For a living room in a 2 BHK in Delhi NCR, under a low-budget scheme, here’s a reasonable cost estimate plus guidance.
Reference benchmarks
- In India, basic interior design services are often quoted from ₹50 to ₹500 per sq ft for simpler projects. (Interior Designers NCR)
- In Delhi, new / small designers sometimes charge ₹40 to ₹70 per sq ft for design work (excluding full execution). (DsignDpo)
- Livspace lists full home interior packages in Delhi starting from ₹5,20,000 for essentials in a 2 BHK. (Livspace India)
These inform the upper and lower bounds for your living room cost.
Estimate for living room only (low budget)
Let’s assume:
- Living room area = 200 to 300 sq ft (common in many 2 BHK flats)
- Low budget = limited custom joinery, use of modular / ready furniture, standard lighting, paint / wall finish, minimal structural work
| Scope | Rate (₹/sq ft) | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|
| Design + décor (layout, paint, furniture plan) | ₹40 to ₹100 | ₹8,000 to ₹30,000 |
| Basic interiors + modular furniture + finishes | ₹300 to ₹600 | ₹60,000 to ₹1,80,000 |
| Slight upgrade (custom cabinets, better finishes) | ₹600 to ₹900 | ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,70,000 |
If you tell me exact living room area (sq ft) and your budget ceiling, I can propose a precise target cost you should aim for.
