Interior design for the new landed house you've just picked up the keys to.
Sundays in Bed designs and furnishes new landed houses across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor — the bigger footprint, multiple floors, and longer runway a full house asks for, not just a single condo unit.
A landed house is a different scope of work
Most new-build interior design conversations in Malaysia start with a condo — a single sealed unit on one floor, its rooms already laid out by the developer. A new landed house is a different scope of work. A terrace, semi-detached, or bungalow typically spreads living across two or three floors, with a wider mix of rooms than a condo unit carries — a family hall in addition to the living room, a wet and dry kitchen, bedrooms that multiply as the floors go up. Many also come with a car porch, garden, or covered outdoor area opening off the interior — spaces a condo simply doesn't have to offer.
None of that changes how the work is priced — still a flat fixed rate by room type, not by square footage or a percentage of budget. What it does change is the shape of the project. More floors means more sequencing: deciding what gets designed, sourced, and installed first, and in what order, level by level. More rooms means more individual decisions, each still priced on its own terms. And a longer floor plan, inside and out, is part of why a landed house project generally runs longer than a single condo unit.

Why timing matters even more for a house
General guidance is to engage 5 to 6 months before moving in, or immediately after getting the keys — condo or house alike. For a landed house, that runway matters more, not less. There's more square footage to plan for, more rooms to sequence floor by floor, and more furniture to source and install before move-in day. Starting at the earlier end of that window — ideally the day vacant possession is granted — leaves enough time for the discovery call, the project brief, the design itself, and the procurement and installation that follows, without compressing a multi-floor project into a few rushed weeks.
Three ways to work with us, across a whole house
The same three ways of working apply to a new landed house as to a new condo — the difference is how far each one stretches across more floors and more rooms.
Interior Styling suits a family who already owns furniture, perhaps carried over from a previous home, and wants it styled properly through every room of the new house — not only the one or two rooms a smaller unit would involve.
Remote design is a remote, fixed-price service that works room by room, which suits a family happy to manage sourcing and delivery themselves, or through the personal shopper, floor by floor and at their own pace.
Interior design is the full service — consultation, furniture procurement, installation, project management — for larger-scale projects, a description that fits a multi-floor landed house well.
All three are still priced at a flat fixed rate by room type, with the exact figure for your rooms confirmed on a discovery call. That structure carries over cleanly to a house with considerably more rooms to furnish than a single condo unit — each room is priced on its own terms, rather than the whole project becoming one lump sum tied to the size of the house. Once the designer's shopping list is ready, the concierge personal shopper add-on can also take on the sourcing, ordering, and delivery load that comes with furnishing an entire house rather than a single unit.

For a sense of how that whole-house thinking plays out, see A wanderer's vintage bohemian residence in the portfolio — thrifted pieces, vintage charm, and bohemian character carried seamlessly from one space into the next. It's a useful reference point for furnishing an entire new house rather than a single self-contained unit, where the same throughline of colour and texture needs to hold from room to room, not just within one showpiece space.

FAQ
Do you only design new condos, or new landed houses too? Both. The focus is new-build homes generally — new condos and new landed houses across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, in the period around vacant possession, not renovations of older homes.
How does pricing work for a house with more rooms than a condo? The same way it works for any project: a flat fixed rate set by room type, not by the total square footage of the house or a percentage of budget. The figure for your specific rooms is confirmed on a discovery call.
When should we get in touch if we've just received the keys to our new house? Now is a good time. General guidance is to engage 5 to 6 months before moving in, or immediately after getting the keys — and for a full house, starting at the earlier end of that window leaves more room for a multi-floor project to be sequenced properly.
Can we start with a few rooms and add the rest later? Because pricing is set by room type rather than the house as a whole, the structure allows for phasing — starting with a few key rooms and adding the rest later. What a phased plan would look like for your specific house is worth confirming on the discovery call.
A landed house is the bigger version of the same work — more rooms, more floors, more reason to start early. Begin with a discovery call, whether the keys are already in hand or the handover date is still a few months out.
