Quick summary: hiring an interior designer in Malaysia is quoted per project, not sold at a fixed price. Cost depends on your space size, finishing level and whether the firm also handles the renovation build, not just the design drawings. Among the firms below, the one that publishes package pricing starts from RM100,000 for an apartment or condo and from RM150,000 for a landed house, covering design and build together. The only way to get a number for your own home is a consultation with the firm directly. (Checked 27 October 2026.)
This guide compares five Malaysian interior design firms on what each publishes about their own service area, specialisation and process, so you know who to approach for a consultation rather than a single product to buy.
How We Researched This
We read what each firm publishes on its own official website: service area, specialisation, process and pricing where disclosed. None of these firms pay us a commission or sponsor this guide; the links below go straight to each firm's own site so you can book a consultation directly. Where a firm did not publish a detail, such as exact pricing, we say so rather than guess.
5 Interior Design Firms in Malaysia
BuildSpaces
BuildSpaces is the one firm here that publishes fixed package pricing: from RM100,000 for apartments and condos, and from RM150,000 for landed houses, covering interior design, renovation and custom cabinetry together. It runs what it calls the CALM renovation system (clarity, alignment, live updates, managed delivery), moving from discovery and design through 3D visualisation, scope confirmation, construction management and handover. Established in 2013, it serves Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, holds SSM registration and CIDB contractor certification, and runs its own in-house cabinetry factory.
Think Interior
Think Interior offers design and build services for both residential and commercial projects, from design and project management through renovations, extensions and architectural or civil engineering work. It is based in Kuala Lumpur with a registered office in Subang Jaya, Selangor. Its portfolio includes luxury bungalows and apartments as well as commercial fit-outs such as beauty clinics. It does not publish fixed pricing; a free consultation is offered through its booking system.
Mieux Design
Mieux Design positions itself around luxury residential work, mainly bungalows and villas, offered as a one-stop design-and-build service. Its published portfolio includes several large homes, among them an 11,835 sq ft corner bungalow and an 8,640 sq ft villa. It is based in Balakong, Selangor, and serves the wider Klang Valley including Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya and Cyberjaya. It does not publish fixed pricing on its site.
KLAAS
KLAAS covers a wide range of budgets and property types under one roof: ultra-luxury residential design, bespoke interiors, budget-conscious makeovers, small home upgrades, and commercial or office design, backed by a full design-and-build team it describes as more than 30 designers with 20 years of combined experience. Its published six-step process runs from a site visit and consultation through proposal, design development, construction drawings, renovation execution and a final handover with warranty service. It is based in Puchong, Selangor, and also takes on international projects. Pricing is not published online.
Signature Malaysia
Signature positions itself as an end-to-end provider spanning 3D design proposals, renovation and installation, interior fittings, custom built-in furniture and home appliances, with design concepts ranging from Contemporary Charm to Minima Muse. The company states 30 years of experience in the Malaysian market and operates multiple showrooms. Its portfolio lists work at developer projects including Sime Darby Bukit Raja and Sunway Serene. It also publishes financing options and a trade-in programme for existing furniture. Pricing is not published online; it offers a free design consultation.
FAQs
What is the average budget for an interior designer in Malaysia?
Among the firms above, only BuildSpaces publishes a starting figure: from RM100,000 for an apartment or condo, and from RM150,000 for a landed house, when design and the full renovation build are bundled together. A design-only engagement, without the construction work, typically costs less, but none of the firms here publish a separate design-only rate online, so ask for that breakdown directly when you request a quote.
What are the top interior design firms in Malaysia?
There is no single official ranking. The five firms in this guide, BuildSpaces, Think Interior, Mieux Design, KLAAS and Signature Malaysia, are each established, SSM-registered Malaysian firms with a public portfolio you can review before booking a consultation, spanning budget-conscious renovations through to ultra-luxury residential work.
Can you hire a freelance interior designer instead of a firm?
Yes, freelance interior designers do operate in Malaysia, usually for smaller-scope design-only work without an in-house construction team. The firms in this guide instead offer design-and-build under one roof, which suits a reader who wants a single point of contact and accountability from concept through to handover, rather than coordinating a separate designer and contractor.
What industry sector does interior design fall under in Malaysia?
Interior design in Malaysia sits within the construction and built-environment sector. Firms that also carry out renovation work, as all five above do, typically hold CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board) contractor registration alongside their SSM company registration, which is worth checking for any firm you are considering.
