Here’s a rough low-budget interior design charge estimate and how to interpret it:
Benchmarks & Reference Data
- New / lesser-known designers in India sometimes quote ₹40 – ₹70 per sq ft for basic design services. (dsigndpo.com)
- DesignCafe notes that full home interiors (mid to high finish) typically cost ₹3,00,000 to ₹7,00,000+ depending on scope and scale. (DesignCafe)
- Servicesutra lists consultation rates at ₹30 to ₹60 per sq ft in India. (servicesutra.com)
Plausible Estimate for Low-Budget Scope
| Scale / Tier | Scope Included | Approx Rate Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Design / styling only | Layout, concept, visuals, material recommendations | ₹50 – ₹150 per sq ft |
| Semi-execution / modular + finishes | Adds modular furniture, standard finishes, lighting, supervision | ₹150 – ₹300 per sq ft |
| Basic full execution (economy materials) | End-to-end work: furnishings, finishes, décor with budget materials | ₹300 – ₹500+ per sq ft |
If you tell me your locality and area or room size (in sq ft) plus the level of finish you prefer, I can compute a specific low-budget charge estimate for your project.
