That’s a very important question 👍 — because the same room can be designed at very different budgets depending on material & finish choices. A transparent designer should always show you basic, premium, and luxury options so you can make informed decisions instead of being locked into one costing.
✅ How Multiple Budget Options Work
Example: Wardrobe (6 ft × 7 ft)
- Basic (₹65k–₹85k)
- Carcass: BWR ply (Green/Sainik).
- Shutters: Matte laminate.
- Hardware: Ebco/standard Hettich hinges.
- Premium (₹95k–₹1.4L)
- Carcass: BWP/HDHMR.
- Shutters: Acrylic / PU high-gloss.
- Hardware: Hettich soft-close + sliding system.
- Luxury (₹1.5L–₹2.5L+)
- Carcass: Marine ply + premium finish inside.
- Shutters: Veneer/Glass/Lacquered glass.
- Hardware: Blum/Häfele soft-close, lifetime warranty.
Example: Modular Kitchen (10 ft × 8 ft)
- Basic (₹2.5–₹3.5 Lakh)
- Carcass: BWR ply.
- Shutters: Matte laminate.
- Hardware: Ebco/Hettich regular.
- Premium (₹4–₹6 Lakh)
- Carcass: BWP/HDHMR.
- Shutters: Acrylic / PU finish.
- Hardware: Hettich soft-close / Häfele tandem.
- Luxury (₹7–₹12 Lakh+)
- Imported carcass boards (Egger, Action Tesa HDHMR).
- Shutters: Veneer/Glass/UV high-gloss.
- Hardware: Blum Aventos lift-ups, Servo-drive, Häfele imported fittings.
✅ Why This Helps You
- Clarity → you know cost difference between laminate vs acrylic vs veneer.
- Flexibility → you can mix (basic wardrobes + luxury kitchen).
- Budget Control → you can prioritize important rooms first.
💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer
- Do you provide basic, premium, luxury cost options for each room?
- Will the BOQ clearly show brand & material differences?
- Can I mix categories (e.g., premium kitchen + basic bedrooms)?
- Do you provide 3D renders with material variations for comparison?
- How much cost difference should I expect between the 3 ranges?
⚠️ Red Flags
- Designer gives only one lump sum estimate 🚩.
- No brand/material differentiation in costing.
- Pushes only “premium/luxury” without showing practical alternatives.
✅ Pro Tip
- For Delhi NCR homes → most clients go Premium for kitchen & living, Basic for wardrobes, and Luxury only for statement pieces.
- Always ask for a side-by-side comparison sheet → it saves hours of debate later.
