Interior designer at Verdana North Kiara

Gardens all around Verdana, and rooms just as calm inside.

Most of Verdana’s land is given to planting and water, and the homes can share that quiet. Whether yours came furnished, part furnished or bare, we add the sofa, lamps, rugs and art that make it feel like you, all free-standing and ready to travel when you do. Nothing to renovate. Just a home that feels like yours.

01Making it feel like home

Making Verdana North Kiara feel like home: villas and layouts

Verdana’s homes are family-sized from the start, with three bedrooms at the least, and some sit at garden level.

Styling begins with which you have: an apartment villa up in the towers, or a garden villa with ground to furnish outside as well.

BRDB, the developer that also owns Bangsar Shopping Centre, built Verdana on Jalan Dutamas Raya and gave about 70% of the land to landscaping, recreation and water. The two towers hold apartment villas and garden villas; the lower block is all garden villas. Miranda Hill, BRDB’s newer development, is next door.

Sizes, from StarProperty, the developer’s brochure and sale listings:

  • About 1,450 sq ftThree bedrooms, three bathrooms
  • About 2,070 sq ftFour bedrooms, four bathrooms and a utility room
  • Up to about 3,000 sq ftThe largest villas

The published range is about 1,400 to 3,000 sq ft. The two plans above come from sale listings, so we measure your own home on the visit.

Garden villas, and furnishing the outside

A garden villa adds a room most flats never have. Treat it like one: chairs and a table that can stay out through the rains, two or three large planters rather than a crowd of small pots, and a lantern or outdoor lamp for the evening.

Inside, the view of green does a great deal of work. Keep the furniture low near the windows, choose fabrics in leaf, clay and sand, and let the planting outside provide the colour.

In the apartment villas higher up, the light is brighter and harder. Sheer linen at the windows softens it without darkening the room.

02Styling a home

Styling a rented Verdana North Kiara home

A Verdana tenancy usually lets you bring in and change whatever stands on the floor.

Anything attached to walls or ceilings, from a curtain track to a garden pergola, needs your landlord’s written agreement first.

Furnishing a family-sized home for real life

With three bedrooms or more, Verdana homes are sized for families. Styling for that means washable covers, a dining table big enough for homework, rugs that forgive spills and somewhere in the living room for school bags and shoes.

We plan children’s rooms so they can change as they grow: the bed and desk chosen to last, the colours easy to swap later.

What came with the home

If the home is let furnished, we photograph each piece and decide with you what stays, what moves to another room and what goes back to the landlord. If it came bare, we plan every room together and buy in an order that lets you live there from the first week.

The garden in a tenancy

Pots, outdoor furniture and lanterns are loose items and yours to bring. Paving, built planters, awnings and outdoor lights wired to the home are works, so they need the landlord’s consent and management’s approval.

Keeping to your move-in date

Tell us the date at the start. Beds and sofas are ordered first, children’s rooms are finished before the living room, and the garden comes last.

Pieces that travel

Outdoor furniture is the hardest thing to take to a flat. If your next home may not have a garden, choose pieces that would also work on a balcony.

03How does styling work?

How a Verdana North Kiara styling project runs

One stylist sees a Verdana project through.

We agree the rooms and our fee in writing, you approve every piece, and we come back to set the home, inside and out, once the deliveries are in.

Setting the rooms takes one to two weeks for most Verdana homes. New furniture usually arrives in four to twelve weeks, so we order the largest pieces first and the outdoor ones once the inside is settled.

We ask Verdana’s management about delivery hours and lift bookings before the first van is sent.

  1. A call about your household and the move Free
    Who will live there, which villa type you have, what is arriving with you and when you want to move in.
  2. A visit, inside and out RM200, deducted if you go ahead with us
    Rooms and garden measured, the light at each window noted, and every piece already in the home photographed.
  3. The fee in writing, then the plans
    We confirm the rooms and our fee, then send a layout and shopping list for each room, slowest deliveries first.
  4. Ordering at your pace
    Buy from the list yourself; we track what is ordered, shipped and delivered, and flag anything running late.
  5. Setting the home
    We place the furniture, lay the rugs, hang the art, dress the beds and set out the garden, then take the packaging away.

