Price your home- The fee
RM3,565 per standard room and RM5,485 for the open kitchen, living and dining. Fixed in writing before we begin, never a percentage of your build, and paid in stages as the project progresses.
- A new condo
Two bedrooms with the open kitchen, living and dining come to RM12,615; three bedrooms, RM16,180. Bathrooms you keep as handed over aren’t counted.
- The building work
Done by contractors, from quotes we gather and compare with you. We design, draw and manage the project; we don’t build it.
- When to call
As soon as you have a date for your keys, so the design is ready at handover and your building’s management can approve it before work begins.
What should you plan first in a KLCC, Bukit Bintang or TRX condo?
Plan around the building before the room: its renovation rules, its service lift and its glass. In a tower, they decide what you can change, when the work happens and how the unit feels at four in the afternoon.
Most homes here are in towers, from studios above Bukit Bintang’s malls to branded residences on Jalan Ampang and the new blocks at TRX. The same stops come up in almost every one.
The lift lobby and the shoe cabinet. Your door opens off a shared corridor, so shoes, umbrellas and parcels need a place just inside it. Give them a bench and a shoe cabinet with vents, since closed boxes grow mould in this humidity.
The management’s rules. Every building has its own: working hours, a renovation deposit, what can be drilled, where the air-conditioning units go. Ask for the rulebook with your keys. We draw the design inside it, and your plan goes to the management before work starts.
The service lift. Deliveries and debris travel in it, in booked slots. Measure the lift car before you choose a sofa; modular and knock-down pieces solve most of the rest.
The glass. Floor-to-ceiling glazing is fixed, and the facade belongs to the building. So a west-facing unit can’t be shaded from outside. Use sheers for the afternoon and blackout that seals at the edges, since the skyline stays lit. Add solar film where the management allows it.
The view. If you face the Twin Towers or KLCC Park, arrange the living room around the window, not the television.
The yard and the kitchen. The washer often lives in a small yard, sometimes behind the only window that opens. Give it moisture-resistant cabinets and a drying rack. In an open kitchen, the hood your building allows decides how far the wok travels.
Storage. In a compact unit, it’s built in or it doesn’t exist: full-height wardrobes, a bed with drawers, a TV wall that hides the router.
If you’ll rent it out. Choose finishes that survive turnover, like quartz tops and fabrics that wash, and hand it over complete rather than staged.
If your unit is older. 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 KLCC?
For a new two-bedroom condo of about 1,000 sq ft in KLCC, Bukit Bintang or TRX 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 your kind of home, then set the rooms. The design fee is exact. The three ranges are what renovation and furniture typically cost at each finish level, until your contractors quote. It all runs in your browser and sends nothing.
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 condo 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 KLCC projects. For what other firms have published about renovations in named KLCC towers, see what renovating in KLCC costs. Estimates as of September 2026, not a quotation: your contractors’ quotes are the real number.

Design or styling? Interior design is for when something is being built: carpentry, lighting, a kitchen. Interior styling is for rooms that stay as they are; it’s the furniture, art and finishing layer.
The fee follows the rooms, not the floor area. A 1,300 sq ft two-bedroom costs the same to design as an 800 sq ft one.
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. The fee is paid in stages as the project progresses.
Why not a percentage? When design is folded into a build quote, or charged as a share of it, the fee grows every time you choose the better stone. Ours is fixed per room, so it doesn’t.
What about “free design”? It’s usually paid for inside the build price. Ours is a separate, fixed fee, so you can take the same drawings to more than one contractor and compare their quotes 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.

- On site, then moving inWe coordinate the works, deliveries and lift bookings, 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.
Which council, and what it takes. All of KLCC, Bukit Bintang and TRX is in the Federal Territory, under Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL). In a condo, the building’s management approves your plan first. Its own rules set working hours, the renovation deposit and lift bookings.
The renovation permit from DBKL is obtained by your licensed contractor. For a strata home, DBKL asks for the written consent of the Joint Management Body or Management Corporation with the application.
Do you cover my part of KLCC, Bukit Bintang or TRX?
Yes. Sundays in Bed designs homes in person across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, and all of KLCC, Bukit Bintang and TRX is inside that area. A site visit anywhere in it is RM200, waived if you go ahead with us.

KLCC, Bukit Bintang and TRX questions, answered
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.
Do you design small KLCC and Bukit Bintang units?
Yes, at the same fee per room: a new one-bedroom with its open kitchen, living and dining is RM9,050. A compact unit needs more planning, not less: storage built in, and furniture sized to the floor plate so it doesn’t look sparse. Both homes in our portfolio are condos, at Regent Suites in Damansara Heights.
Can you design a unit that will be rented out?
Yes. We specify finishes that hold up to turnover, and plan for a complete handover rather than a staged one, so the unit is ready for a tenant the day the works finish.
Should I start before I get my keys?
Yes, ideally five to six months before you want to move in, or as soon as you have a date for your keys. The design can then be ready at handover, approved by your management, and work starts once your defects are reported.
Do I need a permit to renovate a condo in KLCC?
Usually two approvals. Your building’s management approves the plan first and holds a renovation deposit. The renovation permit from DBKL is obtained by your licensed contractor, with the written consent of your Joint Management Body or Management Corporation. We help gather the documents for both.
Is the design fee a percentage of my renovation budget?
No. It’s a fixed fee per room: 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, so it doesn’t rise when you choose a better finish.
