Here’s a low-budget price list (indicative) for interior design of a study room (India context), with what you might expect at each tier and caveats. Use as a benchmark, not a guarantee.

Sample Low-Budget Price List for Study Room
Assume a typical study room ~ 80-120 sq ft. The following are indicative per sq ft rates and what you might get:
| Tier | Inclusions / Scope | Rate (₹ / sq ft) | Approx Cost for 100 sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design / Styling Only | Layout + concept + mood board + furniture + material suggestions (you execute) | ₹ 50 – ₹ 150 | ₹5,000 – ₹15,000 |
| Semi-Execution / Basic Setup | Adds modular desk, shelves, lighting, basic finishes + supervision | ₹ 150 – ₹ 300 | ₹15,000 – ₹30,000 |
| Basic Full Execution (Economical Materials) | All furnishing, finishes (walls, flooring), lighting, décor using value materials | ₹ 300 – ₹ 500+ | ₹30,000 – ₹50,000+ |
Tips & Caveats
- “Design / styling only” means you’ll need to source materials, labor, furnishing yourself.
- Rates may exclude structural / plumbing / heavy electrical work – these are add-ons.
- In high cost cities, even “low budget” may be toward the upper side of these ranges.
- Get a detailed quote with breakdowns (labor, materials, designer fee)
- Demand clarity on number of revisions, site visits, supervision included
