For low-budget interior design in India, a rough benchmark is ₹ 50 to ₹ 500 per sq ft, depending on what’s included. (The Architects Diary)
Here’s what you might expect at different ends of that range:
| Rate (₹/sq ft) | Likely Included Scope | Limitations / Trade-offs |
|---|---|---|
| ₹ 50 – ₹ 100 | Basic layout, paint, minimal lighting, simple furniture | Little or no custom carpentry, fewer site visits, lower quality materials |
| ₹ 100 – ₹ 250 | Paint, flooring, basic wardrobe, lighting, moderate furnishings | Some modular or semi-custom work; limited designer supervision |
| ₹ 250 – ₹ 500 | Full interior with better materials, custom carpentry, more finishes, supervision | Mid-level finishes; exclusions on premium materials or luxury accessories |
If you tell me your city, area (sq ft or number of rooms) and how much you want done, I can pick a rate bracket for your project and compute a probable cost.
