How many hours to design a room?

The number of hours it takes to design a room depends on the complexity of the design, the designer’s workflow, and the level of customization. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1. Consultation & Planning

• Scope: Understanding your requirements, taking measurements, discussing style preferences, and creating a layout plan.
• Time Required: 2–5 hours for a single session; sometimes multiple sessions are needed.

2. Concept Development

• Scope: Creating mood boards, color palettes, furniture selection, lighting plans, and material options.
• Time Required: 5–15 hours depending on room size and design complexity.

3. Detailed Design & Drawings

• Scope: Producing floor plans, elevation drawings, 3D renders, and technical drawings for contractors.
• Time Required: 10–25 hours for a standard room; more if custom furniture or intricate layouts are involved.

4. Material & Furniture Selection

• Scope: Sourcing furniture, fixtures, finishes, lighting, and decor items.
• Time Required: 5–10 hours for sourcing online and offline; additional hours if custom orders are involved.

5. Project Management & Installation Supervision

• Scope: Coordinating with contractors, checking quality, handling changes, and final styling.
• Time Required: 10–20 hours depending on the complexity and whether the designer manages installation fully.

6. Total Estimated Time

• Simple Room (e.g., bedroom or small office): 20–40 hours
• Moderate Complexity (living room, kitchen, or master bedroom): 40–70 hours
• High-End / Luxury Room: 70–120+ hours including custom designs and high supervision

Tips to Reduce Time:

• Provide clear requirements upfront.
• Stick to pre-selected furniture and finishes when possible.
• Limit frequent design revisions.
• Use modular or ready-made furniture instead of fully custom pieces.