Moving a family brings a long list. We take the furniture off it and keep you posted without you having to ask.

Interior styling The full process

04How much does styling cost?

What styling costs at Verdana North Kiara

Our estimated styling fee at Verdana is RM7,780–11,210 for a three-bedroom home and RM9,495–12,925 for four bedrooms, at RM1,715 a room and RM2,635 for the open-plan living and dining.

We agree it in writing before any work.

The first figure counts the bedrooms and the living and dining. The second adds two rooms, such as a study and a family room, or the garden of a garden villa styled as an outdoor room. Size makes no difference to a room’s fee.

Verdana styling fee, estimated by home
Verdana homeRooms in the first figureFromUp to

Four-bedroom villa about 2,070 sq ftFour bedrooms, living and diningRM9,495RM12,925

The sums: three bedrooms at RM1,715 and the living and dining at RM2,635 give RM7,780, and RM11,210 with two extra rooms. Four bedrooms with the living and dining give RM9,495, and RM12,925 with two extra.

Estimates for October 2026. Furniture is paid for separately, chosen from a shortlist that fits your budget.

What the fee includes

A first call over your photos and plan, a measuring visit, a layout and shopping list for each room you choose, from the dining table to the outdoor lanterns, and an install day once everything has arrived.

Interior styling

05Want more than styling?

Want more than styling at Verdana North Kiara?

For many Verdana homes, the right furniture is enough.

For some, the furniture is easy and the kitchen or the bathrooms are what you would change first.

Maybe the kitchen is too small for a household that cooks, the wardrobes don’t suit how you store, or the bathrooms feel plain. Interior design is how those change.

We help you decide what to keep and what to change, and plan the work so the home stays liveable while it happens.

Styling changes what is in the home. Interior design changes the home itself.

06What does interior design cover?

Interior design at Verdana North Kiara, for a family home

Verdana’s homes have the space a family needs; interior design is about making it work day to day.

That usually means the kitchen, storage, bathrooms and, in a garden villa, the threshold between inside and out.

Homes completed around 2014 are reaching the point where kitchens and bathrooms begin to show wear, and where a growing household has outgrown the original storage.

What a Verdana North Kiara renovation usually covers

  • KeepLayoutThree- and four-bedroom plans with room to spare
  • BuildStorageA family storage wall, a hard-working utility room, wardrobes rebuilt inside
  • RenewKitchenMore counter and more pantry for a household that cooks
  • ConnectGarden villasDoors, flooring and lighting that carry the room out to the garden, with management’s approval

We check what your home came with against your papers on the visit.

Renovation rules at Verdana North Kiara

We could not find Verdana’s renovation rules published. Before quoting, we ask management for the current version, the deposit and the permitted hours. We have not yet designed a home at Verdana; on the first call we show you homes we have designed elsewhere in Kuala Lumpur.

Before any works at Verdana North Kiara

A tenant first needs the landlord’s written consent. Then management’s written approval, and for some works a council permit, which the contractor applies for.

Garden paving, moving plumbing or opening up a wall will usually need all three, so we raise them early. Styling needs none.

Interior design fees at Verdana North Kiara

07How much does interior design cost?

What interior design costs at Verdana North Kiara

Our design fee at Verdana is estimated at RM19,745–26,875 for a three-bedroom home and RM23,310–30,440 for four bedrooms.

It is for the design service, agreed in writing before we start; works and furniture are separate budgets.

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

Our fee buys the design. Building work and furniture are counted separately, below.

