The maximum city of India has so much to offer—opportunities, growth, independence—but space isn’t one of them. Tiny, cramped flats with exorbitant rents are the norm in Mumbai.

However, as long as you have a budget plan in place, expert designers like Livspace can help you get your dream home. And this interior design cost in Mumbai guide will give you estimated costs of flats of different configurations (1BHK, 2BHK and 3BHK) to help you budget. In addition, we also have some amazing space-saving tips for you!
Why Are Real Estate Prices Higher in Mumbai As Compared to Other Cities?
If you have ever lived in Mumbai, you would know that being charged a monthly rent of ₹25,000 for a basic, tiny 1BHK is quite normal. Real estate costs in the “maximum city” are increasing day by day. Here are a few reasons why that’s the case:
- Being the economic hub of India, there are more people here than the space available. This rise in demand has resulted in a subsequent increase in real estate cost
- The infrastructure is poor, as a result of which homeowners are willing to pay a premium based on location and requirements
- Policy issues also add to this problem of exorbitant real estate costs
