This guide pulls together the ranges published in 2026 Bangalore cost guides and the rates behind our own interior cost calculator, so you can set a realistic budget before you speak to anyone.

What a complete home interior includes

  • 3D design of every room on your floor plan
  • Modular kitchen and, often, a utility unit
  • Wardrobes with lofts in every bedroom
  • TV unit, crockery unit, shoe rack and pooja unit
  • False ceilings with lighting
  • Painting, electrical changes and site supervision

Loose furniture, appliances, curtains and décor are usually extra. When you compare quotes, check that each one covers the same list; our guide to comparing interior quotations shows how.

Getting a real figure for your home

Start with the interior cost calculator for a room-wise range in two minutes. Then share your floor plan: we discuss what you need, visit to measure, and give a written, itemised quotation with the board, finish and hardware for each unit. ModScale builds all joinery in BWP plywood.

Ask every designer whether their quote includes GST, false ceilings, painting and electrical work. Two quotes for the “same” 3BHK can differ by lakhs only because one leaves these out.
