Interior designer at Embassyview

Settling in at Embassyview, with the rooms already yours.

Behind the gates on Jalan Ampang, the garden is already green and quiet. Indoors, we bring the same calm: furniture, lamps, rugs and art arranged around your routine, in pieces that will travel to your next address. Bare, half furnished or someone else’s taste, it can start feeling like home without a single contractor.

Making Embassyview feel like home: floor plans and styling

At Embassyview, styling begins with the unit as you found it, then layers in seating, lighting, rugs and pictures until it reads as yours, with no building work.

The plans below show the sizes you’re likely to have.

Embassyview stands on the stretch of Jalan Ampang called Embassy Row, yet inside the gates the traffic falls away. Two acres of planting, a pocket of rainforest with a jogging track through it, and just 283 homes in three towers set an unhurried pace. Rooms styled at the same pace sit easily with the setting.

Sime Darby and Brunsfield completed the development in 2011. Towers A and C hold 125 homes each; Tower B only 33. Most units are three bedrooms plus one, roomy by city standards, with penthouses at the top.

  • 1,632–2,177 sq ft261 standard units; listings show three bedrooms plus one and four bathrooms
  • About 3,710 sq ft18 junior penthouses
  • About 7,500 sq ftFour executive penthouses

Sizes and numbers per StarProperty; room counts from PropertyGuru listings. We take our own measurements.

Balconies, the +1 room and what to keep

At fifteen years old, most units have had several owners or tenants, so few are still as handed over. You may find a fully furnished flat, a partly furnished one or very little at all.

We sort the contents first. Built-in wardrobes and kitchen units stay and set the rules: where the bed fits, which tones the dining chairs must sit with. Inherited loose pieces stay, change rooms or go back. Your own things go where you’ll see them every day.

Some listings mention two balconies. With trees outside, keep the furniture low by the glass so the green carries the room, and put two chairs outdoors early; it is often the first sign a place is lived in. Then settle the +1 room: study, guest bedroom or luggage store.

02Styling a home

Styling a rented Embassyview home

As an Embassyview tenant, the freestanding things are yours to change: sofas, tables, rugs, lamps, curtains, art.

Anything that needs drilling, hacking or built-in joinery needs the owner’s written consent first and management approval after.

A partly furnished unit

Many Embassyview units come with some of the landlord’s furniture. We list it with you, room by room, and agree what stays, what moves and what returns; a dining table in good shape can stay, a sofa that sits wrong for you can go back if the lease allows.

We rearrange first and buy second. A rug, two table lamps and art hung at the right height often settle a room on their own.

The alterations clause, decoded

Moving and replacing loose furniture is usually unrestricted. Hooks, rods and shelves mark the walls, so expect to ask the owner; joinery, wiring and plumbing need written consent, then management.

Without consent: art on a ledge or console, a freestanding rail in the +1 room, lamps instead of new light points, and curtains from the tracks already up.

Timing a move from overseas

Share your arrival date on the first call. Long-lead sofas and tables are ordered at once, the main bedroom is done first so you sleep well from night one, and cushions come last.

If the container is still in transit, we measure and plan in advance and leave room for what’s coming.

Pieces worth taking on

If Embassyview is one stop of several, we buy for the next home too: rugs, lamps, art, a dining table and the balcony chairs all move easily, and large pieces are chosen to suit a smaller room later. Little is made to measure.

Owners re-letting

Owners preparing an Embassyview unit for a new tenant can restyle without works: kitchen and wardrobes kept, tired loose furniture replaced, rooms finished. Units that also need renovation are covered in Furnishing to let.

03How does styling work?

Styling at Embassyview, from first call to install day

Your Embassyview home has one stylist from start to finish.

We plan each room, you approve the buying, and we style it all after delivery.

Styling on site takes one to two weeks. Allow four to twelve weeks for furniture on order, which is why the slow pieces go first.

Lifts here run on card access, so every delivery is arranged with management in advance: the time window, the lift, and who meets the van. We book bulky items only once all three are agreed.

  1. First, a call Free
    Your household, the shipment, the landlord’s furniture and the date you’d like the keys to feel like yours.
  2. Measuring up RM200, deducted if you go ahead with us
    Rooms, balconies and the +1 room measured, and the existing furniture marked stay, move or go.
  3. Written fee, then room layouts
    The rooms and styling fee are confirmed on paper, followed by a layout and buying list for each room, longest lead times first.
  4. Ordering at your pace
    Order from the list yourself or hand it to the Procurement Concierge; we keep a running record of arrivals.
  5. Styling on site
    Once deliveries are complete, your stylist sets out the furniture, hangs the art, lights the lamps and dresses the beds.

