Browse 12 interior looks for a kampung or wooden house, from an open-roof living hall to a cool colour palette, then see what each involves.
📍 We serve KL, Selangor & Putrajaya.
Inside a kampung house, good design works with the timber, not against it: keep the high roof and the louvres for airflow, brighten plank walls with wood paint, refinish floors and ceiling boards, and furnish lightly with rattan and timber. Timber walls move and breathe, so heavy wall-hung cabinets and wet finishes do not belong on them, and old wiring clipped onto timber is the biggest fire risk, so it is re-run in conduit before the finishes. These 12 concept designs show traditional, light and practical kampung interiors. Use the filters below to narrow them by style.
Each design below is an illustrative concept render of the inside of a kampung or wooden house, grouped by style. Tap any image to enlarge it. Every card links to the ClickBina guide that covers the paint, floor, ceiling, window, door or wiring work behind that look.

living room colours →These are illustrative concept designs created to show interior options for a kampung or wooden house. They are not completed ClickBina projects. Your house is assessed and quoted to its own timber, wiring and layout.

A kampung house stays cool because of its form: a raised floor, a tall roof, deep eaves and many openings. The interior should keep those working. Leave the louvres operable, keep air paths open under and through the house, and brighten rooms with colour and light rather than closing them in.
If a room has a wet use, such as a bathroom or wet kitchen on the timber floor, the better design move is to take it out of the timber house; ClickBina's kampung house renovation guide recommends moving wet rooms into masonry.
| Part of the house | Works well | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Plank walls | Wood paint, light shelves on studs, fabric and woven panels | Heavy wall-hung cabinets on boards, cement render, wet finishes |
| Timber floor | Sanding and oil or lacquer, rugs, raised furniture | Tiles laid on boards, standing water, sealed-in damp |
| Open roof | Cleaned rafters, a fan on a downrod, roof insulation above | Closed low ceilings that trap heat |
| Louvres | Restored leaves, insect screens behind | Fixed glass that stops the airflow |
| Old wiring | Full rewire in conduit with earth leakage protection | Adding more sockets onto old cable |
| Room | Usually works | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Living hall | Open roof, fan on a downrod, rattan, sanded floor | Fan fixing strength and wiring route |
| Bedroom | Pale planks, louvres with screens, a net canopy | Rain through old louvres |
| Front room or serambi | Built-in bench, cushions, plenty of airflow | Rain splash at the open edge |
| Prayer corner | Low raised platform, plain mat, quiet colours | Trip edge on the platform |
The kampung renovation guide calls old wiring clipped onto timber walls the most serious risk in an old wooden house, and recommends a full rewire in conduit with a new distribution board and earth leakage protection. Termites are treated before repairs, because new timber over an active colony is simply fresh food; see termite treatment for existing homes.
No single rate covers a kampung interior, because board repairs and the state of the wiring drive the price. The published figures on ClickBina's guides give the scale: timber floor sanding and refinishing at RM4 – RM8 per sq ft, an extra RM50 – RM150 per ceiling fan for ceilings of 12 ft and above, corrective termite treatment at RM1,500 – RM4,000, and a terrace-house rewire at RM8,000 – RM15,000, which the kampung renovation guide uses as a yardstick (indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026).
Ask for repairs, wiring, floors and paint to be listed separately so the safety work can go first.
We renovate and repair houses, including the carpentry, floor, paint and wiring work a kampung interior needs, with an electrician for the wiring and termite treatment planned before the timber work.
