Interior designer at Laman Suria Mont Kiara
At Laman Suria, every piece earns its place.
Whether the home came bare or someone else furnished it, we’ll choose and place each piece so a compact plan holds the way you live: somewhere to work, somewhere to eat, somewhere to sink into at the end of the day. Nothing built in, nothing to hack.
A low ledge, a lamp, a stone side table and a throw. In a compact bedroom, a few well-placed pieces do more than many.

Making Laman Suria Mont Kiara feel like home: layouts and styling
Styling a Laman Suria Mont Kiara home is about scale: furniture sized for the rooms, a dining table that earns its floor space, and lighting that makes a compact plan feel easy.
No works needed.
Laman Suria’s Standard homes are compact by Mont Kiara standards, and that is where styling does its quietest, most useful work. A sofa a few inches too deep, or a dining table one seat too long, can make a room of this size feel crowded; the right ones leave space to move, and to breathe.
Sunrise, which built much of Mont Kiara, finished the single block with six homes to a floor. StarProperty lists three kinds of home.
- 931–1,178 sq ftStandard: two or three bedrooms, going by listings
- About 2,029–2,147 sq ftPenthouses
- About 2,147 sq ftSuper Deluxe
Sizes from StarProperty’s list of the developer’s types; bedroom counts for the Standard homes from current listings. Your own plan may differ, so we measure.
Styling a compact home, room by room
In the living room, a sofa with a slim arm and raised legs reads lighter than one that sits on the floor, and a pair of small tables does more than one large one. A rug that reaches under the front legs of every seat pulls the room together.
For dining, a round table or one that extends lets four eat every day and six at the weekend. In the bedrooms, bedside shelves or narrow tables leave room for the wardrobe doors to open, and a mirror opposite the window brings the light further in.
If the second or third bedroom has to be a study as well, a desk that folds away, or a daybed in place of a guest bed, keeps the room useful every day.
Styling a rented Laman Suria Mont Kiara home
As a tenant at Laman Suria Mont Kiara, the loose things are yours to choose: the sofa, the bed linen, rugs, lamps, curtains, art.
Holes in walls, hacking or new joinery wait for the landlord’s signed agreement, and management’s after it.
When a small home came full
A furnished home under 1,200 sq ft usually has one piece too many, often a coffee table or a second armchair. We note every item, decide with you which stay, which swap rooms and which the landlord can take back, and very often removing one bulky thing helps more than anything we could bring.
Your tenancy, in plain terms
Check two clauses: furnishing, and alterations. Moving furniture never needs anyone’s say-so. Fixing things to walls normally does, because it marks them. Wiring, plumbing, cabinetry and hacking need the landlord in writing plus building approval.
So in a rental we lean on things that stand on their own: a ladder shelf, a clothes rail for the spare room, a mirror on the floor, lamps instead of new ceiling points.
Keys in hand, bed first
Give us your moving day at the start. Beds and sofas are ordered before anything else because they are slowest, and the bedroom is finished ahead of the living room, so you can sleep well from the first night.
Furniture that will fit the next place
Pieces bought for a compact Laman Suria home go anywhere afterwards; a larger room takes them easily, which is rarely true the other way round. We avoid anything built to fit these particular walls.
Landlords between tenants
Owners letting a Laman Suria unit can use styling alone to make it ready for viewings, no works needed; the to-let note below the calculator covers anything more.
How styling works at Laman Suria Mont Kiara, from call to install
Your Laman Suria Mont Kiara home has one stylist throughout, from that first conversation to the day the bed is made.
The plan is ours, the purchases are yours to approve, and the styling follows delivery.
Allow one to two weeks for the styling, and four to twelve for furniture to arrive, which is why the slowest orders go in first.
With six homes to a floor sharing the lifts, we check management’s booking rules before anything large is on its way.
- We talk FreeHow each room is used now, who shares the home, what came with it and when you plan to move.
- We measure RM200, credited against the fee if you proceedRooms, door swings and window heights recorded; what is already there sorted into keep, move or return.
- We agree, then drawThe fee goes in writing before anything else. Then a scaled plan per room and the list of pieces to buy.
- You buy, or we doOrder from the list in your own time, or our Procurement Concierge handles it. We log each delivery.
- We set it upYour stylist puts each room together once the pieces are in: the bed dressed, the lamps placed, art hung.
In a compact flat a sofa a hand’s width too deep is a daily annoyance. That is why we draw everything to scale first, and why you can always ask what happens next.
What styling costs at Laman Suria Mont Kiara
Styling a Laman Suria Mont Kiara home is estimated at RM6,065–7,780 for two bedrooms and RM7,780–9,495 for three.
Bedrooms are RM1,715 apiece and the shared living and dining room RM2,635; you see the total in writing before we start.
The first figure is the bedrooms with the living and dining. Homes this size get one extra room in the second figure, not two: the kitchen, perhaps, or a bedroom doubling as a workspace. A small room costs the same to style as a large one.
| Home | First figure styles | Lower figure | With one more room |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two bedrooms 931–1,178 sq ft | Two bedrooms, living and dining | RM6,065 | RM7,780 |
| Three bedrooms 931–1,178 sq ft | Three bedrooms, living and dining | RM7,780 | RM9,495 |
Two bedrooms at RM1,715 each plus RM2,635 is RM6,065; add a room and it is RM7,780. Three bedrooms plus the living space is RM7,780, or RM9,495 with a room added. Super Deluxe homes and penthouses are counted room by room when we visit.
