Interior design in Kileleshwa, Nairobi
Hauzisha Interiors has designed apartments, townhouses and family homes in Kileleshwa since 2019. Kileleshwa sits about 5 kilometres west of the Nairobi central business district, an upper-middle-income suburb that was once a quiet, leafy neighbourhood of low-density bungalows and is now one of the fastest-changing addresses in the city. Since the early 2000s, tower after tower of new flats and townhouses has replaced the old bungalows in Kileleshwa, and that shift is exactly where most of our work here begins: fitting out brand-new apartments and modernizing the older houses that remain.
Interior design for Kileleshwa homes and offices
Kileleshwa has two kinds of home living side by side, and each needs a different design approach. The first is the wave of new-build apartments and townhouses that developers have put up since the early 2000s, often handed over as bare shells or with basic developer finishes. The second is the remaining older bungalows, the leafy low-density houses that gave the suburb its original character, many now due for a full modern remodel. For the new flats we plan storage-led layouts, fitted kitchens and wardrobes that make the most of an apartment floor plate, and finishes that lift a standard developer unit into a genuinely designed home. For the bungalows we open up dated room layouts, replace tired ceilings and joinery, and bring the kitchen and bathrooms up to current standards without losing the mature-garden calm that draws people to Kileleshwa in the first place. With Nairobi County proposing in 2024 to re-zone parts of the suburb for far taller buildings, the pipeline of new apartment interiors here keeps growing.
Our interior design services in Kileleshwa
We give Kileleshwa clients the full service under one team, so design, sourcing and fit happen together instead of across three separate contractors. The work most requested here is apartment and townhouse interior design, fitted kitchens and cabinets, fitted wardrobes and joinery and gypsum ceilings. Each project opens with a measured survey of the unit and a costed concept, so you know the KES budget before anything is ordered. Whether you have just collected keys to a new flat off Gatundu Road or you are remodelling a bungalow you have owned for years, the same team carries the project from concept to handover.
How we work with Kileleshwa clients
- Free consultation. We visit the apartment, townhouse or bungalow in Kileleshwa, take measurements and talk through how you live in the space.
- Concept in 7 days. Within a week you have a first concept and a clear KES budget to work from.
- Sourcing and approvals. We source materials and furniture, and for the newer high-rise blocks we handle building-management approvals, service-lift booking and after-hours access so the work does not disturb other residents.
- Fit and handover. The same team installs, styles and hands the finished home back to you.
Serving Kileleshwa and nearby areas
Kileleshwa sits between some of Nairobi's best-known suburbs, and our work flows naturally across the boundaries. To the west is Lavington, to the east is Kilimani (separated from Kileleshwa by the Kirichwa River), and a short drive north brings you to Westlands. The suburb is also home to Kenya High School, a landmark that helps anchor the neighbourhood. If your home is anywhere in this corridor, we cover it from the same Westlands studio.
Interior design cost in Kileleshwa
Interior design in Kileleshwa follows the same transparent structure we use across Nairobi: design fees typically run KES 3,000 to 7,000 per square metre for a professional fit-out, and full furnished projects range from KES 30,000 for a single-room refresh to several million for a complete apartment or a whole-bungalow remodel. Because no two Kileleshwa homes are finished to the same brief, we price each one with a fixed KES quote after the consultation.

Kileleshwa interior design FAQ
Do you fit out new apartments in Kileleshwa?
Yes. New apartment interiors are the bulk of our Kileleshwa work, because so much of the suburb's old bungalow stock has been replaced by flats and townhouses since the early 2000s. We take developer shells and basic-finish units and turn them into fully designed homes with fitted kitchens, wardrobes and finishes throughout.
Can you modernize an older Kileleshwa bungalow?
Yes. We remodel the low-density bungalows that remain in Kileleshwa, updating room layouts, ceilings, joinery, kitchens and bathrooms to current standards while keeping the mature, leafy character of the original home.
Can you work around building rules in Kileleshwa high-rise apartments?
Yes. We handle building-management approvals, service-lift booking and after-hours access for the newer apartment blocks so a fit-out does not disturb other residents.
How soon can you start a Kileleshwa project?
Kileleshwa is a short drive from our Westlands studio, so we can usually visit the same week you call and deliver a first concept within seven days.
