Every home is different, so a fair interior budget can only be worked out after understanding your space and choices. What we can explain is what drives the cost, so you can plan wisely.
1. Scope of work
Full-home interiors, a few rooms, or only a modular kitchen and wardrobes? Scope is the biggest factor.
2. Size and layout
Larger homes need more material and labour, but layout matters too. Rooms with many corners, niches or high ceilings need more custom work.
3. Board and material grades
Plywood and board grades, especially moisture-resistant and marine-grade options suited to coastal Vizag, vary a lot in price and lifespan.
4. Finishes
Laminates, acrylic, lacquered glass, veneers and PU finishes each have different costs and looks.
5. Hardware
Soft-close hinges, drawer channels, organisers and handles from premium brands cost more but make daily use smoother for years.
6. False ceilings and lighting
Simple ceilings with a few lights cost far less than layered designs with coves, profile lights and decorative fixtures.
7. Civil and services work
Breaking walls, re-tiling, rewiring or re-plumbing adds cost, which is common in renovations.
8. Furniture and décor
Custom furniture, loose furniture, curtains and décor can be included or added later.
9. Timeline
Very tight deadlines may need extra teams or working hours.
How to plan your budget
- Decide your must-haves and nice-to-haves
- Spend on what you touch daily: kitchen, wardrobes and hardware
- Choose materials suited to the climate, so they last
- Ask for an itemised BOQ so you can adjust line by line
- Keep a small contingency for changes
