For a low-budget home office, here’s a realistic estimate for design charges + what you should expect:
Typical Charge Ranges (India context)
| Level | Scope / Features | Approx Charge (₹ per sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Design / Styling Only | Layout, mood board, color scheme, furniture placement, decor guidance | ₹50 – ₹150 |
| Semi Execution / Light Work | Adds modular desk, shelves, lighting, basic materials, supervision | ₹150 – ₹300 |
| Basic Turnkey / Full Setup | Complete office interior: furniture, lighting, finishes, décor | ₹300 – ₹500+ |
Example Estimate
If your home office is ~ 120 sq ft:
- Design / Styling Only: ₹6,000 – ₹18,000
- Semi Execution: ₹18,000 – ₹36,000
- Basic Turnkey: ₹36,000 – ₹60,000+
Factors That Influence Cost
- Quality of furniture, materials, and finishes
- Custom vs modular furniture
- Complexity of lighting and electrical work
- Wall treatments (panels, wallpaper)
- Supervision, transport, and site visits
- Designer’s experience and premium
If you tell me your city / locality and size / dimensions of your home office, I can produce a more precise “low-budget design charge” estimate for your scenario.
