Great that you’re asking this 👍 — because Delhi’s local markets like Kirti Nagar, Banjara Market, and Bhagirath Palace are treasure troves for interiors. Many designers either (a) have vendor tie-ups here or (b) prefer to stick to premium showrooms where they get commissions. Knowing whether your designer sources here can save you 20–40% on décor & furniture costs.
