The decision to improve the design and decor of your house with the help of an interior designer is smart, filled with tons of possibilities! Here is a 'best of' list for you to evaluate the quality and creativity of eight Malaysian interior designers. Which one is your favourite?

1. IQI Concept Interior Design and Renovation

From residential to commercial, IQI Concept has worked on a variety of project types and scales. They do not have a ‘signature’ style; instead, they have a vast portfolio of every design style imaginable, from minimalist to industrial.

Over the years, the firm has received numerous awards from various media publications, including the most recent 2022 A'Design Award, the 2021 DOTY Design Award, and the Qanvast Design Award for two consecutive years (2021 and 2022).

This 1,400 sq ft condominium in Kuala Lumpur illustrates IQI Concept's ability to meet their client's preference who wants to have a home with plenty of gold accents. Earthy colour palette, combined with gold accents like gold inlay and mirror surfaces, form the pinnacle of a casual yet elegant home.

Curved details found on the furniture softened the space in the living room and kitchen, while decorative gold touches were applied to exude a calming tone of luxurious warmth. A peaceful haven that is both timeless and welcoming!

2. Stuarts Design

With a decade of experience in the industry, Stuarts Design believes in delivering only truly bespoke, individually personalised projects with a visionary result, every time.

Aside from accommodating their clients' ideas and requests, the team also suggests some cost-effective measures to ensure that the clients not incur any unnecessary renovation costs. The company also believes in combining art and technology to create the most beautiful, functional and complete space.

Stuarts Design has quite the repertoire when it comes to designing beautiful and comfortable spaces, and this 3000 sqft landed home in Kuala Lumpur demonstrates just how talented and fluent this firm is in modern design.

The combination of textures and materials such as marble, glass, leather and wooden in monochromatic colours truly reflects modern luxury and lends this home a timeless feel. Meanwhile, soft lighting adds a glow of warm lights and provides a cosy ambience to the space.

3. Haven Interior & Construction Sdn Bhd

Haven Interior & Construction is more than just a reliable interior design firm; they go above and beyond their customers' expectations. One homeowner claimed that during on-site renovation work, Haven’s team discovered an error made by the homeowner’s previous contractor and fixed it immediately, no questions asked!

The company started as a sole proprietor company in 2010 and after years of accumulated expertise, the firm has now ventured into the business of painting services and custom-made woodwork. Happy praise from their clients has also helped the company earn the Qanvast SuperTrust badge for 3 consecutive years (2020-2022).

This dual-key condominium in Kuala Lumpur highlights Haven’s outstanding woodworking skills. The condominium is divided into two sections; a two-bedroom unit for the owners (who happen to be best friends!) and an adjacent studio unit for when their relatives stay over.

To create cohesion between these two spaces, the designer added custom design cabinets, drawers and wall shelves which resulted in a neat and organised appearance.

Meanwhile, a warm colour palette of brown, beige, and white complements the light wood tone beautifully, giving the space a timeless appeal. Haven also added pops of colour such as turquoise and yellow through soft furnishings and plush seating to break up the monotony of the warm tones.

4. Klaas Design and Build

With 20 years of experience, Klaas Design and Build comprises a group of experienced and creative interior designers and builders who consistently deliver.

Based on clients’ reviews, their professionalism in renovations despite constraints, as well as prompt response to homeowner’s text messages (sometimes even after office hours!) explain their popularity among homeowners, including those engaged through Qanvast.

This spacious 3,000 sqft residence in Kuala Lumpur exemplifies the firm's expertise in designing an exquisite hotel-inspired home.

Neutral tones give this home a sophisticated appeal while subtle gleaming surfaces, mood lighting and rich materials, particularly marble and velvet, give this home a super luxurious feel.

One feature worth highlighting is the relaxing bathtub complete with a wall-mounted TV which allows the owners to soak in the tub while binge-watching their preferred series. The bedroom is similarly decorated with hotel-like features. A cabinet with a retractable TV is located in front of the bedframe, making it convenient for the owner to watch their preferred movies without ever getting out of bed!