Customs paperwork, a landlord’s list and a start date at a new job leave little headroom. We keep the styling side organised, and you can ask for an update at any time.

Interior styling The full process

04How much does styling cost?

What styling costs at Embassyview

To style an Embassyview 3+1 we estimate RM7,780–11,210.

That’s RM1,715 per room and RM2,635 for an open-plan living and dining space, confirmed in writing before the work begins.

The lower figure covers three bedrooms and the living and dining. The upper adds two spaces, for example the +1 room as a study and the balconies styled as an outdoor room. Every room is charged, and size doesn’t change the rate.

Embassyview styling fee, estimated
HomeLower figure coversLower figureWith more rooms
3+1 1,632–2,177 sq ftThree bedrooms, living and diningRM7,780RM11,210

The arithmetic: 3 × RM1,715 + RM2,635 = RM7,780; two more rooms bring it to RM11,210. Penthouses are priced per room after our visit.

Estimated as of October 2026; not a quotation. Furniture costs are separate, chosen from a shortlist set to your budget.

What’s included

An opening conversation, face to face or on screen, using your photos and plan; a measuring visit that notes what you already own so we can use it first; per room, a furniture plan and buying list taking in pictures, lighting, fabrics and small objects; and a styling day on site after everything arrives.

To skip the ordering, use the Procurement Concierge: we place orders, handle the paperwork and arrange delivery.

Interior styling

05Want more than styling?

Want more than styling at Embassyview?

For plenty of Embassyview homes, the right furniture is enough.

In others, the living room is fine and the 2011 kitchen is the problem.

Wardrobe interiors that waste half their height, a kitchen that has done fifteen years of service, bathrooms that date the flat: furniture can’t touch these. Interior design can.

We help sort out what to keep, what to change and what deserves real investment, from one bathroom to the whole unit.

Styling settles you into the home as it is; interior design changes the home.

06What does interior design cover?

Interior design at Embassyview, when home needs a little more

Embassyview offers floor area and greenery that newer towers seldom match.

Fifteen years after completion, though, some original kitchens, bathrooms and wardrobes may be ready for a rethink.

When rearranging isn’t enough, we’ll plan the next step with you.

That could mean a kitchen that works harder, wardrobes fitted out properly, or bathrooms you enjoy using. It can be done gradually, room by room, beginning where it matters most to you.

What an Embassyview renovation usually covers

  • KeepSpace, greenGenerous rooms, balconies and trees, none of which a renovation can add
  • AdaptWardrobesSound carcasses can take new doors, lights and inner fittings
  • RenewKitchen, bathsThe rooms a longer stay most often redoes, one at a time if you like
  • CheckCeilings, planCeiling height and kitchen layout aren’t published; we measure and read your drawings

The sale or tenancy agreement lists what came with the unit, and we check it on site.

Renovation rules at Embassyview

Management approves any works at Embassyview. We found no published rules, so we request the current version, with deposit, hours and forms, before quoting. With 283 homes around a central garden, sound carries, and neighbours appreciate notice of loud days.

We haven’t completed an Embassyview home so far; on the first call we’ll show you homes we’ve designed in other parts of Kuala Lumpur.

Before any works at Embassyview

Consents stack up in order: the owner’s, in writing, if you’re renting; management’s written approval under the house rules; and, where required, an authorities’ permit, which the contractor obtains.

Plumbing moves, wall removal and anything structural are the jobs most likely to need all three, so we raise them at our first meeting. Styling without drilling needs no consent.

Embassyview design fees

07How much does interior design cost?

What interior design costs at Embassyview

For an Embassyview 3+1 we estimate our design fee at RM19,745–26,875.

It covers the design service, is agreed in writing before we start, and is entirely separate from the renovation and furniture spend.

Each room we design
RM3,565
Living and dining
RM5,485

Our design fee only. Renovation and furniture have their own budget, below.

A standard Embassyview brief counts the three bedrooms and kitchen at RM3,565 apiece and the open-plan living and dining at RM5,485: 4 × RM3,565 + RM5,485 = RM19,745. Two extra rooms, such as a bathroom and the +1 room as a study, make RM26,875. As the fee follows rooms rather than square feet, it is the same for the smaller and larger standard units.

Choose interior design and the Procurement Concierge is included; rooms that need only styling are styled at half price.

Our design fee, estimated

3 bedrooms and the kitchen: 4 rooms at RM3,565 apiece, and RM5,485 for the open-plan living and dining. Foyer, yard and service spaces are free.