For three bedrooms, the first figure counts each bedroom and a closed kitchen at RM3,565, plus the living and dining at RM5,485: RM19,745. With a fourth bedroom it is RM23,310. The second figure adds two rooms, perhaps the utility room and a bathroom, giving RM26,875 and RM30,440.

With interior design, a room that only needs styling is charged at half the styling 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.

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.

Reading the Verdana estimate

The kitchen is counted as its own room. If yours is open to the dining area, take off RM3,565; the visit confirms it. Our fee is paid in stages and does not change with the finishes you choose.

For a 1,451 sq ft three-bedroom, our fee plus renovation and furniture at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living) comes to about RM214k–356k.

Behind the renovation figures

We priced Verdana as an older home, which includes new flooring. Bathrooms aren’t in the first figure; add those you would redo. The garden of a garden villa isn’t in these figures either; we price it once we have seen it.

Furnishing to let?

Readying a Verdana home for its next tenant? If it only needs furniture, styling may cover it. If works are needed too, our Essential level (Ikea, SSF Home, Harvey Norman) goes in quickly and holds up well between tenancies. Our design fee stays the same at every level.

FAQ

Verdana North Kiara styling and interior design questions

Can you style a Verdana garden villa, garden included?

Yes. At Verdana we treat the garden as a room: weatherproof seating, a few large planters and an outdoor light, chosen to suit the rooms inside. Anything built or wired outside needs approval first.

Do I need my landlord’s permission to style a Verdana North Kiara home?

Loose things, no: furniture, rugs, lamps, planters and garden chairs are yours to arrange. Drilling, built-ins, new wiring or paving at Verdana are another matter, and need the landlord’s written consent and then management’s approval.

What does styling a Verdana home cost?

Roughly RM7,780 to RM11,210 for a three-bedroom villa and RM9,495 to RM12,925 for a four-bedroom one. Bedrooms are charged at RM1,715 each, the living and dining together at RM2,635, and the higher number leaves room for two more spaces, the garden among them. Furniture is a separate purchase.

How do you style a Verdana home for a family?

Practically and warmly. In a Verdana family home we choose washable fabrics, a large dining table, forgiving rugs and storage in the living room, and plan children’s rooms to change as they grow.

How long does it take to style a Verdana North Kiara home?

About one to two weeks to set the home, after four to twelve weeks for new furniture to arrive. We order the beds and sofas first and finish the garden last.

What layouts does Verdana have?

Apartment villas in two 25-storey towers, and garden villas in the towers and a lower block, from about 1,400 to 3,000 sq ft. Listings show three bedrooms in about 1,451 sq ft and four bedrooms with a utility room in about 2,067 sq ft.

Is Verdana the same development as Miranda Hill?

No, though they are neighbours from the same developer. Verdana is BRDB’s completed development on Jalan Dutamas Raya; Miranda Hill is its newer one next door, with its own homes and its own page.

Styling or interior design for my Verdana home?

Styling if the rooms work and need to feel like yours. Interior design if the kitchen, storage or bathrooms at Verdana no longer suit your household. Many start with styling and plan design later.

What is the interior design fee at Verdana North Kiara?

We put it at about RM19,745 to RM26,875 for a three-bedroom Verdana villa and RM23,310 to RM30,440 for a four-bedroom, confirmed in writing. Building work and furniture sit outside the fee; at Curated (Commune, Cellini, Poet Living), a 1,451 sq ft home comes to around RM194k–336k for those.

Does Verdana have renovation rules?

It does. Verdana’s management holds them, and we found none online, so the current rules, the deposit and the hours works may run are the first things we ask for. Renting? Your landlord’s written yes comes before all of that.

Which services do you offer at Verdana North Kiara?

Styling at Verdana, indoors and out, for whoever lives there: tenants, landlords and owners alike. Interior design when the kitchen, bathrooms or storage need rethinking; we produce the drawings, go through contractors’ quotes with you and keep an eye on the site while the contractor builds. Homes outside Kuala Lumpur and Selangor can use Virtual Design.
