That’s a very smart question 👍 — because in luxury interiors, the décor & soft furnishings (curtains, rugs, art, chandeliers, cushions, bedding, accessories) are what truly elevate the look, and they often cost far more than people expect. In Delhi NCR, this can easily be 25–40% of your total interior budget.

💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer

Do you provide a separate décor budget sheet (curtains, rugs, art, lights, cushions)?
Do you source from luxury brands (Good Earth, Jaipur Rugs, Klove) or local vendors?
Can you mix luxury statement pieces with mid-range accessories to balance cost?
Do you pass on vendor discounts or charge sourcing fees?
Do you include final styling & décor setup in your service?

⚠️ Red Flags

Designer only budgets for furniture & carpentry, leaves out curtains, rugs, lights 🚩.
No clear allocation for décor items → you’ll overspend later.
Pushes all imported brands without showing Indian luxury alternatives.

✅ Pro Tip

In Delhi NCR, a balanced luxury décor plan usually means:
- Splurge on 1–2 statement chandeliers, 1–2 luxury rugs, premium curtains in living & master bedroom.
- Mix with mid-range cushions, art prints, accessories.
This gives you a luxury look without doubling budget.
