π§© What Youβll Usually Get in a Cheap Package
A low-cost interior design package typically includes:

- Basic modular furniture (wardrobes, TV unit, shelves)
- Simple lighting and electrical work

- Get line-item quotes (material vs labor) β to spot markups.
- Fix material brands and specs in contract to avoid βupgrade surprises.β
- Limit scope / decorative features β do essentials first.
- Bundle work with fewer contractors so mobilization costs drop.
- Request sample deliverables (floor plan, render) before committing.
- Include contingency / buffer (~10-15%) for hidden costs.
