Do interior designers charge per room?

Yes πŸ‘, many interior designers do offer per-room pricing, especially for modular interiors like kitchens and bedrooms. But not all β€” some prefer per sq ft or lump-sum project costs. Here’s the breakdown:


βœ… Common Ways Interior Designers Charge

βœ”οΈ Per Room Packages

  • Very popular for kitchens, bedrooms, and living rooms.
  • Example (Delhi NCR mid-range):
    • Modular Kitchen β†’ β‚Ή2.5–6 Lakh
    • Master Bedroom β†’ β‚Ή2–5 Lakh (wardrobe, bed, false ceiling, storage)
    • Other Bedrooms β†’ β‚Ή1.5–4 Lakh each
    • Living Room β†’ β‚Ή3–6 Lakh (sofa, TV unit, ceiling, dΓ©cor)
    • Dining Room β†’ β‚Ή1–3 Lakh (dining table, crockery unit)
    • Bathrooms β†’ β‚Ή50K–1.5 Lakh each

βœ”οΈ Per Square Foot Pricing

  • Most common for full-house projects.
  • β‚Ή800–2,000/sq ft (basic to luxury).
  • Example: A 1,500 sq ft 3 BHK = β‚Ή12–25 Lakh.

βœ”οΈ Lump Sum Project Cost

  • One flat quote for the entire house.
  • Preferred for turnkey (end-to-end) projects.

βœ”οΈ Design Fee + Execution

  • Some designers charge a fixed design fee (β‚Ή50–₹500 per sq ft), then execution is separate.

⚑ When Per-Room Pricing is Useful

  • βœ… If you only want specific rooms done (e.g., just the kitchen + wardrobes).
  • βœ… If you’re budget-conscious and want to finish step by step.
  • βœ… If you want clear cost segregation for each space.

πŸ‘‰ Answer in short:
Yes, interior designers do charge per room, especially for kitchens, bedrooms, and living spaces. But for complete homes, they usually switch to per sq ft or project-based pricing since it’s more efficient.
