How much to design a room?

The cost to design a single room depends on the size, style, materials, and the level of customization you want. Here’s a detailed breakdown:


1. Pricing Based on Design Approach

  1. Consultation-Only (DIY Guidance)
    • Designer provides layout, color scheme, and suggestions for furniture/decor.
    • Cost: ₹5,000 – ₹15,000 per room.
  2. Partial Interior Design
    • Designer manages key elements such as furniture, lighting, and decor, but some tasks (like painting or flooring) are DIY.
    • Cost: ₹25,000 – ₹1,00,000 per room.
  3. Full-Service Interior Design
    • Complete design including layout, furniture, lighting, storage solutions, decor, and supervision of installation.
    • Cost: ₹50,000 – ₹5,00,000 per room depending on materials and style.

2. Factors Influencing Room Design Costs

  1. Room Type
    • Bedroom: ₹30,000 – ₹2,00,000
    • Living Room: ₹50,000 – ₹3,00,000
    • Kitchen: ₹1,50,000 – ₹10,00,000 (if including cabinets and appliances)
    • Bathroom: ₹50,000 – ₹3,00,000
  2. Design Style
    • Minimalist or Scandinavian: Moderate cost
    • Luxury, Contemporary, or Custom styles: Higher cost
  3. Materials and Finishes
    • Standard laminate, basic lighting, and mass-produced furniture: Budget-friendly
    • Marble, quartz, hardwood, or designer lighting: Expensive
  4. Designer’s Experience
    • Freelancers or junior designers: Lower rates
    • Established firms or high-profile designers: Premium rates

3. Tips to Manage Costs

  • Define your budget per room before consulting a designer.
  • Prioritize key features like storage, lighting, or flooring to invest more wisely.
  • Use modular furniture or off-the-shelf decor items for cost-effective solutions.
  • Request detailed quotes including labor, materials, and design fees.
