For a studio apartment, “affordable” interior design costs in India typically lie in these rough ranges, depending on how much work you want:
| Scope / Quality | Estimated Cost | What’s likely included |
|---|---|---|
| Minimal / basic | ₹ 50,000 – ₹ 1,50,000 | Paint, lighting, basic furniture, simple layout |
| Moderate / economy finishes | ₹ 1,50,000 – ₹ 3,00,000 | Flooring, wardrobe, better furniture, some carpentry |
| Higher budget / full | ₹ 3,00,000+ | Custom work, high quality finishes, full turnkey service |
Some sources say interior designers in India charge from ₹ 50 to ₹ 500 per sq ft depending on work scope. (The Architects Diary)
Others caution that “average” rates may start higher in metros. (NoBroker)
If you tell me your studio’s area (sq ft / sq m) and your city, I can give a more accurate estimated cost for your specific apartment.
