I love your new apartment Taylor! I will be visiting Malaysia the first time in June. My husband and I are inspired by you to check out Malaysia as our future retirement destination in a few years. All I can think about everyday now is - MALAYSIA!
HOMEDEC exhibition at KLCC, KL Convention Centre will greatly help how to furnish your home. There is an exhibition this year from 2 - 5 May 2024. It’s a yearly event. Free entry.
I love your videos on expat life in Malaysia, Taylor. They’re like an anti depressant and also super informative. Great choice on your apartment design. Stay safe, blessed and happy! 🤍
This looks so good! I love how you took the orange from the rug. We have been watching your videos and others of those who have moved to Malaysia. Our sites are on it!!
The apartment looks great, Taylor! I love your choice of orange as the contrast color. I plan on purchasing an apartment here in KL when MM2H finally returns and have actually looked at a few; much like the rentals, many if not most of the apartments for sale are advertised as furnish (including furniture, not just kitchens). I've also done a bit of furniture window shopping (no buying!)... I've found it fun to go to the Home Expos that seem to show up at least once a month at the malls and the convention centers.
Lovely Apartment and furnishings Andrew ,the orange colour of the box on top of the Books really goes well with the vase and as a colour would be a bold statement.
I looooovvveeee the way you design your apartment, Taylor! You have such wonderful taste. Also enjoy watching your video❤ You've inspired me to check out Malaysia next year and hopefully live there for a while. Appreciate you and your work.
Great idea buying the oriental rug and then using that to pick a color for the accessories in the room. I will remember that one! Your place looks beautiful! Thanks for the vid!
I'm ever so thankful for your video, they're needed for those that are seriously looking at moving. I want to thank you twice over for specifically mentioning Home to you, as I stumbled across their website and didn't know if what I was seeing was really going to be there. Not to say they were lying, but rather outsourcing. I also own three cats we plan on taking with us, so this video almost feels made personally for me. I will be throwing you another coffee for sure sir!
Taylor, you have exquisite taste. I can’t remember if you’d mentioned where you found your fabulous rug? If you were still an interior designer you’d make a mint in KL!
Go to a toy store and get the cheap polystyrene or hard foam type large jigsaw puzzle tiles for toddlers. Cats love them and will reduce damage to your furniture etc.
‘Taylor spends a lot of time on the couch’😂😂😂 Love the style in your apartment, classy, cozy and tasteful. And I’d like to think the inspiration for the orange may have come from a visit to Le Nouvel not too long ago🥳
I have a 3 seat gray microfiber couch nearly identical to yours, but I wanted more versatility. I bought it with a matching ottoman so if/when I get tired of the room layout I can change the "L" arrangement from right to left or use it as coffee table by having a thick piece of tempered glass custom cut to fit the ottoman top. The orange accents really makes you living room stand out. Have you hung any of your own created artworks? I appreciate your design aesthetic & enjoyed this video. Thanks Taylor !!
Hi Taylor. Thanks for another interesting video on furniture shopping and decor. I very much like your style and colors, the rug is beautiful! Fond regards, Dan, Virginia Beach
I love your videos and your bipolar cat!! I hope to visit next year after I complete this contract with my job. Your videos encourage me to go there, you make it inviting. I am a Florida native and live in SWFL so i am used to the heat. Looking forward to travel!!
I've always had furnished apartments but I do find myself with quite a few bits of furniture these days. Maybe my next move will be to an unfurnished apartment.
Typically, locals aim to rent out to expatriates who are posted for a few years on a work permit or employment pass. Those people don't bring furniture in tow (like you, they're probably renting out their residence back home) so the idea is to provide furniture like in a service apartment. Problem is, most times they buy crappy stuff and asking a landlord to move it out after they spent money and then have to store at additional cost is a problem. In Singapore, trick is to find a new launch and engage the owner before they furnish it. Saves them money, allows you to negotiate a lower rent and the ability to furnish it any way you want. Love your posts and v nice setup in your apt!
Thank you so much for this video. I had wondered about furnishing an apartment in KL. I looked into a few in my last visits, and I am unsure if I believe the building management on claims about durability or quality for that matter. Sadly the aesthetics ranged from garish to boring. And very little else in between. It is very much like in the US, all walls and floor carpeting in rental units are beige/white and very little else.
I sent my dogs back x2 times for repairs at Harvey norman under warranty ,3vrd time not covered ..then I got them all reinforced etc for a fee to make it last ....
Do you happen to have a full size vertical scratching post for the cat? After I bought one, my cat stopped scratching the furniture. :) Just a thought.
Most tenants doesn't take care of owner's furniture which resulted in damages when they stopped renting. The tenant would then claim the damages are the result of normal wear and tear which is very hard for the owner to prove otherwise. Speaking from experience as an owner. Furnished properties fetch a higher rent but with consequence.
Beautiful redo!... Especially the rug... Could you possibly share the name of the place you bought it from?... I'm in Thailand and can't fund anything of that quality... We're planning a short trip there and the rug would be a great purchase to make while there ;-)...
About the unfurnished apartments.. Usually it comes down to preference. Some tenants who are planning to stay long term, they could prefer to have their own furnitures. Makes the house feels like home, i suppose. Fully furnished apartment are maybe better for short term lease or maybe the tenants are not thinking of staying for more than a year. But then again.. That's just my opinion on it..
I would like to apply for the SMM2H visa. Does anybody know if I need to pay an agent _and_ a lawyer to handle my application? And if I _do_ need the lawyer, what might be a reasonable fee to pay for his/her services? Thank you.
@@andrewtaylor4558 Thank you, Taylor. Every little bit of advice helps me get pointed in the right direction. I love your videos and sense of fashion/decorating, btw. Hope you and Earl Grey are having a great weekend ... Cheers!
Hi Andrew, do you know what the minimum income requirements are now to live in Malaysia. Is it reasonable for expats retiring on a small pension or only social security to qualify?
@@andrewtaylor4558 as therr is alot of condo and apartments many owners partialy furnish to attract long term tenants usually a mediuk siE fridge(and sometimes washing machine) and a usually bed in the master bedroom with the other rooms empty.
Another great video. IF you didn't sell your couch - would they have hauled your old one away? Most places in the US will do that. For custom orders - the US takes a long time - probably 2 months. Another question - why do you refer yourself by your last name? How do you prefer to be addressed (Andrew, Taylor or another name)?
There are many studio apartments for one occupant. You can also scout condos near LRT or MRT stations 10-20 minutes from the city centre. There are alot of good options outside KL city centre.
CKHome...? Why do those initials sound familiar?😁 Looks great! Careful, cats love hand woven rugs. Instead of replacing furniture every couple years, just replace Earl Grey.😂
I love your new apartment Taylor! I will be visiting Malaysia the first time in June. My husband and I are inspired by you to check out Malaysia as our future retirement destination in a few years. All I can think about everyday now is - MALAYSIA!
Best of luck to you! 🤗
Penang have Ikea and lots of attraction spot foods accomodations 😊
Cassieq can contact me to survey and tour driver service, tq
I think your new couch and rug are beautiful. Love the orange accent. Thanks for another fun video.
You are so welcome! 🤗
HOMEDEC exhibition at KLCC, KL Convention Centre will greatly help how to furnish your home.
There is an exhibition this year from 2 - 5 May 2024. It’s a yearly event. Free entry.
The couch, chair and rug in the living room look very nice. Elegant and comfortable. Price was reasonable for these items.
Nice to know. 🤗
I love your videos on expat life in Malaysia, Taylor. They’re like an anti depressant and also super informative. Great choice on your apartment design. Stay safe, blessed and happy! 🤍
Glad you like them!
Love the rug and the orange accents with the cushions. Perhaps a wall hanging with the same colour would finish it off perfectly, I think.
Great idea!!
Your apartment is classy yet comfortable, just like you and Earl Gray!
Love the new decor, especially the rug! Hopefully, Master Earl Grey will love them gently...
I think the orange was the perfect accent color from that rug.
You have a good sense of design
Orange is my favorite color!
Andrew if you want to eat chicken rendang, let me know, I can cook for you
Hello Taylor, came in your channel today simply because I miss your videos. Yet this video have lots and lots of information. Thank you.

