OMR interior cost FAQs

What is the average interior design cost per sqft in OMR, Chennai?

For 2026, the average in OMR ranges from ₹1,200 – ₹2,100 per sqft depending on finish grade. Basic (HDHMR + Hettich) starts at the lower end; premium (PU + Blum + designer lighting) hits the upper end. Most OMR 2-3 BHK customers pick mid-range at ~₹1,500-1,800 per sqft.

Why is my OMR interior quote so different from another firm's?

Two firms can quote ₹4 L and ₹10 L for the same 2 BHK — and both can be "honest". The difference is finish material (HDHMR vs PU), hardware (Indian vs Hettich/Hafele/Blum), plywood (MR vs marine BWP), lighting (panel vs designer), and whether civil/electrical/paint are included. Always demand an itemised quote.
