Make your unit
earn more.

A studio starts at RM14,000, a 2-bedroom at RM15,000 and a 3-bedroom at RM17,500. Stepping up a furniture level adds RM2,000 for Signature or RM4,000 for Premium.

Those figures include the furniture, curtains, lighting and ceiling fans throughout, artwork and decorations, soft furnishing, delivery, installation and styling — not just the sofa and bed. Build your package to see the exact number for your unit, or read the full breakdown in what it actually costs to furnish a KL condo.

At M Vertica in Cheras, the same 850 sq ft apartment went from RM1,900 a month bare to RM3,200 furnished — an uplift of RM1,300 a month, on a signed tenancy.

We quote that project because it is the one where we hold signed tenancies from both before and after the work, so the numbers are checkable rather than estimated. The uplift depends on the building, the floor and what else is available to rent there at the time. We'll give you an honest estimate for your own unit before you spend anything.

We don't, and that is deliberate. A showroom is a room built to sell furniture — perfectly lit, nothing like the unit you actually own, and paid for out of what every client spends. We would rather that money went into the return on your unit.

What you get instead sits much closer to the decision you are actually making. Every piece we source is in the package builder, photographed, with the level it sits at. The four designs are shown in the real rooms of a real unit rather than a styled set. And a whole finished project is in our M Vertica case study and on Instagram — the same unit bare and furnished, with the rent it went on to sign at.

No — we are a rental furnishing advisory, and the difference is what we are judged on. An interior designer is engaged to make a home feel like yours to live in, and a good one is worth every ringgit for that. We are engaged to make a unit you don't live in earn more than it does bare, so every choice gets measured against two numbers: the rent it achieves, and the month the furnishing has paid for itself.

Design still matters — it is what makes someone stop scrolling on your listing and book a viewing. But it is the means, not the point. A more beautiful choice that brings no extra rent and no faster tenancy is simply money spent, and we will tell you that before you spend it.

Most of what you need costs nothing. The four designs are shown in the real rooms of a real unit, every piece we would source is photographed in the package builder, and a complete finished project is in our M Vertica case study. Between the design you choose and the pieces listed on your quote, you know exactly what is going into the unit — and each one is a real product we source, so what you approve is what arrives.

If you want to see it in your own room — your walls, your windows, your view — we can render it for RM50 an image. We charge for it because it is real work rather than a sales tool, and most owners are comfortable deciding without one. Ask if it would genuinely help you; we will never slip it into a quote uninvited.

You could, and for some units that is genuinely the better answer. If your unit rents easily either way and you enjoy the sourcing, we will tell you to go ahead and do it yourself.

What owners engage us for is not access to furniture. It is knowing which pieces actually rent in a building like yours, a package costed against the uplift so you know your payback before you spend, one delivery day instead of a dozen, installation and styling, listing photography at handover, and a unit that is finished and ready to advertise the day we hand the keys back.

The figure worth optimising is not what the sofa cost. It is the rent your unit signs at, and how quickly the whole thing has paid for itself.

Of course — it is your unit. Premium exists because some units genuinely compete at the top of their building, and stepping up is +RM2,000 for Signature or +RM4,000 for Premium.

We will simply put the arithmetic in front of you first: what the extra spend is likely to add to your monthly rent, and what it does to your break-even month. Sometimes a higher level pays for itself several times over — a building where the furnished listings all look alike and yours needs to be the one people remember. Sometimes it buys a lovelier room and exactly the same rent. We will tell you which of the two you are looking at, and then it is your call. The job is done just as carefully either way.

Then we will say so, and it costs you nothing to find out. The site inspection and the rent estimate are free, and nothing is payable until you sign a furnishing agreement.

It is a real answer, not a disclaimer. A unit already renting well bare, a sale planned within 18 months, or a building where furnished units are so common that the premium has thinned — in those cases furnishing can cost more than it brings back. There is a middle answer too: on some units furnishing narrows the gap on your instalment without closing it, and we will show you exactly how much smaller that shortfall gets, so the decision is yours to make with real numbers in front of you.

We would rather be the people you come back to for your next unit than the ones who sold you this one. Run your own numbers first if you like — the same maths we use is on this page.

Three payments, tied to progress rather than dates:

• 50% on signing the furnishing agreement
• 40% on installation of the electrical fittings
• 10% on handover of the unit

The middle payment falls due when the lights and fans are actually up in your unit, and the last only once everything is finished, cleaned and handed back to you. Nothing is payable at the consultation or the site inspection.

