Interior designer at Pinggiran Kiara

A quiet block at Pinggiran Kiara, and a table set for Sunday.

Sixty homes on a TTDI foothill, not in Mont Kiara. We bring in the table, lamps, rugs and art that make a three-bedroom here yours, and every piece is free to come with you later. No renovation needed. Just a home that feels like you.

Shelves lit from within, a chaise by the glass, green hills beyond. Where a Pinggiran Kiara window looks out over the trees, we arrange the room towards it.

Making a Pinggiran Kiara home feel like yours: layouts and styling

Pinggiran Kiara is a small condominium of 60 homes in one 10-storey block on Jalan Datuk Sulaiman 6, in TTDI rather than Mont Kiara.

Most homes have three bedrooms in about 1,700 sq ft, and styling can make one feel lived in quickly.

StarProperty describes the block as sitting on a foothill, with windows and balconies that look out over TTDI and Bandar Utama or onto the green of the forest, and Bukit Kiara Park close by. With only 60 homes, it is a small block, and MyRumahBaru calls it a peaceful condominium among the greenery.

Pinggiran Kiara floor plans

  • 1,680–1,760 sq ftThree bedrooms, two bathrooms, the standard homes StarProperty lists
  • 1,399–1,614 sq ftFurther three-bedroom sizes that MyRumahBaru records
  • 1,190–1,610 sq ftTwo to three-bedroom types A to C, which MyRumahBaru marks as estimated

The sources don’t fully agree on the smaller sizes, so we treat them as a guide and measure your home on the visit.

Older finishes you can’t change

StarProperty’s review says the building has started to show its age. If you rent, the floors, the kitchen and the bathroom tiles are not yours to change, and they don’t need to be.

A large rug softens a tiled floor and quietens the room. Lamps at eye level take attention away from a tired ceiling light. Full linen curtains hung a little higher and wider than the window make the frame disappear. Plants and a few good pieces of art do the rest.

02Styling a home

Styling a rented Pinggiran Kiara home, without works

Renting at Pinggiran Kiara, you can change anything that stands on its own.

Holes, built-ins and hacking need the landlord’s consent in writing, and management’s approval after that.

Rooms with a view out

Where the window looks over the town or into the trees, we arrange the room towards it: a reading chair angled to the glass, a low sideboard under the sill rather than a tall one, nothing that blocks the outlook.

Three bedrooms, three different jobs

Around 1,700 sq ft gives each bedroom room to breathe. We decide what each one is for before we buy: the main bedroom, a room for a child or a guest, and often a study with a proper desk and good light.

A dining table that earns its place

In a home of this size the dining table can be generous, an oval for six that doubles as a desk on weekdays. It is usually the first piece we choose, because the rest of the living room arranges itself around it.

What the landlord has to agree

No permission needed for furniture, rugs, lamps or cushions. Ask before hooks, rails or shelves go up. Built-in wardrobes, hacking, wiring and plumbing need written consent, then management’s approval.

A move-in date to work to

Tell us when you arrive. We order the beds and the sofa first and get one bedroom ready ahead of the rest, so the first night is a comfortable one.

03How does styling work?

Styling at Pinggiran Kiara, one stylist from call to install

At Pinggiran Kiara the stylist who measures your rooms also helps you buy, and returns to arrange it all when the last piece is in.

New furniture usually takes four to twelve weeks to arrive; the styling itself takes a week or two after that. In a block of 60 homes, we keep management in the loop on every delivery and book the lift so no neighbour is held up for long.

Interior styling The full process

04How much does styling cost?

What styling costs at Pinggiran Kiara

Styling a three-bedroom Pinggiran Kiara home is an estimated RM7,780–11,210, from RM1,715 a room and RM2,635 for the open-plan living and dining, agreed in writing before any work.

Three bedrooms with the living and dining give the lower figure. Every three-bedroom plan here is over 1,200 sq ft, so the upper figure allows two more rooms, say a balcony and a dressing area. If yours is one of the smaller two-bedroom types MyRumahBaru records, two bedrooms with the living and dining come to RM6,065. There are no free rooms.

What styling includes at Pinggiran Kiara

A first call, a measuring visit, a placement guide and a shopping list for each room, and the install day, when your stylist puts everything in its place.

05Want more than styling?

Want more than styling at Pinggiran Kiara?

