Interior Design Buying Guide

From Budget-Friendly to Luxe Makeovers: Complete Guide to Interior Design Costs in Mumbai!

By - February 18, 2025

As a new homeowner in Mumbai, you’ve probably pored over the pages of glossy interior design magazines, and created your own Pinterest board with the interior images you like. Now comes the hard part—translating your home décor vision into reality! Understanding interior design costs in Mumbai could prove to be very confusing indeed—especially if you’re doing it for the first time, and even more so if you’re working on a budget!

To help you get started, we’ve created the complete guide to home interior design costs in Mumbai. We’ll pull back the curtain on how pricing can vary based on the scope of work and the interior theme you choose. So read on, and plan your dream home interior with confidence!

What are the Factors that Affect Home Interior Design Costs?

Your home interior design costs depend on these key factors:

  • Materials and Finishes: Choosing high quality materials and premium finishes will dial up the overall budget. For instance, marine-grade plywood costs more than particle-board, while membrane and acrylic finishes are pricier than laminates.
  • Square Footage: The carpet area of your home will impact the total estimate. The larger your home, quite obviously the more it will cost!
  • Décor Theme: The theme and style of your décor will affect the pricing, too. Typically, classical styles with more intricate workmanship and detailing come with a hefty price tag, while minimalist interiors with pared-down details will be much more cost-effective.
  • The Scope of the Project: The extent of work you are looking to do will influence the price as well. For instance, if you need structural renovation (walls removed, new floors put in and so on) the cost will go up. Again, if you’re doing up just one room, you can keep costs low; but if you’re looking to do up the whole house then it will come at a higher cost.

To get a rough idea of costs, you can use HomeLane’s user-friendly Cost Calculator tool.

Range of Interior Design Costs in Mumbai

At HomeLane, we offer home interior packages across three price points: Essential, Comfort and Premium. Here’s the lowdown on each:

Essential Home Interiors: Designed for rental homes, this package includes functional designs, sturdy materials and basic finishes, built to last while being budget-friendly. This range starts at INR 3.4 lakhs, and includes the kitchen, two wardrobes and a TV unit.

Comfort Home Interiors: The most popular package, comfort interiors come with semi-premium materials and modern designs. You can expect to pay a starting price of INR 4.8 lakh for a 2 BHK home, which includes the cost of the kitchen, two wardrobes and a TV unit.

Doing Up Just the Kitchen? Here’s How to Calculate the Interior Design Cost!

Looking to do up just the kitchen for now? Check out HomeLane’s Modular Kitchen Cost Calculator for an instant estimate!

Very simple to use, this tool requires you to key in a few basic details: starting with your home configuration, the city you’re in, and the shape of your kitchen. Add details of the size and square footage, choose your accessories, and pick the materials you would like. You’ll get a rough estimate in real time, and the tool allows you to tweak the inputs to figure out how you can arrive at your preferred price point.

As a rough and ready reckoner, an L-shaped modular kitchen of size 10 feet by 8 feet comes with a starting price of around INR 1.98 lakh in Mumbai. This cost includes basic accessories such as a detergent holder, bottle pull-out, tandem drawers, and a cutlery, cup and saucer and thali trays.

Interior Design Tips for Budget-Friendly Design

Worried about interior design costs draining your wallet? Here are some tried-and-tested strategies that will help keep costs low!

First, plan smart. Prioritise areas that need your immediate attention, and plan to do the rest of the home later. High-traffic areas like the kitchen and living room can be completed in Phase 1, while bedrooms could be pushed back to Phase 2. This way, you will not have to compromise on quality over affordability.

Next, choose materials with care. Use premium materials and finishes for focal pieces, and opt for low-cost options in low-impact areas. Choose options that look like they are more expensive than they actually are; like laminated wooden floors instead of real hardwood.

It also makes better financial sense to work with your existing design instead of attempting a total makeover. For instance, moving around plumbing or electrical points can cost an arm and a leg, so keep them where they are and design around them.

Multifunctional furniture could be your best friend! Look for ottoman storage, add drawers beneath the bed to add valuable storage space, and shop for sofa-cum-beds, especially in apartments with limited square footage.

You can always negotiate the best deal with your designer, who will make sure that you get the best value for your spend! They will leverage their expertise to craft smart designs, creating stunning visuals through clever planning and thoughtful material selections.
