Whether you are thinking of renovating or of getting a new interior, there is always the question of how much work you should get done. While you can look through our galleries and become certain of your taste, style and requirements, we have a feeling that will help even more is to be able to predict the range of your living room interior design cost. How can you do that? To put it simply, the cost of your hall interior design depends on the amount of work you get done, and the amount of work is relative to the area of your living room. 

The area of your living room can dictate how much floor space your furniture can occupy in the room. Moreover, when you’re getting your living room interior design done, you are most likely to do up your dining area as well. This leads us to our next determining factor — the layout of your living and dining rooms. But don’t worry, this is not as exhausting as it sounds. Here’s a simple style guide and cost reference that can make things easier for you. You might want a minimal look or a colourful living room, in either case, it is important to know the area to figure out the cost.

Before we begin, you need to know that the typical house area/layout and the common taste of our clients varies from city to city. So we have categorised our living rooms to define styles and requirements of four such major cities — Bengaluru, Mumbai, Gurgaon (or all of NCR) and Hyderabad. Let’s get started then.

Bengaluru Homes — Living Room Interior Design Cost 

There are certain characteristics common to most living room interior design projects in Bengaluru. For example, the use of neutral and natural surfaces and the dominance of practicality or functionality in design. And according to our designer Aishwarya DN, there is also a prevalent mid-century theme that Bengalorians prefer when it comes to hall interior design. 

Large Living Rooms (Around 300 sq. ft.)

Commonly, large living rooms in Bengaluru are around 300 sq. ft. in area, including the dining rooms. And the advantage with such comfortable living room interior design is that apart from the area and the layout of your hall, you can afford to consider your lifestyle and your typical usage behaviour when you think of the living room interior design. 

Given the area, you can choose to either get minimum storage space designed for your living room, or you can get full living room interior design done (includes loose furniture like sofa, coffee table, dining table, as well as ceiling, lighting and flooring designs).

Most homeowners with small-sized living rooms also tend to invest on their specific needs dictated by their lifestyle. So apart from the typical design that is best for their living room area and layout, they are known to carve out such distinct spaces. If you don’t have any such requirements and want a simple and basic living room interior design, then the starting range would be ₹3 lakh (not including demolition costs in case of renovations).

Compact living rooms are typical to flats and apartments. The common 150 sq. ft. area accounts even for the dining room in such flats. Due to the area, there are many other problems that present themselves for such a living room interior design. For example, the problem of storage and privacy. And since most homeowners in Bengaluru want pooja units, our designers make use of clever solutions to tackle these.

Mumbai Homes — Living Room Interior Design Cost

Mumbai is known for serious space limitations when it comes to apartments. Therefore, the term compact can have a different implication here. Regardless of the size of the homes, it is usual for the homeowners to ask for a fully furnished hall interior design with lots of storage units. So our prices will reflect this pattern of demand and they are also not inclusive of demolition charges in case of renovation. 

Large Living Rooms (Around 300 sq. ft.)

When Mumbai apartments are spacious, then apart from storage, homeowners find the need to have proper lighting in their living rooms. This means the living rooms are generally finished in lighter shades, bright details and layered lighting. In a large living room interior design, there is also the demand for an informal living room where the family can enjoy some privacy. So typically, these living rooms will also have a partition wall to demarcate formal and informal areas in it.

Keeping these necessities in mind, the minimum cost of a large living room interior design in Mumbai is ₹5 lakh (not including demolition costs in case of renovations). You can read more about this house here: This Home Design is Inspiration for Anyone Who Wants to Upgrade Their Rental Home.

Small Living Rooms (Around 200 sq. ft.)

Small living rooms in Mumbai, just like Bengaluru, are also design and lifestyle intensive. The storage requirement, however, in such a living room interior design increases as the size of bedrooms still remains small. Therefore, even though this living room is smaller in size, it is furnished with more storage units than large living rooms in Mumbai.
