Great that you’re asking this 👍 — because most people in Delhi NCR focus on carpentry and modular work, and forget to budget separately for décor & furnishings. In reality, these elements (curtains, rugs, lights, art, accessories, cushions, bedding) are what give your home its finished luxury feel.

✅ Typical Décor & Furnishing Budget

Table of Contents

🔹 Apartments (2BHK / 3BHK Premium)

Curtains & Blinds → ₹2L – ₹5L
Rugs & Carpets → ₹1L – ₹4L
Lighting (chandeliers, sconces, lamps) → ₹2L – ₹6L
Cushions, Throws, Bedding → ₹80k – ₹2L
Art, Mirrors, Accessories → ₹1L – ₹3L
👉 Total: ₹6L – ₹15L

🔹 Luxury Villas / Penthouses

Curtains & Blinds → ₹6L – ₹15L
Rugs (Jaipur Rugs, Obeetee, imported) → ₹3L – ₹12L
Designer Lighting (Flos, Moooi, Klove) → ₹5L – ₹15L
Accessories (Good Earth, bespoke sculptures, vases) → ₹3L – ₹10L+
👉 Total: ₹20L – ₹50L+

🔹 Rule of Thumb

Mid-range homes: Décor & furnishings = 15–20% of total interior budget.
Luxury homes: Décor & furnishings = 25–35% of total budget.
👉 Example: If interiors = ₹1 Cr → keep aside ₹25L – ₹35L just for décor & styling.

💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer

Do you prepare a separate décor & furnishing budget sheet?
Do you source from Delhi markets (Kirti Nagar, Banjara, Bhagirath Palace) and luxury brands (Good Earth, Jaipur Rugs, Versace, Arte)?
Can you mix luxury statement pieces with affordable accessories to balance costs?
Do you provide final styling & accessorizing at handover?
Do you pass on vendor discounts or keep them?

⚠️ Red Flags

Designer ignores décor & furnishings in BOQ 🚩 → you’ll overspend later.
Pushes only imported brands → budget shoots up unnecessarily.
No final styling session → house looks incomplete at handover.

✅ Pro Tip

Splurge on 1–2 statement pieces (luxury rug, chandelier, artwork).
Balance with mid-range cushions, curtains, accessories.
For Delhi NCR, mix sources: Jaipur Rugs + Good Earth + Banjara Market → luxury + value.

👉 Do you want me to create a Décor & Furnishings Budget Planner (Excel) with line items (curtains, rugs, lights, art, accessories, cushions) so you can track spends room by room and avoid last-minute shocks?