Figures estimated in October 2026; your quotation follows the visit. Furniture is bought on top, from a list sized to your spend.
Included in the styling fee
A conversation about how you use the flat, a visit to measure door swings and window heights, a scaled placement plan for every room you pick, and a list of what to buy, down to the lampshades. Once it has all arrived, your stylist returns to put each room together.
If ordering is the part you’d rather skip, our Procurement Concierge places and tracks every order.
Want more than styling at Laman Suria Mont Kiara?
Sometimes the furniture is all a Laman Suria Mont Kiara home needs.
Other times the furniture is right, but the kitchen and the storage aren’t.
The wardrobes stop short of the ceiling. The kitchen has nowhere to put the rice cooker. That’s where interior design comes in.
We help you decide where money changes daily life most, whether that is a kitchen that finally holds everything or storage rethought across the flat.
Styling is about what you put in a room; interior design is about the room.
Interior design at Laman Suria Mont Kiara, for storage that works
In a compact Laman Suria Mont Kiara home, interior design is mostly about storage and light.
More than twenty years after completion, original kitchens, bathrooms and wardrobes may be ready for a rethink.
When the furniture is right but the flat still doesn’t hold your life, design is the next step, and it can go a room at a time.
Perhaps it is wardrobes taken to the ceiling, a kitchen with storage worked into every run, or a bathroom with a vanity that holds what the old one couldn’t.
What a Laman Suria Mont Kiara renovation usually covers
- KeepRoom layoutMoving walls rarely pays in a compact plan; better joinery usually does
- AdaptWardrobesFull-height doors and better inner fittings add storage without losing floor
- RenewKitchen, bathsThe rooms most often redone in a home of this age
- CheckCeilingsNo ceiling height is published, so we measure before planning any new ceiling
Renovation rules at Laman Suria Mont Kiara
Laman Suria’s renovation rules aren’t online. Management holds them, so we request the latest set, deposit and permitted hours included, before a contractor prices anything. We have no Laman Suria project to show yet; the first call takes you through work of ours from other Kuala Lumpur homes.
Before any works at Laman Suria Mont Kiara
Who has to agree? For tenants, the landlord, in writing, first. For everyone, the building’s management, on its forms. For some work, the local authority too, through a permit the contractor applies for.
Relocating a sink or removing a wall usually involves all three, so it is one of our first questions. Freestanding styling involves none.
What interior design costs at Laman Suria Mont Kiara
For interior design at Laman Suria Mont Kiara, our fee is estimated at RM16,180–19,745 for two bedrooms and RM19,745–23,310 for three.
That is for the design itself, set in writing up front, with building work and furniture in their own budgets.
- Each room we design
- RM3,565
- Living and dining
- RM5,485
The fee pays for design. Works and furniture sit in separate budgets below.
Bedrooms and the kitchen are RM3,565 each to design, and the living and dining RM5,485 as one space. Two bedrooms and a kitchen therefore come to RM16,180, three bedrooms and a kitchen to RM19,745. Being under 1,200 sq ft, the higher figure allows just one extra room, typically a bathroom: RM19,745 or RM23,310.
The design fee brings our Procurement Concierge with it, and any room you only want styled is charged at half the styling rate.
2 bedrooms and the kitchen: 3 rooms at RM3,565, plus the open-plan living and dining at RM5,485. The foyer and any yard or service area are designed free.
Each level runs from the essentials up to extras like feature walls or concealed lighting.
What the two levels mean
Curated: melamine or laminate cabinetry, quartz worktops, and pieces from Commune, Cellini or Poet Living.
Bespoke: finer joinery, sintered stone, a detailed plaster ceiling, and pieces from Space Furniture, BoConcept or Molteni&C.
Reading the design fee
A closed kitchen is charged as a room; an open one belongs to the living space, which would take RM3,565 off. We check yours on the visit. Payment is staged against agreed milestones.
A two-bedroom of 931 sq ft, designed by us and finished at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living), would total about RM185k–310k with everything in.
| Home | Our fee | Curated | Bespoke |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two bedrooms 931–1,178 sq ft | RM16,180–19,745 | RM169k–293k | RM337k–664k |
| Three bedrooms 931–1,178 sq ft | RM19,745–23,310 | RM194k–336k | RM383k–752k |
Furniture brands: Curated from Commune, Cellini, Poet Living; Bespoke from Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C. Neither column includes our fee.
Estimated in October 2026; not a quote.
What the Laman Suria ranges assume
An older flat, re-floored throughout. Bathrooms are not in the lower figure; add them in the calculator if they’re on your list.
Wardrobes, kitchen units, bedroom air-conditioning, a washer-dryer, hob and hood are all allowed for, so anything you keep lowers the total. Vanities are separate.
Furnishing to let?
Letting a Laman Suria flat? Fresh styling is often enough between tenants. Where works are needed as well, our Essential level, furnished from Ikea, SSF Home or Harvey Norman, is fast to fit and hard-wearing; our design fee is the same at every level.
Essential works and furniture, our fee not included
- 2 bedrooms
- RM94k–145k
- 3 bedrooms
- RM108k–167k
