How much does it cost to decorate a room?

The cost of decorating a room in Gurgaon (or similarly priced cities in Delhi NCR) depends a lot on size, scope, materials, and finishes. Below is a breakdown of what to expect—with examples—to help you estimate a reasonable budget for your room.


What drives the cost

Some of the main factors that affect how much decorating will cost:

  • Size of the room (sq ft)
  • How much furniture is needed (new vs reuse)
  • Type of furniture (modular vs custom; basic vs premium)
  • Flooring / wall finishes / painting / wallpaper
  • Lighting & fixtures
  • Décor: curtains, rugs, art, accessories etc.
  • Designer fees / labour cost
  • Complexity of work (false ceiling, electrical, custom cabinetry etc.)

Example cost ranges

Here are some sample costs for different types of rooms, with different quality levels:

How to decide on your room decorating budget

Here’s a small step-by-step plan you can follow to pick a budget that’s reasonable for your situation:

  1. Measure the room (sq ft)
  2. Decide what elements you need: furniture, lighting, décor, cabinetry, floor/wall finishes etc.
  3. Choose your quality level: basic, mid-range, or premium
  4. Get quotes for each component: furniture, labour, materials etc.
  5. Include a buffer of 10-20% for unexpected costs.

If you tell me your room’s size, what level of finish you want (basic / mid / premium), and what the room is (bedroom / living room / study etc.), I can give you a custom estimate for your room.
