Interior Budget Breakdown for a 3 BHK
Think in packages, not rooms
Interiors are easier to budget as four packages: fixed joinery, finishes, electrical and lighting, and loose furnishing. Most overruns happen because loose furnishing was never budgeted at all.
Typical split
| Package | Share of budget |
|---|---|
| Kitchen + wardrobes (fixed joinery) | 35–45% |
| Wall, ceiling and floor finishes | 15–20% |
| Electrical, lighting, automation | 10–15% |
| TV unit, crockery, study, pooja | 10–15% |
| Loose furniture, curtains, mattresses, decor | 15–20% |
Three realistic levels for a 1,500–1,700 sqft 3 BHK
- Essential — modular kitchen, three wardrobes, TV unit, basic false ceiling, lighting and paint. Everything functional, nothing decorative.
- Comfortable — better hardware and finishes, study, pooja unit, layered lighting, wallpaper or texture in two rooms, curtains included.
- Premium — veneer and acrylic finishes, full lighting design, automation, custom furniture, imported hardware.
Spend here first
- Kitchen hardware — hinges and channels you touch fifty times a day.
- Waterproof carcass material in kitchen and utility.
- Electrical layout and lighting circuits — expensive to change later.
- Wardrobe internals: drawers, pull-outs, mirror unit.
Save here safely
Decorative ceilings, feature walls, accent furniture and decor. All can be added in year two without disturbing anything.
