Interior Design Services in Kuala Lumpur

Good interior design isn’t about decoration — it’s about making spaces work. For the people who use them, for the businesses that operate in them, and for the goals they need to achieve. That’s been my approach for over 15 years, across six different sectors, for clients ranging from multinational corporations to families renovating their first home.

I’m Minal Tejani, a MIID-certified interior architect based in Bangsar, KL. I hold a BA in Interior Architecture from the University of Hertfordshire, UK, and I’m a certified member of the Malaysian Institute of Interior Designers. My clients include IKEA (three stores across Malaysia), Firmenich, Axiata, TNB, Sunway Palazzio, and Nair Dental Clinic.

Here’s an overview of everything I do.

Residential Interior Design

Homes are personal. Every family lives differently, and cookie-cutter design packages don’t account for how you actually use your space. I design condominiums, landed homes, penthouses, and bungalows with a focus on how you live — your daily routines, your storage needs, how you entertain, how your family will grow.

Whether it’s a full renovation of a new property or a targeted refresh of an existing home, I handle everything from concept through construction.

Commercial Interior Design

Commercial spaces need to work harder than homes. They serve customers, support employees, represent brands, and comply with regulations — all while staying within budget and timeline. I’ve designed offices, retail spaces, and corporate environments for some of Malaysia’s largest organisations.

My commercial experience spans corporate headquarters (Axiata, TNB), multinational workplaces (Firmenich), and large-format retail (IKEA — three stores across Malaysia).

Office Interior Design

The modern office is no longer just rows of desks. It’s a tool for attracting talent, enabling collaboration, and expressing company culture. I design offices that balance employee wellbeing with operational efficiency — from open-plan workspaces and meeting rooms to executive suites and hybrid-ready environments.

Restaurant & Cafe Interior Design

KL’s F&B scene is one of the most competitive in Southeast Asia. Your restaurant or cafe interior is part of the product — it shapes how guests feel, how long they stay, and whether they come back. I bring retail-level customer journey thinking to F&B design, covering everything from kitchen workflow to front-of-house ambiance.

Hotel & Hospitality Interior Design

Hotels sell experiences, and every touchpoint — from lobby to guest room to restaurant — is a design decision. My multi-sector background in retail, corporate, healthcare, and residential gives me a toolkit that covers every aspect of hospitality design: guest journey, brand consistency, durability, and operational efficiency.

Healthcare Interior Design

Healthcare spaces carry unique responsibilities. They must support clinical function, comply with health and safety regulations, control infection, and still feel welcoming to patients who are often anxious. My work with Nair Dental Clinic demonstrated how thoughtful design can transform a clinical environment into one that puts patients at ease while meeting every operational and compliance requirement.

Retail Interior Design

Retail is where I cut my teeth. Designing three IKEA stores across Malaysia taught me that retail spaces are precision instruments — every square foot must earn its place. Customer flow, visual merchandising, product display, checkout efficiency, and brand storytelling all need to work together seamlessly.

Design & Build — Turnkey Service

Most of my clients prefer the design-and-build approach: one point of contact managing everything from concept through construction to handover. No juggling between designer and contractor, no miscommunication, no gaps in accountability. I manage the design, coordinate the trades, supervise the build, inspect the quality, and hand over a finished space.
