Estimate Your Interior Budget Before You Begin
Planning your dream home? One of the first questions homeowners ask is, "How much will my interiors cost?" While every home is unique, having a rough budget estimate helps you plan better, prioritise your requirements and avoid unexpected expenses.
Here is a simple guide to estimating interior design costs for Indian homes.

Step 1: Know Your Home Size
Interior costs are generally estimated based on the carpet area.
- 2 BHK — 800 to 1,200 sq.ft. carpet area
- 3 BHK — 1,200 to 1,800 sq.ft. carpet area
- 4 BHK / Villa — 1,800 sq.ft. and above
Step 2: Choose Your Budget Category
- Essential Interiors — Rs 1,200 to Rs 1,800 per sq.ft.
- Premium Interiors — Rs 1,800 to Rs 3,000 per sq.ft.
- Luxury Interiors — Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000+ per sq.ft.
Indicative only. Costs vary depending on city, scope, materials and level of customisation.

What's Usually Included?
A complete home interior package may include:
- Modular kitchen
- Wardrobes
- TV unit
- Crockery unit
- False ceiling

These are broad estimates for complete home interiors and can vary significantly based on design choices and project scope.
