Here is a sample low-budget interior design price list for India (2025), with rough per-unit rates and what those ranges typically cover. Use this as a guideline; local variations (city, labour, materials) are large.

Per Square Foot Rate Ranges
To estimate full apartment or large projects, these per sq ft ranges might apply:
| Scope Level | Approx Rate (₹/sq ft) | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / minimal interiors | ₹ 50 – ₹ 100 | Paint, lighting, minimal finish |
| Basic full interior | ₹ 100 – ₹ 200 | Flooring, wardrobes, fixtures, moderate carpentry |

Sources mention stylists / decorators charging ₹ 50 to ₹ 500 / sq ft depending on scope. (The Architects Diary)
An entry-level interior benchmark often cited is ₹ 250 to ₹ 500 / sq ft for full interiors. (YF Decor)
Smaller designers sometimes quote ₹ 8 to ₹ 90 / sq ft for very limited scope / design services. (dsigndpo.com)
If you give me your city, area (sq ft or rooms), and which elements you want (flooring, wardrobe, lighting etc.), I can convert this into a more precise price list for your project.
