1. A boutique hotel-inspired terrace in Selangor | Renovation Cost: RM200,000

This 2,402 sqft terrace in Selangor has been transformed into a home with a refined, boutique hotel–inspired charm. The transformation is noticeable right from the entryway, where tiled flooring, a floor-to-ceiling shoe cabinet and a wall mirror come together to create a welcoming space while visually making the area feel more spacious.

Beyond its polished look, the home was also designed with practical family living in mind. The space under the staircase, for example, was cleverly converted into a hidden storeroom with a concealed door to keep the overall design looking seamless. To make the most of the deep corners, a pull-out cabinet was added, making it easier to access items tucked away at the back. It’s a practical spot for everyday essentials like kids’ school bags, toolkits and other household items.

2. An eclectic-designed terrace in Selangor | Renovation Cost: RM40,000

In this 1,650 sqft home, the owners managed to keep renovation costs relatively low by taking the DIY route and tackling many parts of the project themselves. This included painting the entire house, installing wainscoting and board-and-batten panelling, putting up shelves, creating wall art and handling many of the smaller finishing touches along the way.

To stretch their budget even further, they also repurposed furniture and décor from their previous home. The result is a slightly eclectic, lived-in look that not only adds character to the space, but also reflects the couple’s laid-back personalities.

3. A minimalist-styled terrace in Selangor | Renovation Cost: RM150,000

We love how Big Design Interior transformed this 1,755 sqft terrace into a functional and welcoming home, all while keeping the renovation budget at just RM150,000.

The updates were smart and purposeful, including built-in cabinets and shelves where needed, a practical laundry area that makes chores easier, and cleverly designed storage for the vacuum robot, ensuring everything has its place and keeping the home organised and clutter-free.

Paired with muted shades of grey, white, and warm wood tones, the result is a calm, harmonious home that perfectly captures the minimalist vibe the homeowners envisioned.

4. A vintage-styled townhouse in Selangor | Renovation Cost: RM200,000

For RM200,000, Interior Hunters has successfully converted a 2000 sqft townhouse into a vintage-style residence for a couple who love plants and art.

One of the major renovation works involves transforming their small, dark kitchen into a more open and sociable area. This is achieved by removing the original toilet and utility room walls and turning it into a spacious open wet kitchen.

A breakfast bar now doubles as a stylish divider between the living area and the kitchen. Thanks to a sliding door, the couple can easily switch between an open layout for watching TV or a more private space for cooking, offering flexibility without sacrificing a sense of space.

Meanwhile, the olive green kitchen ties it all together, perfectly complementing the home’s vintage and natural aesthetic.

5. A minimalist-designed double-storey home in Selangor | Renovation Cost: RM120,000

Using just RM120,000, Wedostylings transformed an empty 2,500 sqft terrace into a serene minimalist home, highlighting clean lines, open spaces and functional design. The colour palette features soft neutrals like white, grey, and muted earth tones, beautifully balanced with dark wood finishes that add warmth and contrast to the space.

High quality materials give the home a timeless appeal, while the thoughtful layout allows for a smooth flow between rooms, maintaining a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere. The result is a space that feels both sophisticated and welcoming, embodying minimalist elegance at its best.
