Bedroom interiors cost in India: bed, wardrobe and more (2026)
Design IRL Editorial · Figures checked 7 November 2026 · For owners doing up one bedroom, or planning each bedroom in a new flat · How we make our guides
Doing up a 150 sq ft master bedroom in a metro city in India costs about ₹1.6–2.6 lakh at essential level and ₹2.4–3.9 lakh at premium, before GST. The wardrobe is the biggest single cost, often a third or more of the room. Plan it first and the room follows.
What drives the cost
- Wardrobe size and finish: priced per sq ft of front, so an 8 ft wardrobe costs about a third more than a 6 ft one.
- The bed: a plain bed, one with box storage, or one with hydraulic lift-up storage and an upholstered headboard.
- Extra units: bedside tables, a dresser, a study table or a wall panel behind the bed.
- False ceiling and lighting: a plain border ceiling with a few downlights, or layered ceilings with cove lights.
- Curtains: ready-made, made to measure, or blackout with blinds.
- Paint: plain emulsion, or a feature wall in texture or wallpaper.
What each item roughly costs
For a master bedroom of about 150 sq ft with a 7×7 ft wardrobe and a 2 ft loft, in a metro, before GST.
| Item | Essential | Premium | Luxury |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wardrobe 7×7 ft with loft | ₹60,000–1,00,000 (laminate) | ₹90,000–1,45,000 (acrylic) | ₹1.3–2.3 lakh (PU) |
| Bed with headboard | ₹35,000–50,000 | ₹50,000–80,000 | ₹80,000–1,20,000 |
| Bedside tables, pair | ₹8,000–12,000 | ₹12,000–18,000 | ₹18,000–25,000 |
| Dresser or study table | ₹15,000–25,000 | ₹25,000–40,000 | ₹40,000–60,000 |
| False ceiling and lights | ₹23,000–35,000 | ₹35,000–50,000 | ₹50,000–70,000 |
| Curtains or blinds | ₹10,000–18,000 | ₹18,000–28,000 | ₹28,000–40,000 |
| Paint or wallpaper | ₹10,000–15,000 | ₹15,000–25,000 | ₹25,000–35,000 |
| Room total | ₹1.6–2.6 lakh | ₹2.4–3.9 lakh | ₹3.7–5.8 lakh |
Published room totals agree. One interiors company puts each bedroom in a 3 BHK at ₹1.5–2 lakh for essentials, ₹2.5–3.2 lakh premium and ₹3.5–4.5 lakh luxe. Another puts a budget bedroom at ₹1.5–3 lakh and mid-range at ₹3–6 lakh.
Sliding doors add more
Sliding doors on a 7×7 ft wardrobe add about ₹16,800: ₹200 per sq ft of front plus about ₹1,000 per ft of width for a soft-close track. They are worth it where the bed is close to the wardrobe.
Master, kids' and guest bedrooms
| Room | What it usually needs | Rough essential cost |
|---|---|---|
| Master | Full-wall wardrobe with loft, storage bed, bedside tables, dresser, ceiling, lights, curtains | ₹1.6–2.6 lakh |
| Kids' | 5–6 ft wardrobe, single or bunk bed, a study unit with shelves, task lighting, washable paint | ₹1.4–2.3 lakh |
| Guest | 6 ft wardrobe with loft, a bed, bedside tables, curtains and paint; often no false ceiling | ₹1.1–1.8 lakh |
Kids' rooms change every few years, so keep the fixed woodwork simple and spend on a good study table and storage. A guest room is the easiest place to save: a modest wardrobe and a good mattress do most of the work.
Worked example: a master bedroom in Pune
Say a 150 sq ft master bedroom in Pune at premium level, with an 8×7 ft sliding wardrobe in acrylic on HDHMR boxes, and a 2 ft loft.
| Item | Working | Typical ₹ |
|---|---|---|
| Wardrobe | 56 sq ft × ₹2,000 | ₹1,12,000 |
| Sliding doors and track | 56 × ₹200 + 8 ft × ₹1,000 | ₹19,200 |
| Loft | 8 × 2 ft × ₹800 | ₹12,800 |
| Bed with storage and headboard | ₹65,000 | |
| Bedside tables, pair | ₹15,000 | |
| Dresser | ₹30,000 | |
| False ceiling and lights | ₹42,000 | |
| Curtains | ₹22,000 | |
| Paint, with one feature wall | ₹20,000 | |
| Total before GST | ₹3,38,000 |
A local carpenter could bring the woodwork lines down by roughly 20%. Moving the wardrobe to laminate would save about ₹36,400 on the wardrobe alone.
Do it in this order
- Fix the bed wall and wardrobe wall, and plan switch, light, AC and charging points around them.
- Electrical points and AC piping.
- False ceiling, after the AC and wiring are in.
- Wardrobe and other units: made in a factory, then fitted.
- Final coat of paint or wallpaper.
- Bed, bedside tables, curtains and decor.
Put bedside switches and charging points on both sides of the bed, at about the height of the bedside tables. Moving them after the wall is painted means chasing and patching.
Mistakes to avoid
- A wardrobe on a wall next to a bathroom in MDF or particle board. Use BWP plywood where damp can get in.
- A storage bed with cheap hydraulics. Lift it in the showroom and check the warranty on the pistons.
- Too little hanging space. Ask for a drawing of the inside with shelf, drawer and hanging heights.
- A dark, heavy ceiling in a small room. A simple border ceiling with a few lights is often enough.
- Leaving curtains to the end. Rods and tracks need fixing before the final coat of paint.
Before you sign
Check board grade, edge banding, hinge and channel brand, and warranty. Compare quotes for the same written scope, add 18% GST, and keep a 10% cushion. Figures here are approximate and vary by city and vendor.
Who to hire
An interior designer or a modular furniture maker usually handles the wardrobe, bed and other units together. Beds, mattresses and side tables can also come from a furniture showroom. A contractor handles the ceiling, electrical points and paint if the designer doesn't.
