Price your home- The fee
RM3,565 per standard room and RM5,485 for the open-plan living and dining. Fixed in writing before we begin, never a share of your build, and paid in stages as the project progresses.
- A new condo
Two bedrooms and the open kitchen, living and dining come to RM12,615; three bedrooms, RM16,180. Bathrooms you keep as the developer handed them over aren’t counted.
- The building work
Carried out by contractors you choose, from quotes we collect and compare with you. We design, draw and manage; we don’t build.
- When to call
As soon as you have a date for your keys. The management must approve the works in writing before anyone starts, so a finished design stops that approval holding you up.
What should you plan first in a new Mont Kiara condo?
Plan the management’s approval, the service lift and the storage before you choose a single finish. In a tower, the building’s rules set the order of work, and even a large home runs out of cupboards before it runs out of floor.
Mont Kiara’s newest towers hand over big: The MINH runs from 1,607 to 3,010 sq ft, Bon Kiara from 2,081 to 3,075. They don’t come with a lighting plan, built-in storage or anywhere for a family’s shoes.
The lift lobby is your front door. At four or six homes to a floor, it’s nearly private. Inside, give the foyer a bench, a place for school bags and a shoe cabinet with vented doors, since shoes shut away in the damp soon smell of it.
The management’s rules come first. The JMB or MC approves your renovation in writing before work starts, and can set a deposit, working hours and a finishing date. Submit one complete design, not a rolling series of changes.
The service lift. Every board, sofa and bag of debris uses it, in booked slots that run short when a whole tower collects its keys together. Measure the lift car before you order a long sofa.
The west glass. Floor-to-ceiling glazing that doesn’t open turns afternoon sun into heat, and high up you can’t shade it from outside. Decide on blinds, sheers and which way the sofa faces before the carpentry is drawn.
The yard and the utility room. The washer, the dryer and the drying live here, often beside a utility room. Give that room fresh air and light, and give the yard cabinets that don’t mind damp.
Rooms with doors. At this size a study, a family room and a formal living room can each be separate. Decide where the television lives before the power points are placed.
If you’re relocating. Tell us your move-in date and school term on the first call. We work in English, plan backwards from the date you need, and our Procurement Concierge sources the furniture.
If your unit is older, or let. Mont Kiara’s first condos, Mont Kiara Pines and Mont Kiara Palma, date from 1993–94. A full renovation of an older home is worth walking through on the call first, since the scope varies from home to home. If it’s let, say so: it changes the finishes and the order of work.
How much does it cost to renovate a home in Mont Kiara?
For a new two-bedroom Mont Kiara 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 closest to yours, then change the rooms. The design fee is exact. The three ranges show what renovation and furniture typically cost at each finish level, until your contractors quote. Nothing you enter leaves 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.
Curated. Melamine and laminate, sintered stone, a plaster ceiling. Furniture from Commune, Cellini, Fella Design, Dezign District, Poet Living, Big Brain, Gudang, Crown Livin and Dadswood.

| Home | Essential | Curated |
|---|---|---|

At Essential, furniture comes from Ikea, SSF Home and Harvey Norman; at Curated, from Commune, Cellini and Poet 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 Mont Kiara projects. What other firms have published for Mont Kiara renovations is set out building by building in what renovating a Mont Kiara condo costs. Estimates as of September 2026, not a quotation: your contractors’ quotes are the real number.
How much does an interior designer cost in Mont Kiara?
For a new two-bedroom condo in Mont Kiara, the Sundays in Bed interior design fee is RM12,615; for a three-bedroom, RM16,180, fixed in writing before we begin.
| Home | Interior design | Interior styling |
|---|---|---|
| New 2-bedroom condo 2 bedrooms, and an open kitchen with the living and dining; bathrooms kept | RM12,615 | RM6,065 |
| New 3-bedroom condo 3 bedrooms, and an open kitchen with the living and dining; bathrooms kept | RM16,180 | RM7,780 |
| New 4-bedroom condo 4 bedrooms, the kitchen, living and dining; bathrooms kept | RM23,310 | RM11,210 |
| New 4-bedroom with a study 4 bedrooms, a study, the kitchen, living and dining; bathrooms kept | RM26,875 | RM12,925 |
| Resale condo 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, the kitchen, living and dining | RM30,440 | RM14,640 |
Rates as of September 2026. A dry kitchen and a wet kitchen count as two rooms.
We’ve assumed not every bathroom needs designing. Count only the ones you’d change.
Design or styling? If anything is being built, such as wardrobes, a kitchen or new lighting, it’s interior design. If the rooms stay as they are and only the furniture, art and soft layer are missing, it’s interior styling.
A bigger home doesn’t cost more per room. A 3,000 sq ft four-bedroom costs the same to design as a 1,700 sq ft one with the same rooms. At Mont Kiara’s sizes, the fee per square foot falls.
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 Mont Kiara brief can end in marble, oak or a full wall of wardrobes. If our fee were a share of the build, it would climb with each of them. It’s fixed per room, so it stays where it was agreed.
Separate from the build. Because our fee isn’t folded into a contractor’s price, the same drawings can go to several contractors and be compared 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 discovery call FreeYour unit, your household, your budget and the date you need to move in.
- Keys and defectsReport defects to the developer in writing before any work touches them. The defect liability period runs 24 months from vacant possession.
- The site visit RM200, waived if you go ahead with usWe measure and photograph every room, and look at the service lift and loading bay.
- The designLayout, lighting, built-ins and materials, room by room, with one designer from the first call to handover.
- The drawingsWhat your contractor builds from, and what the management reviews before it approves the works.
- The quotesWe gather and compare contractors’ quotes and show you where your budget works hardest. You choose.
- The approvalsThe JMB or MC 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, 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. Mont Kiara is in Kuala Lumpur, under City Hall (DBKL). In a condo, the first approval is the building’s. Under by-law 27, the JMB or MC must agree to your renovation in writing. It 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 the management and the authority (by-law 28). DBKL publishes its own procedure for renovating in strata buildings, and a separate guideline on enclosing balconies. Your licensed contractor makes any application to DBKL.
Do you cover my part of Mont Kiara?
Yes. Sundays in Bed designs homes in person across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, and all of Mont Kiara is inside that area. A site visit anywhere in it is RM200, waived if you go ahead with us.

Mont Kiara questions, answered
Do you work with Mont Kiara’s building management and renovation approvals?
Yes. The JMB or MC has to approve the works in writing before they start, and can set a deposit, working hours and a completion date. We plan the schedule around those from the first meeting, and prepare the drawings the management asks to see.
My unit at The MINH or Bon Kiara hasn’t handed over yet. Can we start?
Yes. The design can be finished before you collect the keys, so the works can start as soon as your defects are reported and the management approves them.
We’re relocating to Mont Kiara. Can you plan around our move?
Yes. Tell us your move-in date and your school term on the discovery call, and we’ll map the schedule backwards from them. We work in English throughout, and our Procurement Concierge sources the furniture, so you’re not learning local suppliers from scratch.
Can you furnish a Mont Kiara condo for a tenant, not the owner?
Yes. Tell us the brief, owner-occupied or let, at the start, and we’ll design and source for it. If nothing is being built, interior styling at RM1,715 a room may be all a let unit needs.
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.
Two more of our projects are condos at Setia Sky Seputeh. One cost at least twice as much as the other, and our design fee was the same on both: the figures are on our Seputeh renovation cost index.