Expect a deposit — most managements still require one before delivery day, even for loose furniture. The amount, and whether it comes back to you, is set by your building, so we check yours rather than guess.

You will also need a permit from the management office and a service lift booking for delivery day. Both of those are yours to arrange — a management office will only accept the application from the registered owner, so it is not something we are able to file for you. Tell us the date your permit clears and the lift slot you have booked, and we plan the delivery around it.

It is worth putting in early: our 30 working days only start counting once the permit is approved, so the sooner it goes in, the sooner your keys are in a tenant's hand.

Rental-ready in as fast as 30 working days — and day one is the day two things are both true:

• We have access to your unit — the developer's defect works are done and the keys are in your hand
• Your management office has approved the permit — this one you submit yourself, as only the registered owner can

The agreement and the first payment come before either of those; they're what lets us start sourcing. But the count itself doesn't begin until we can physically get into the unit with the building's approval to work.

We say so plainly because the waiting is usually the developer or the management office, not us — and we'd rather you plan around a real date than a hopeful one. Those 30 days then cover procurement, delivery, installation, styling, a clean and the photography for your listing.

Yes — we furnish plenty of units that are headed for Airbnb, and the job is the same one. The photography you get at handover is exactly what a listing needs on day one.

What we don't do is run the short-stay side. Guest messaging, bookings, cleaning turnarounds and pricing are a different business, so you would either engage a short-stay management company or handle it yourself. Our own rental service covers long-term tenancies only. We'll furnish the unit properly either way.

No — the opposite. Ruang is a full furnishing service: furniture, curtains, lighting and ceiling fans, artwork, decorations and the styling that ties it together, delivered as one finished unit.

Built-ins are an add-on on top of that, not the service itself. If your unit needs a kitchen cabinet or built-in carpentry we can quote it, but it sits alongside the furnishing rather than replacing it — and plenty of units rent perfectly well without any.

Kitchen cabinets, air-conditioning, electrical appliances and built-in carpentry sit outside the package, as does major rewiring and any developer defect rectification. Several are available as add-ons, and you only pay for the ones you actually need — a 43" smart TV RM1,400, a 2-door 200L fridge RM1,000, a 2-in-1 washer dryer RM1,400, air-conditioners from RM1,500 a unit, and a defect inspection from RM250. Kitchen cabinets and built-in wardrobes are quoted once we measure your unit, since the price follows the run. The inspection is ours; the rectification itself stays the developer’s job.

We'd rather tell you what a full unit really costs than quote a low number and surprise you later.

Yes. Every Ruang furnishing package comes with a Defect Liability Period of 7 working days, starting from the date of handover. During this window you can report any covered defect and we will put it right at no additional cost.

What the DLP covers

• Manufacturing defects in furniture supplied by Ruang — broken frames, faulty hinges, drawer runners or mechanisms — under normal use
• Faulty workmanship in items assembled or installed by Ruang, such as loose fittings or unstable or incorrectly assembled pieces
• Items delivered damaged, or that do not match the agreed specification
• Missing items from your confirmed package
• Ruang-supplied lighting and fittings that are not functioning at handover

What the DLP does not cover

• Damage occurring after handover caused by you, your tenant, occupants, movers or any third party — misuse, mishandling, accidents, spills or improper cleaning
• Normal wear and tear, and natural variation in materials — wood grain, fabric weave, and minor colour or tonal differences from renders, samples or photos
• Items not supplied by Ruang, or items you provided yourself
• Existing unit or developer-related conditions — walls, flooring, tiling, plumbing, electrical wiring, water seepage or dampness — which remain the owner's or developer's responsibility
• Damage from renovation works, pests, water leakage, flooding or environmental factors such as excessive humidity
• Home appliances and electronics, which are covered by their own manufacturer's warranty rather than the DLP
• Defects or issues reported after the 7 working-day period
• Change-of-mind requests, restyling, rearranging or relocating items
• Very minor scratches or marks that do not affect appearance or function
• Slight colour or texture variations
• Minor wood grain differences
• Small gaps or alignment within normal manufacturing tolerance
• Minor stitching irregularities
• Slight differences from product photos
• Natural material variations

The DLP covers rectification of genuine defects only. It is not a warranty against wear and tear, minor cosmetic imperfections, or damage caused after handover.
