Price your home- The fee
RM3,565 per standard room and RM5,485 for the open kitchen, living and dining. Set in writing before we start, paid in stages as the project progresses, and never tied to what your renovation costs.
- A new condo
Two bedrooms and an open kitchen with the living and dining come to RM12,615; three bedrooms, RM16,180. Bathrooms you keep as handed over aren’t counted.
- The building work
Built by contractors, chosen by you from quotes we gather and compare. We design, draw and manage the project, and don’t build it ourselves.
- When to call
Before your block’s handover. When a thousand homes get their keys in the same season, the lift slots and the good contractors are booked early.
What should you plan first in a new Dutamas condo?
Plan the storage and your place in the lift queue before the furniture. In a compact home handed over alongside hundreds of others, floor space and access are what run out first.
Dutamas hands over compact, and all at once. Solasta Dutamas is 1,159 homes of 720 to 900 sq ft; TuJu Residences, off Jalan Kuching, adds 932 more. The brief is less about filling space than finding it.
The door. A compact plan has no foyer to spare. A shallow, louvred shoe cabinet, a hook rail and a mirror do the work of a hall.
The management’s rules. Nothing starts until the managing body approves the works in writing, and it can take a deposit and fix working hours and a finishing date. In a new block that’s often the developer at first, and the rules arrive with the keys.
The service lift and loading bay. When a tower collects its keys in the same months, slots run short. A finished design and a chosen contractor before handover put you near the front.
The afternoon side. A west-facing room behind fixed, full-height glass heats up through the afternoon, and a tower has no eave or tree to help. Pick the blinds, and where the sofa faces, before the carpentry.
The yard and the open kitchen. The yard holds the washer and the drying. An open kitchen shares its smoke with the sofa, so a ducted hood matters more here than the cabinet doors.
Storage before furniture. In 900 sq ft, every metre of corridor is taken from a bedroom. Full-height built-ins, a bed with drawers and a desk that folds away do more than a bigger sofa.
The smallest room. It will be a study, then a nursery, then a guest room. Run power, data and air-conditioning for all three now.
If you’re letting it, or it’s older. Say so at the start: a let unit changes the finishes and what’s worth building in. Solaris Dutamas was completed in 2009; a full renovation of an older home is worth walking through on the call first, since the scope varies from home to home.
How much does it cost to renovate a home in Dutamas?
For a new two-bedroom Dutamas 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.
Pick the home nearest to yours, then set its rooms. The design fee is exact. The three ranges show what renovation and furniture tend to cost at each finish level, until your contractors quote. Everything stays in 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.

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.
The ranges come from typical costs for each part of the job, not from Dutamas projects. Estimates as of September 2026, not a quotation: your contractors’ quotes are the real number.
How much does an interior designer cost in Dutamas?
For a new two-bedroom condo in Dutamas, the Sundays in Bed interior design fee is RM12,615; for a three-bedroom, RM16,180, fixed in writing before we begin.

We’ve assumed not every bathroom needs designing. Count only the ones you’d change.
Design or styling? Choose interior design when something is built: wardrobes, a kitchen, lighting. Choose interior styling when the rooms stay as they are and you need the furniture, art and finishing touches. A unit readied for tenants may need only styling.
Small homes aren’t priced up or down. The fee follows the rooms, so an 880 sq ft three-bedroom costs the same to design as a 1,400 sq ft one. You’re not paying a share of a budget you haven’t spent.
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 not a percentage? A percentage fee rises with every upgrade you choose. Ours is fixed per room, so a better worktop costs you the worktop and nothing more.
Why pay for design at all? “Free design” is usually inside a contractor’s price. A separate fee gives you drawings that several contractors can quote on, like for like.
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 approvalsThe managing body 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.
- On site, then moving inWe coordinate the works, the lift bookings 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. Dutamas is in Kuala Lumpur, under City Hall (DBKL). In a condo the building approves first: under by-law 27 the managing body, whether the developer, a JMB or an MC, must agree in writing, and can set a deposit, working hours and a date to finish.
Moving plumbing, an external window or door, a safety feature or the whole electrical system needs written approval from both the management and the authority (by-law 28). DBKL publishes its own procedure for renovating in strata buildings. Your licensed contractor makes any application to DBKL.
Do you cover my part of Dutamas?
Yes. Sundays in Bed designs homes in person across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, and all of Dutamas is inside that area. A site visit anywhere in it is RM200, waived if you go ahead with us.
New developments we’re following
These are the towers completing in and around Dutamas now and over the next two years, several of them on its North Kiara and Segambut edges. If yours is one of them, we’ve already done the reading.
- Solasta DutamasDue 2026Three towers · 1,159 serviced residences, 720–900 sq ft, with a covered walkway to Segambut KTM
- TuJu ResidencesDue Q3 2027Duta North, off Jalan Kuching · 932 homes in two 41-storey towers, 710–1,442 sq ft

- Papyrus North KiaraDue March 2028Jalan Dutamas Dahlia · 454 homes in two 38-storey towers, 1,141–5,523 sq ft
The two ends of this list need different briefs. At Solasta, a three-bedroom in 900 sq ft is a storage plan first. At Papyrus, a four- or five-bedroom of several thousand square feet is planned more like a house. Tell us which is yours.
Also on our reading list: Alix Residences on Jalan Dutamas Raya, now complete, The Fiddlewoodz @ KL Metropolis and Solaris Parq. TuJu Residences is not Tujuh in Kwasa Damansara; for that one, see Kwasa Damansara.

Dutamas questions, answered
My unit at Solasta, TuJu or Papyrus hasn’t handed over yet. Can I start planning?
Yes. The design can be finished before handover, so the works start as soon as your defects are reported and the management approves them, ahead of the rush of a large handover.
Everyone in my block is fitting out at once. Does that affect my schedule?
It does, and we plan for it. Lift bookings, loading-bay slots, working hours and contractors all tighten during a big handover. Having the design and the contractor settled before you collect the keys is the surest way to stay ahead of the queue.
My unit is a one-plus-one. Is it worth hiring a designer for something that small?
Small homes are where planning earns most, because there’s no spare space to absorb a mistake. The fee is per room, so a one-plus-one with an open kitchen is priced as exactly that.
Can I keep 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 design project, tell us what stays and we plan around it.
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, both new handovers. Our condo guide covers the condo brief in full.
