What affects the 2BHK interior design costs?
Firstly, let’s begin by acknowledging that no one can give you a definitive interior design cost for 2BHK because no two homes or homeowners are alike. However, we can help you understand how each of the following elements contributes to the final 2BHK interior cost. In general, the industry thumb rule is to budget for at least 10 to 15% of the cost of your property. This can be higher depending upon your requirements.
#1: Size
- The cost of interior design can go up when a wider area is covered

#2: Scope of design
- End-to-end interiors, including civil work, electricals, plumbing, etc., will cost more
- If your scope is only wardrobes, kitchen and storage, the interior design cost for 2BHK will be lower
#3: Renovation vs new property
- Interior design cost for a renovated home will usually be higher than a new one if all other factors are kept constant
- Renovation – Includes demolition costs, civil changes, faulty plumbing changes, electrical work, flooring
- Maximum damage to an old home occurs due to water seepage and leaky plumbing, which can make bathroom renovation mandatory, which pushes up the cost
#4: Materials
- Type of finishes and materials of shutters and carcasses will affect the cost of a 2BHK interior design
- Acrylic is usually expensive but low-maintenance
- Laminate is usually affordable and sturdy
- The membrane has a seamless finish but can require maintenance
#5: Designer’s fees
- Interior design cost for 2BHK at Livspace includes the designer’s fees and is not charged separately. We aim to give you complete transparency in our pricing and we have no hidden charges
- In comparison, market rates can be vague and can shoot up by 45% from first quote to final cost. Also, most interior designers in the market have their way of computing interior design costs which can be confusing and misleading
#6: Locality
- A 2BHK flat’s interior design cost also depends upon the city and locality
- The interior design of a 2BHK in an expensive locality can cost more
- When it comes to the cost of products, services, raw materials and labour, there is a difference of 5% to 15% across different locations
#7: Design preferences
- Your preferred interior design style and complexity of design will affect the 2BHK interior design cost
- Scandinavian style, which uses a lot of wood in the interiors, can cost more than a simpler style
While budgeting for a 2BHK home interior, the homeowner should list down the basic necessary furniture and decor that is required, like, a kitchen, wardrobes, storage, beds, sofas and curtains. The actual interior design price list will be derived from this including basic finishes and core materials. Once the initial costing is derived, if there is any difference from the budget set by the homeowner, components of interior design can be added or reduced.

I am really happy with Livspace’s service, they did timely follow-ups, and they really took the ownership.

Overall, it was a nice experience, it sounds a little expensive but it was totally worth it.
