How much does it cost to finish a house in Kenya?

Finishes are usually 25–35% of the total cost of building a house in Kenya. For a standard 3-bedroom bungalow of about 120 m², interior finishing (ceilings, tiles, kitchen, wardrobes, paint and fittings) costs about KSh 1.2–1.6 million. Premium finishes with imported porcelain, quartz tops and designer lighting can push this to KSh 2.5 million or more.

You can control the budget by choosing where to spend: invest in the kitchen, main bathroom and living room, and go simpler in secondary bedrooms and store rooms.

Gypsum ceiling prices in Kenya

A flat gypsum ceiling costs about KSh 1,800 per m², while designs with bulkheads and cove lighting cost KSh 2,200–2,800 per m². Steel framing is more expensive than timber but doesn't sag or attract termites, so it's what we use on every job.

Popular interior styles in Kenyan homes

Modern minimalist (white and grey with warm timber accents), contemporary African (natural textures, earthy colours and local art) and luxury (marble-look tiles, gold fittings, feature walls) are the most requested styles in Nairobi, Kiambu, Nakuru and Mombasa. Our designers combine these with practical choices for Kenyan homes: durable floor tiles, washable paint and good ventilation in kitchens.
