Duplex Interior Design and Finishing in Lagos, Nigeria
Duplex Interior Design and Finishing in Lagos by My Space Design covers every floor of your duplex, from room layouts and staircases to ceilings, joinery, lighting and final decor.
Duplex Interior Design and Finishing by My Space Design
Duplex Interior Design and Finishing in Lagos treats the home as one connected building across two or more floors. We plan the ground floor for living, dining, kitchen and guest areas, and the upper floor for bedrooms, family lounge and private spaces. The staircase, double-height spaces and landings link the levels, so we design them as feature areas with matching finishes, balustrades and lighting.
Many duplexes in Lagos are handed over by developers as carcass or semi-finished shells. We take these shells through full interior finishing: POP and gypsum ceilings, wall screeding and painting, floor tiling, staircase cladding, kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, bathroom fittings, doors, lighting and decor. Clients in Ipaja, Alimosho and the wider Lagos area receive a single design scheme that carries through every room and every storey.
Our design and build approach keeps a large, multi-level project organised. We prepare drawings and 3D visuals, produce a cost estimate, then manage carpenters, tilers, painters, electricians and plumbers under one site supervision programme. Aesthetics and design is our soul, and quality and timely delivery is our promise, so each floor is finished with durable materials and skilled workmanship before we hand over the keys.
Scope of work
What our duplex interior design and finishing covers
Floor-by-floor space planning
We plan each level of the duplex, separating public and private zones, positioning guest toilets, family lounges, study rooms and laundry areas, and aligning wet areas above each other for efficient plumbing.
Staircase and double-height design
We design staircase finishes in tiles, marble or timber, with glass, steel or wrought iron balustrades, and treat double-height living rooms with feature walls, statement chandeliers and full-height curtains on motorised or manual tracks.
Ceilings and lighting
We design POP and gypsum ceilings for every room with cove lighting, recessed downlights and chandelier points, coordinating fittings across floors so your Duplex Interior Design and Finishing in Lagos reads as one scheme.
Wall and floor finishing
We handle wall screeding, skim coating, painting, wall panels, floor screeds and tiling in porcelain, marble-effect tiles or vinyl, creating durable, level surfaces throughout living rooms, bedrooms, landings and corridors on every floor.
Kitchens, wardrobes and bathrooms
We design and install kitchen cabinets with worktops, walk-in closets and built-in wardrobes, and bathrooms with wall tiles, vanity units, shower enclosures, water closets and fittings to suit each bedroom.
Doors, decor and handover
We fit internal doors, skirting and architraves, add curtains, furniture and decorative pieces, then clean every floor, window and fitting and hand over a complete, move-in ready duplex to your family.
Our process
How we design and finish a duplex in Lagos
- Step 1
Survey the shell
We inspect the duplex structure, measure every room on each floor, check screeds, openings and services, and agree a detailed brief for living, sleeping and entertaining spaces.
- Step 2
Design and visualise
We prepare floor plans, ceiling and lighting layouts, staircase details and 3D views of key rooms, adjusting the design with you until every floor feels right.
- Step 3
Estimate and schedule
We produce a cost estimate for the full finishing scope, broken down by trade and floor, and plan the order of works so trades progress efficiently through the building.
- Step 4
Finish and hand over
Our craftsmen complete ceilings, tiling, joinery, painting, plumbing and electrical fittings under site supervision, then we install decor, clean thoroughly and hand over the duplex.

Questions
Duplex Interior Design and Finishing FAQs
Can you finish a duplex that is still a carcass shell?
Yes. We take carcass and semi-finished duplexes through full interior finishing, including ceilings, screeding, tiling, painting, joinery, plumbing and electrical fittings. We survey the shell first, then plan the design and the order of works for every floor.
How much does duplex interior design and finishing in Lagos cost?
The cost depends on the size of the duplex, the number of floors and rooms, and the finishes you choose. My Space Design prepares a detailed cost estimate before work starts, broken down by trade and floor, so you can plan payments clearly.
Do you design the staircase as part of the project?
Yes. The staircase links every floor, so we design its treads, risers, balustrade and lighting as part of the interior scheme. Options include porcelain or marble cladding, timber treads and glass, steel or wrought iron balustrades.
Can we move in before every floor is finished?
In many cases, yes. We can plan the works so one floor is completed first, giving the household a finished living space while we continue on the remaining floors. We agree this sequence with you before construction begins.
