A 1BHK is often a first home or a flat bought to rent out, so the budget matters. This guide brings together published 2026 cost ranges for 1BHK interiors, explains what a typical budget covers, and shows where the money goes.
Published 2026 ranges
- Housiey’s 2026 interior budgeting guide (national averages) puts complete 1BHK interiors at about ₹5 lakh to ₹8 lakh, with the kitchen at roughly ₹1.2 lakh to ₹2 lakh of that.
- Tint Tone and Shade’s Bangalore cost guide (July 2026) says a 1BHK may start from about ₹5 lakh, and that a basic setup with wardrobes and a modular kitchen can start from about ₹3 lakh.
Figures above are published industry ranges, not ModScale quotations. They exclude GST unless stated. Your cost depends on scope, materials and finishes.
What a 1BHK budget usually covers
- A modular kitchen with loft storage.
- A full-height bedroom wardrobe, often sliding to save space.
- A TV unit and foyer or shoe storage.
- Lighting, and a simple false ceiling in the living room if the budget allows.
What drives the cost
Running feet of joinery, board grade (we use BWP plywood), finishes such as laminate or acrylic, hardware, ceilings and lighting. See what drives interior cost and try our interior cost calculator.
Making a 1BHK work
Storage to the ceiling, a bed with storage, a wardrobe that doubles as a study and a light palette all make a small home feel larger. See 1BHK interior design and our 1BHK designs at The Prestige City.