Rugs, lamps and curtains can carry a long way.

They can’t give a dated kitchen more counter or a bathroom better water pressure.

An original kitchen, bathrooms that need their waterproofing redone, wardrobes that don’t reach the ceiling: these are the jobs of interior design.

We help you decide what is worth changing, and plan it so the work happens once and properly.

Styling makes the home you have feel like yours. Interior design changes what isn’t working.

06What does interior design cover?

Interior design at Pinggiran Kiara for the long run

The Edge lists Pinggiran Kiara among TTDI’s earlier condominiums, built from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s.

In a home of that period, the kitchen, the bathrooms and the services behind them are usually where a redesign begins.

A three-bedroom of about 1,700 sq ft has space to rethink rather than squeeze: a kitchen with room for an island or a breakfast counter, a main bedroom with a proper dressing area, a study fitted with shelves to the ceiling. Where the windows look out over the town or the trees, we plan the rooms to face them.

What a Pinggiran Kiara renovation usually covers

  • KeepOutlookWindows towards TTDI, Bandar Utama or the forest
  • RenewKitchenCabinets, worktop and lighting, often with the layout redrawn
  • RedoBathroomsNew waterproofing under new tiles, in both bathrooms
  • CheckServicesWiring and pipes in a building of this age, before finishes go on

General guidance; we confirm what your home needs on the visit.

Renovation rules at Pinggiran Kiara

We couldn’t find the building’s renovation rules published, so we ask management for the current set, the deposit and the working hours before we quote. In a small block, the hours matter to everyone, so we plan the noisy work into as few days as we can.

We haven’t designed a home at Pinggiran Kiara. On the first call we can show you our work elsewhere in Kuala Lumpur.

Before any works at Pinggiran Kiara

Tenants need the landlord’s written consent first. Then management’s approval, and a city permit where the work calls for one, which the contractor applies for.

Removing a wall, moving a bathroom or rewiring a room may need all three, so we raise it before anything is drawn. Styling that leaves the walls alone needs none.

Interior design fees at Pinggiran Kiara

07How much does interior design cost?

What interior design costs at Pinggiran Kiara

At Pinggiran Kiara our design fee for a three-bedroom home is an estimated RM19,745–26,875, agreed in writing before we begin.

It is for the design alone; renovation and furniture have their own budgets.

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

Our fee is for the design service. Renovation and furniture are separate budgets, shown below.

The three bedrooms and the kitchen are four rooms at RM3,565 each, and the living and dining together RM5,485, which makes RM19,745. Add a bathroom and a study and the figure is RM26,875.

Choosing interior design means any room that needs styling only is styled at half the usual rate.

Our design fee, estimated

3 bedrooms and the kitchen: 4 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.

BespokeRM383,000 to RM752,000
Space Furniture, BoConcept, Molteni&C

Within each level, the lower figure covers the essentials; the upper figure adds extras such as a feature wall, LED strips and a kitchen 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

If the kitchen has its own door, it is a room in the fee; if it opens to the dining area, it is part of the living space and the fee is RM3,565 less. We invoice in stages. Choose a finer stone for the worktop and the contractor’s quote changes, while our fee stays where it was agreed.

A three-bedroom of about 1,720 sq ft comes to roughly RM214k–356k with our fee, renovation and Curated furniture (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living).

Behind the renovation figures

We’ve priced an older home renewed throughout: new floors, a new kitchen, wardrobes in three bedrooms, bedroom air-conditioners, a washer-dryer, hob and hood. Bathrooms are left out of the lower figure, so add them in the calculator. Anything you keep is taken off, and vanities aren’t counted.

Furnishing to let?

Preparing a Pinggiran Kiara home for a new tenant? With a sound kitchen and wardrobes, styling may be enough. Where works are needed, the Essential level, furnished from Ikea, SSF Home or Harvey Norman, goes in fast and wears well between lets, and the design fee is the same.

How do you style a Pinggiran Kiara home with older finishes?

We work with them rather than against them. A large rug over the floor tiles, lamps at eye level instead of one ceiling light, and linen curtains hung high and wide do most of the work, with nothing drilled that the landlord hasn’t agreed.

Yes, for anything free-standing: furniture, rugs, lamps and art. Hooks, rails and shelves need the landlord’s agreement, and built-ins or hacking need written consent and then management’s approval.
