design is how we design homes outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