5. RK Interior Studio

Known for its fresh and unique settings, RK Design Studio is undoubtedly a great reference if you are seeking an interior design firm for your Kuala Lumpur home. They will approach each project with meticulous attention, regardless of budget or size, and they are able to work independently without the client's close supervision while delivering excellent results.

It's no surprise that their trustworthiness, quality craftsmanship, and professionalism have earned them the Qanvast Supertrust badge for the past four years.

RK Interior's expertise in interior design is evident when the company successfully breathed new life into this 40-year-old property in Taman Maluri, transforming it into a modern, minimalist haven for a married couple and their two young daughters.

To transform an old home into a modern space, the designer redid the entire lower floor which originally came with plenty of small rooms. As a result, the house now has a large open-plan living space that incorporates the kitchen, dining room, and living room into one space.

6. Interior Hunters

Interior Hunters is managed by a group of young professionals who are well-versed in a variety of design styles, including Scandinavian and eclectic. A quick peek at their portfolio reveals that they are experienced working on a variety of projects, ranging in size from a 500 sqft studio to a 5000 sqft landed home with prices starting at less than RM50,000.

Customers commended their responsiveness in delivering information and responding to inquiries at any time of the day (or night!). Additionally, they will make sure that the overall renovation expenditures remain within the client's budget. Their team even went so far as to visit their client's home to assess the living quarters so that they could come up with a good design solution. Due to their excellent customer service and workmanship and professionalism, the firm was awarded with the Qanvast SuperTrust badge earlier this year.

One of our favourite makeovers by them has to be this beautiful, light-filled condominium in Kuala Lumpur complete with monochromatic hues.

Every room is dominated by black, white, and grey, with the exception of the master bedroom, which has a teal blue accent wall. It adds a subtle pop of colour to keep things interesting while remaining true to the monochromatic colour scheme.

The designer also added plenty of space-saving solutions to make the most of every square inch of the home. For instance, floor-to-ceiling matte black cabinets in the dry kitchen offer plenty of storage space, while helping to conceal a bulky washing machine. This contributes to the home's minimalist and uncluttered look.

7. Solid Design Studio

Established in 2013, Solid Design started as a design consulting firm and has since expanded into a full-service renovation company.

Customers frequently praise this firm for its creativity in providing design solutions - offering ideas that can help improve the quality of design without incurring exorbitant costs. All of their designs place an emphasis on timeless designs rather than trendy designs that will be out of date within a couple of years. Their level of creativity and professionalism has resulted in a number of repeated clients over the years.

In this 3-bedroom residence in Wangsa Maju, Solid Design created a modern and comfortable abode for a married couple seeking a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the most unique features found in this home is the Japanese-style tatami corner; made of storage units that are designed to fit together into a raised tatami platform. It creates the perfect corner for working, relaxing, and extra storage space for the homeowner to keep things neat and tidy. The designer further furnished this corner with Japanese arts, decor and wooden blinds that look out onto a small outdoor balcony.

8. The Grid Studio

The Grid Studio is a multi-award-winning interior design firm known for its visually appealing commercial and residential projects. The firm emphasises that every design that they produce (either big or small) will be given ample thought from the perspective of the end users, and they also put strong importance in working to meet the required timelines of their clients.

Their level of professionalism, creativity and excellent workmanship has earned them numerous awards for the past few years such as the 2015 Top 50 Most Favourite ID Awards, 2018 International Prestige Brand Award, 2020 Qanvast SuperTrust Award and 2022 Qanvast Design Award.

This charming 3275 sqft landed home in Kuala Lumpur is designed for a married couple looking for an abode that reminds them of their time studying abroad.

The designer took into account all of the clients’ suggestions and created a home with country charm. For example, the kitchen has lovely black-and-white floors, shaker-style cabinets, and country-style chairs. This, along with other design elements like subway tiles in the bathroom, french glass doors in the children's playroom, and wall paneling in the bedroom, all contribute to the European country chic style that many homeowners adore!
