Question 1

What does an interior design consultant do?

Accepted Answer

An interior design consultant provides expert guidance to enhance residential and commercial spaces without directly executing the construction. At Arth Design, we develop layouts, 3D visualisations and detailed drawings while coordinating with contractors and consultants to ensure quality, functionality and design integrity throughout your project.

Question 2

What does an interior design process typically look like?

Accepted Answer

Our interior design process is collaborative and structured. It generally includes: 1. Briefing & Site Analysis; 2. Concept Development & Layout Planning; 3. Detailed Design & Drawings (interiors + façade); 4. Coordination with Allied Consultants (MEP, graphics, etc.); 5. Contractor & Vendor Selection; 6. Construction Administration & Site Reviews; 7. Handover; 8. Photoshoot & Project Documentation.

Question 3

What deliverables do I receive at each design stage?

Accepted Answer

We provide a structured set of deliverables, which may include: 1. Concept sketches and mood boards; 2. Floor plans, sections, elevations; 3. 3D renders and walkthroughs; 4. Detailed working drawings for contractors; 5. Material & finishes schedule; 6. Vendor, furniture and fixture recommendations; 7. Periodic site review reports. You’ll know exactly what you will receive at each milestone, which also ensures clarity on what is not included.

Question 4

How long does a typical interior design project take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary based on project size, design complexity and site conditions. Once we understand your brief, we share a customised project schedule outlining design, approvals and execution stages.

Question 5

When is the right time to hire an interior designer during a renovation or new build?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, hire an interior designer before construction begins. Early involvement allows us to plan layouts, coordinate MEP requirements and avoid costly rework later — ensuring a smoother build process.

Question 6

How much do interior designers charge in India?

Accepted Answer

Interior design fees in India depend on scope, size and level of detail. At Arth Design, our fees are project and timeline specific rather than per-square-foot, ensuring a transparent and fair structure based on your needs, scale and design complexity.

Question 7

What is an ideal budget for an interior project?

Accepted Answer

An ideal interior budget depends on your scope of work, space size, design complexity and level of customization. As a broad reference: 1. Furniture-only projects typically range from ₹750–₹3,000+ per sq.ft., depending on whether the goal is functional, luxury or bespoke furniture. 2. Complete interior projects — including furniture, finishes, lighting and detailing — generally start around ₹1,500–₹3,000 per sq.ft. for mid-range designs and can extend to ₹6,000+ per sq.ft. for premium or highly customised spaces. 3. When the scope includes façade and interior design, budgets naturally expand further, starting near ₹1,750 per sq.ft. and scaling up with material quality and construction complexity. At Arth Design, we tailor every project to your comfort and investment level, helping you make informed cost decisions without compromising on aesthetics or quality.

Question 8

How can I plan my interior budget effectively?

Accepted Answer

Start with a clear budget range and divide it into furniture, finishes, lighting and décor. Keep a 10–15% buffer for on-site variations. We guide you on where to invest and where to optimise, ensuring your space stays true to your vision — beautifully designed and financially balanced.

Question 9

How do you ensure the interior design remains within budget during execution?

Accepted Answer

We continuously monitor cost versus budget during execution through site and vendor cost reviews. If any deviations arise, we propose adjustments in materials, finishes or scope to realign the cost. Any major changes or upgrades are brought to you first for approval before proceeding.

Question 10

Can Arth Design work with my existing furniture, art, or accessories?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We often integrate existing furniture or cherished pieces into our designs — it adds character, emotion and authenticity to your interiors.

Question 11

Can clients participate in the selection of interior finishes and consultants?

Accepted Answer

Certainly. We encourage a collaborative design process where clients participate in selecting finishes, materials and consultants. We curate options that align with your vision and guide you toward the most cohesive choices.

Question 12

Can I use my own contractors, vendors or suppliers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are free to engage your preferred contractors or suppliers. We collaborate with them, reviewing proposals and supervising their work to ensure alignment with design decisions and specifications.
