What do interior designers charge in George Town?+−
Most studios charge 8–15% of total project value, with a minimum fee around RM 6,000–10,000. Some charge a flat per-room rate (RM 3,500–8,000 per main living area). 3D visualisation is sometimes included in higher tiers, sometimes a paid add-on.
Do they handle the renovation execution too, or just design?+−
It varies. Roughly half of George Town designers also offer design-and-build (D&B) services where they manage contractors directly. The other half deliver drawings only and you appoint a contractor separately. Read each profile carefully — D&B is faster but reduces price visibility.
