For low-budget interior design, here’s a rough price list per square foot you can use as a guideline (India context). These are minimal / economy ranges — actual rates depend heavily on city, scope, and materials.
Sample Low-Budget Rates (₹ per sq ft)
| Tier / Scope | Estimated Rate | What it might cover (minimal) |
|---|---|---|
| ₹ 20 – ₹ 50 | very basic design / consultation only | layout, color scheme, minimal input |
| ₹ 50 – ₹ 100 | basic interior work | paint, lighting, minor finishes |
| ₹ 100 – ₹ 200 | modest interiors | flooring, modular furniture, simple cabinetry |
| ₹ 200 – ₹ 300 | better finishes | quality materials, some custom work, supervision |

If you tell me your city, size (sq ft / rooms), and how much work you plan (just design / full interiors / custom carpentry etc.), I can recommend a tailored per-sqft rate and estimate your project cost.