RM19,745
Renovation and furniture for the rooms you’ve chosen, before our fee
CuratedRM194,000 to RM336,000
Commune, Cellini, Poet Living
BespokeRM383,000 to RM752,000
Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C

Within a level, the lower end is the essentials and the upper end adds extras like a feature wall, LED strips or an island.

What the two levels mean

Curated. Melamine or laminate carpentry, quartz or sintered stone tops, the existing ceiling kept or a new plaster ceiling. Furniture from Commune, Cellini, Fella Design, Dezign District, Poet Living, Big Brain, Gudang, Crown Livin and Dadswood.

Bespoke. Detailed joinery, sintered stone tops, a plaster ceiling with detailing. Furniture from Space Furniture, Tekni, BoConcept, King Living, Ambient Living, Stanzo, Forest Furniture, Roche Bobois, XTRA, Urban Edge, Molteni&C, Nostaloft, Flexform, Janine and Chesters Collection.

How the fee works

The kitchen counts as a room when it’s enclosed. If yours opens to the dining area it isn’t counted, and the fee is RM3,565 lower; we’ll see on the visit. We invoice in stages, and a costlier worktop changes the builder’s price, never our fee.

Together, our fee and renovation and furniture at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) come to about RM214k–356k for a 1,701 sq ft 3+1.

About the renovation ranges

Priced as an older flat with new floors throughout. Bathrooms aren’t in the lower figure; add any you’d redo in the calculator. Penthouses are priced on site.

Covered: wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, bedroom air-conditioners, a washer-dryer, hob and hood. Keep the originals and they come off. Vanities are outside these figures.

Furnishing to let?

Getting an Embassyview unit ready to let? If it only needs furniture, styling does the job. If it needs works too, our Essential level, with pieces from Ikea, SSF Home or Harvey Norman, installs quickly and handles tenant turnover. Our design fee is unchanged at any level.

FAQ

Styling and interior design questions at Embassyview

How do you style an Embassyview home that came partly furnished?

We work from the inventory. Built-in wardrobes and kitchen units stay; the landlord’s loose pieces are marked stay, move or return; and new purchases fill the gaps around what you already own.

Can I style a rented Embassyview home without the landlord’s permission?

Loose items, yes: furniture, rugs, lamps, curtains on the existing tracks, and art leaning on a ledge. Drilling, hacking or built-ins at Embassyview need the owner’s written consent and management approval. We read the lease clause with you first.

How much does interior styling cost at Embassyview?

Roughly RM7,780–11,210 for a 3+1: RM1,715 for each of the three bedrooms and RM2,635 for the living and dining, with the higher figure adding two rooms such as the +1 room and the balconies. Furniture is extra, and the fee is agreed in writing first.

What does interior styling include at Embassyview?

An opening call, a measuring visit, a furniture plan and buying list for each room you choose, and an on-site styling day once deliveries arrive. One room or all of them; you buy, or our Procurement Concierge does.

How long does it take to style an Embassyview home?

One to two weeks of styling after delivery, and four to twelve weeks for new furniture, so slow pieces are ordered first. We can begin by video with your floor plan while you’re still overseas.

Can the furniture from an Embassyview home come with me when I move?

Anything loose, yes, including the balcony chairs. We choose larger pieces that will still suit a smaller room later and keep made-to-measure work to a minimum; fitted joinery stays with the unit.

What are the floor plans at Embassyview?

The 261 standard units measure about 1,632 to 2,177 sq ft and are listed as three bedrooms plus one with four bathrooms. Above them are 18 junior penthouses of about 3,710 sq ft and four executive penthouses of about 7,500 sq ft.

Do I need interior design or styling for my Embassyview home?

Styling if the unit works and needs to feel personal; interior design if the kitchen, bathrooms or wardrobes need changing. Plenty of people style first and redesign later, a room at a time.

How much does interior design cost at Embassyview?

An estimated RM19,745–26,875 for a 3+1, agreed in writing, covering three bedrooms, the kitchen and the living and dining, with two more rooms in the upper figure. Renovation and furniture are separate: about RM194k–336k at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) for a 1,701 sq ft unit.

Does Embassyview have renovation rules?

Yes; Embassyview’s management approves all works, but its rules aren’t published. We obtain the current copy, with deposit, hours and forms, before quoting. If you rent, the owner’s written consent comes first.

What interior design services do you offer at Embassyview?

Styling for tenants and owners, room by room, and design of kitchens, bathrooms and joinery for longer stays. We prepare drawings, compare contractor quotes with you and supervise on site; contractors build. Styling and the Procurement Concierge are available alone, and Virtual Design serves homes outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