The orange is a stroke of genius. Well done Taylor.
Taylor, thank you so much for all of your videos. You’ve inspired and helped me to arrive at my decision to retire in Malaysia. See you in 5 years.

Cheryl, you’re not home enough to worry about it! 😂
Really interesting thank you Taylor. The new rug looks great!
Glad you like it!
Here, I'm hoping for Uncle Taylor to do some Malaysian food review videos. Hopefully, in the future.
I will. Probably my favourite Malaysian snacks.
Your place looks lovely. It's definitely got the Taylor touch, and that rug 😍! Shut out to Coleen😂 🎉
❤️ You will see it soon!
Beautiful carpet. Can you share where did you buy it from? What is it made of? Thank you so much!
Carpet Inn in Ampang. It’s wool. Hand knotted from India.
Love the rug alot💥 oh and the new chair that too weeks

I've lived in Ampang and bought really low prices at Lorenzo's during sale.
Great!
Hi Andrew, do you know what the minimum income requirements are now to live in Malaysia. Is it reasonable for expats retiring on a small pension or only social security to qualify?
Sadly no
Not Cauleen!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love you Taylor 😂😂😂
I’m looking for furnished apartment because I not ready to move there yet
I guess it's cooler to live up high in the apartment during this current heatwave
Not really. 😂
Actually for most Malaysians, we rent apartment or houses unfurnished. Probably when you are an expat, you look for furnished apartment.
But most still furnished!
@@andrewtaylor4558 as therr is alot of condo and apartments many owners partialy furnish to attract long term tenants usually a mediuk siE fridge(and sometimes washing machine) and a usually bed in the master bedroom with the other rooms empty.
How are u coping with the stairs, I am 68 and I started to noticed some pain in the joints
I hate the stairs. 😂
Why did you move from penang to KL? Could you give me few reasons why? Thanks a lot.
For a new relationship

They wanted rm 160 to take the old sofa! Call me Andrew, Taylor, Andy. Whatever! 😂
