1. Norm Desighaus

Norm Desighaus, an interior design company based in Selangor, offers exceptional design services for both residential and commercial spaces.

2. 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 three consecutive years (2021 - 2023).

This 2024 sqft semi-detached home in Selangor illustrates IQI Concept’s ability to meet their client’s preference who wants a modern contemporary design home. The residence is characterised by rich, dark tones and gold accents that exude an air of sophistication and refinement. As the owners frequently host social gatherings, the dry kitchen is designed to be the focal point of the communal space, enhanced by a marble-look sintered stone countertop and backsplash. This is complemented by an island featuring a generous counter space and ample storage underneath.

In the master bedroom, a half-height velvet bedhead introduces a touch of luxury, elevating the overall ambiance of the room. Meanwhile, the son's room adopts a playful yet functional theme, addressing the need for ample storage to display his Lego collection, a study space, and a contemporary bed design.

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 4 consecutive years (2020 - 2023).

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 five 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.

Among their outstanding transformations is this 3000 sqft residence in Selangor, which was renovated with a soothing Japandi design. The clever blend of wooden strip accents and pristine white base colour creates a serene atmosphere, emphasising the core principles of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian simplicity.

An intriguing feature lies in the meticulous attention to detail, as fluted designs discreetly grace every corner. From hidden doors to TV cabinets and various storage units, these subtle nuances add a distinct layering effect, subtly enhancing the overall aesthetic.

The focal point of the home is the TV feature wall in the living room, embellished with the exquisite Marmo Grande—a stone with a marble texture. This selection conveys a feeling of sophistication and luxury, serving as a beautiful reflection of the homeowner's refined taste and personality.

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.

This charming 908 sqft condominium in Bangsar, owned by a fashion designer, was designed with a minimalist interior dominated by a generous use of white.

The walls, ceilings, and floors are adorned with various hues of white, which cleverly blend with various materials and curves to add depth to the rooms. Meanwhile, subtly applied light grey plaster effortlessly brightened up every corner, creating an elegant and welcoming ambience. Plenty of natural light pours through the windows, interacting with the white walls and ceilings to create a bright and airy environment that fills the space with warmth and tranquility.
