The home interior design process — start to handover

Week 1: Free site visit + scope conversation. Senior designer photographs every room, takes laser measurements, asks about your family routine (cooking style, work-from-home, kids, pets, in-laws, grandparents living with you), preferred aesthetic (modern Indian, minimalist, traditional, hotel-style), and budget range. 48 hours later you receive a written itemised quote with brand specs.

Week 2-3: Design freeze + contract. 3D walkthrough rendered for every room (2-3 revisions included), material samples (plywood, hardware, counter, fabric, paint) hand-delivered for sign-off. Contract signed with: 30% advance + 40% on material delivery + 25% on installation + 5% on handover. 10-year warranty card text reviewed and signed.

Week 4-9: Material procurement + installation. Marine ply, shutters, hardware procured in 12-18 days. On-site installation runs 28-42 days for typical 2 BHK, 42-65 for 3-4 BHK. Project manager visits site daily, sends photo updates. You visit on weekends; no need to be present during weekday work.

Week 10: Handover + warranty. Walk-through with project manager — every drawer/hinge/light tested. Brand invoices handed over. 10-year warranty card signed. Final 5% paid after your sign-off. Designer's emergency contact saved to your phone for any future warranty claims.

Hidden costs in home interior design — what to budget extra

Three line items frequently missing from headline 2 BHK interior quotes (₹3.99 L type) that you'll be asked to pay extra for during execution. One: civil patch-up — removing existing wardrobes, plugging old electrical points, fixing wall plaster damage, AC drilling. Realistic cost ₹15-65k for a resale flat or older home. New flats need less (₹5-15k).

Two: appliance integration cutouts — hob cutout, chimney duct routing, microwave panel slot, oven cabinet, dishwasher plumbing. Realistic cost ₹8-25k of labour, plus the appliance cost itself if you're not bringing existing ones. Three: soft furnishings — curtain rods, curtains, rugs, cushions, bed linen. Realistic cost ₹35-95k for a 2 BHK; we offer this as an add-on package.

Our quote format explicitly lists 'included' vs 'excluded' items so there's no surprise. Excluded by default in our basic tier: structural civil work, premium appliances (fridge, AC, washing machine, dishwasher, oven), imported tile flooring, smart-home IoT systems, curtains + soft furnishings (unless add-on selected). Each is quoted separately on request — no surprise during execution.

★★★★★

"We compared four Chennai vendors. Homeli was the only one to send a written quote in 48 hours with actual brand names — Hettich, Hafele, IS:710 ply. No vague 'imported hardware' lines. Final price was within ₹8,000 of the quote."

"The senior designer came on a Saturday morning, measured everything in 90 minutes, sent a 3D walkthrough by Tuesday. Project finished in 47 days — they gave a written 60-day guarantee so I knew the timeline was real."

★★★★★

"For a 1,800 sqft Adyar house renovation, we got quotes from ₹6.8 L to ₹14 L. Homeli explained where each rupee was going — marine ply, Blum hardware, quartz counter. Picked the ₹9.2 L tier. 4 months in, zero issues."

Frequently asked

What is home interior design?
Home interior design is the full-scope transformation of a home — modular kitchen, wardrobes, false ceiling, painting, electrical, lighting, decor accessories. Usually includes 3D planning, project management, material sourcing, on-site supervision, and warranty paperwork. For Chennai homes, turnkey home interior design covers everything from empty flat handover to move-in-ready state.
How much does home interior design cost in Chennai?
Chennai home interior design 2026 pricing: 1 BHK ₹2.49-4.99 L, 2 BHK ₹3.99-7.99 L, 3 BHK ₹5.99-12.5 L, 4 BHK ₹8.99-19.8 L. Per-sqft pricing: ₹440-908/sqft depending on tier. Includes turnkey scope: kitchen + wardrobes + ceiling + paint + electrical + civil + design + supervision + 10-year warranty.
How long does home interior design take?
Total timeline: site visit + quote 2-3 days, contract + design 5-7 days, material procurement 12-18 days, installation 28-65 days depending on home size. Total 55-90 days for 2 BHK, 75-120 days for 3-4 BHK. 60-day completion guarantee with daily delay penalty for 2 BHK turnkey.
Can I get home interior design with a tight budget?
Yes — our basic tier ₹2.49 L (1 BHK) and ₹3.99 L (2 BHK) is genuinely the lowest cost defensible quality. Goes lower only by compromising plywood grade or hardware brand — we won't do that. For tighter budgets: phased delivery (kitchen first, wardrobes in 6 months), partial scope (kitchen + wardrobes only, skip ceiling), or refresh package (polish + hardware + paint without full rebuild).
Do you provide 3D walkthrough before I commit?
Yes — free 3D walkthrough of every room as part of standard design phase. We use Lumion or D5 Render for photorealistic walkthroughs. 2-3 revisions included; additional revisions ₹2,500-5,000 each. You see exactly how the kitchen, wardrobes, false ceiling and accent walls will look before signing the contract.
What's included in 10-year warranty?
Covers: panel failure, joint separation, drawer slide failure, hinge failure, soft-close mechanism failure, shutter alignment, polish/paint peeling under normal use, plywood swelling, false ceiling sagging, electrical points wiring. Hardware brand warranties (Hettich/Hafele/Blum: 7-10 years; LED: 3-5 years) carry separately. Excludes accidental damage, water-leak damage from external sources, consumables.
Do I need to vacate my home during interior work?
For new flats — no (you're not living there yet). For resale flats or ongoing-occupation projects: phased execution available — we work in zoned phases (finish one bedroom completely before starting the next), use dust-extraction vacuums, restrict noisy work to 10am-6pm only, provide temporary furniture storage. You can stay in the flat throughout; ~60% of our renovation clients do.
