What’s a Good Budget for Interior Decorating?

The budget for interior decorating varies based on location (Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon), home size, materials, and design preferences. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly makeover or a luxury transformation, here’s a breakdown of what to expect.


1. Interior Decorating Budget Categories

✔ Best for small apartments, rental homes, or DIY projects
✔ Focuses on basic furniture, paint, lighting, and decor
✔ Uses ready-made furniture from IKEA, Pepperfry, or Urban Ladder

📌 Best for: Studio apartments, 1BHK homes, or partial room makeovers


🔹 Mid-Range (₹3 Lakhs – ₹10 Lakhs)

✔ Suitable for 2BHK or 3BHK homes
✔ Includes custom furniture, modular kitchen, and premium lighting

2. Factors Affecting Interior Decorating Costs

Size of the Home – Larger homes require more materials & furniture
Quality of Materials – Veneer, marble, and teakwood cost more than MDF or laminate
Customization vs. Ready-Made – Custom furniture is costlier than store-bought pieces
Professional Fees – Hiring an interior designer adds 10-20% to the budget
Renovation Needs – Structural changes (like knocking down walls) increase costs


3. How to Plan an Interior Decorating Budget

Prioritize Essential Areas – Start with living rooms & bedrooms, then move to other spaces
Set a Spending Limit – Decide on a budget before selecting designs
Mix High & Low Elements – Combine expensive statement pieces with affordable decor
Plan for Hidden Costs – Extra charges may come from labor, transportation, and accessories

📌 Tip: Always get multiple quotations from designers and vendors to find the best deal.
