Owning a home in the dream city of Mumbai can indeed be exciting, but at the same time, it can be overwhelming. For example, setting a fixed budget for your 2BHK interior design cost; it’s nothing you can google. With so many factors to consider while sprucing up your home, you might be confused and even disheartened. But fear not, we’re breaking it down for you so you can ease your mind and dwell in the feeling of owning your dream home.
What’s Your 2BHK Interior Design Cost Going to Be?
It’s requisite to set a budget while planning the interior design of your 2BHK, so you can limit how much you’re willing to spend and what you can afford within that limit. Not setting a budget means you could miss out on something you want, and we don’t want that to happen to you!
While it can be very difficult to give exact numbers, what we can give you is a rough breakdown of the costs, depending on the following principal factors:
Locality
It’s also a given that the area you reside in makes all the difference. So whileFor example, owning a home in a posh locality like Bandra, Juhu, or South Mumbai can have higher interior design costs, owning a home in Kandivali or Andheri can be comparatively cheaper.
This is because the real estate costs are higher in the posh localities, meaning interior designers charge more for interior decor in these areas. You’ll also probably want more lavish interiors to match up with the posh locality.
Your Vision
When you envision your 2BHK, do you expect a primary home with all the requisites or a lavish abode that speaks luxury? Your vision makes all the difference!
If you’re looking at a more luxurious space, your interior costs will naturally be much higher - as almost every element you incorporate will be more expensive.
For example, for your luxury abode, you’d probably want to include a home theatre system, a bar, and even exquisite chandeliers or other such upholstery.
On the other hand, for an essential home, your interior costs will be much cheaper, as you’re just looking to install the requisites that ease basic living, such as a dining table, sofas, and a large enough TV in the living room.
New vs. Old
Are you renovating your old space, or are you buying a new house altogether? The interior design costs for renovating your home are more likely to be higher, as before you change the furniture and upholstery, you might need to demolish a wall or two.
It’s also expected that your essential home functions like the plumbing and electricity will be renewed with older properties.
Materials Used
The quality of materials you use will determine the costs of your furniture. Higher quality materials mean higher prices. If you’re looking to customise your furniture rather than buying ready-made ones, that will turn out even more expensive.
While custom-made furniture can be more expensive, they’re also much more durable and long-lasting - and strictly catered to your tastes! It’s a likely scenario that although the ready-made furniture might be oh-so-appealing, they won’t fit right according to what you truly desire. The costs will vary according to what kind of wood and finishing you’re using in custom-made furniture.
Additionally, the cost of upholstery like your cushions, carpets, and bed covers will vary depending on the quality of the material used. Silk will inevitably cost higher.
The type of flooring, the paints, and any other additional factors will affect the costs. For example, a false ceiling, a grand chandelier, and something as simple as a room divider could incur higher charges.
Size
Last but not least, it’s a given that the bigger your home, the bigger the expenses. Then again, since interior cost varies according to many factors, the exact prices of your 2BHK interior cannot be stated.
But if you go by estimates per square foot of your 2BHK home, it could be anywhere between Rs. 1,000 and Rs 1,500 - but this will vary according to the above factors.
