2 BHK · ₹10–15 lakh
1,000–1,300 sq ft: modular kitchen, wardrobes in both bedrooms, false ceiling in key rooms, upgraded electrical.
Hyderabad · Interior cost and BOQ
What Hyderabad interiors cost, and why quotations disagree.
Two contractors can look at the same 3BHK floor plan and return ₹12 lakh and ₹24 lakh. Neither is necessarily dishonest — they are describing different scopes with the same words. This page gives the published full home interiors cost ranges by home size and by item, then explains the specific omissions that create that gap, so you can tell which quotation is cheaper and which is merely shorter.
By home size, with the caveat that matters.
Most Hyderabad apartment interiors fall between ₹1,200 and ₹2,200 per sq ft. That figure is nearly useless until one question is answered.
Ask whether the rate is quoted on carpet area or built-up area. It is the single highest-leverage question in the whole conversation, because the same number means two different projects: a flat rate that looked like it would total ₹15 lakh on a 1,500 sq ft flat becomes a ₹22 lakh or ₹25 lakh quotation once it is applied to built-up area instead of carpet. Low advertised entry rates — complete home interiors at ₹1,100 per sq ft, premium modular woodwork from ₹1,200 — are typically quoting a narrower scope on a larger area than the buyer assumes. Within that band, a full 2BHK of roughly 1,000 to 1,300 sq ft lands at ₹10 to 15 lakh, covering a modular kitchen, wardrobes in both bedrooms, false ceiling in the key rooms and upgraded electrical work. A 3BHK of 1,300 to 1,500 sq ft runs ₹15 to 25 lakh across finish tiers: ₹12 to 16 lakh buys a laminate-finish straight or L-shaped kitchen, hinged wardrobes in three bedrooms, basic TV units and simple false ceilings, while ₹17 to 22 lakh moves up to an L-shaped or parallel kitchen in acrylic or PU, full wardrobes with lofts, a dedicated pooja unit and sliding doors in the master bedroom. Above that, a premium 3BHK of around 1,800 sq ft can be delivered within ₹25 lakh through disciplined material substitution, and from ₹30 lakh upward the specification stops being the constraint.
| Home | Typical area | Total range | Laminate tier | Acrylic / PU tier | Scope at the stated range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BHK | 1,000–1,300 sq ft | ₹10–15 lakh | not published separately | not published separately | Modular kitchen, wardrobes in both bedrooms, false ceiling in key rooms, upgraded electrical |
| 3 BHK | 1,300–1,500 sq ft | ₹15–25 lakh | ₹12–16 lakh | ₹17–22 lakh | Laminate tier: straight or L-shaped kitchen, hinged wardrobes in three bedrooms, basic TV units, simple false ceilings. Acrylic/PU tier adds lofts, a pooja unit and sliding doors in the master |
| Premium 3 BHK | ~1,800 sq ft | ₹25 lakh and above | — | — | Deliverable within ₹25 lakh through disciplined material substitution; above ₹30 lakh the specification is no longer the constraint |
Blanket per-sq-ft band: ₹1,200–₹2,200. That figure is unusable until you confirm whether it is quoted on carpet or built-up area — the same rate on built-up area turns a ₹15 lakh expectation on a 1,500 sq ft flat into ₹22–25 lakh.
3 BHK · ₹15–25 lakh
1,300–1,500 sq ft. ₹12–16 lakh at laminate tier; ₹17–22 lakh with acrylic or PU, lofts and a pooja unit.
Premium · ₹25 lakh and above
A premium 3BHK of ~1,800 sq ft within ₹25 lakh; above ₹30 lakh the specification is no longer the limit.
By item, tier by tier.
Home-size ranges are an average of decisions. These are the decisions.
A modular kitchen is priced by layout and tier rather than by room. A straight kitchen of 8 to 10 running feet runs ₹80,000 to ₹1,20,000 in laminate with wire baskets, ₹1,30,000 to ₹1,80,000 in BWR ply with acrylic and soft-close, and ₹1,90,000 to ₹2,50,000 in BWP ply with Tandem boxes and Blum hardware. An L-shaped kitchen — the most common layout in Hyderabad flats — runs ₹1,50,000 to ₹2,20,000 basic, ₹2,30,000 to ₹3,20,000 standard, and ₹3,30,000 to ₹4,50,000 premium with Hettich hardware. A parallel kitchen runs ₹1,80,000 to ₹2,50,000 through ₹3,90,000 to ₹5,50,000 at BWP marine ply with PU shutters and Blum Tandem. A U-shaped kitchen, common in villas and larger flats, runs ₹2,20,000 to ₹3,00,000 through ₹4,90,000 to ₹7,00,000 with glass shutters and corner accessories. Wardrobes are quoted per sq ft of shutter area — roughly ₹850 to ₹1,100 budget, ₹1,200 to ₹1,600 standard, ₹1,800 to ₹2,400 premium — which is why a quote for the same bedroom can read ₹40,000 from a local carpenter and over ₹2,00,000 from a turnkey brand. False ceilings run ₹90 to ₹120 per sq ft in gypsum board and ₹110 to ₹140 in POP, with putty, premium painting and LED strip lighting adding roughly ₹20,000 to ₹35,000. TV units begin near ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 for a wall-mounted floating console and pass ₹1,20,000 for a customised floor-to-ceiling wall. Material grade drives most of it: carcass board and shutter finish together account for close to 60% of a kitchen budget, and saving ₹20,000 on cheaper plywood or basic drawer channels reliably produces warped shutters and jammed drawers within a few monsoons.
One thing to be explicit about, because it will come up the moment you collect a second quotation: every figure above is AlcorOne's own execution rate as a contractor. Independent 2026 market surveys of Hyderabad interior pricing put brand and platform quotations for comparable specification materially higher — premium wardrobe work at ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 per sq ft against our ₹1,800 to ₹2,400, and turnkey work at ₹1,500 to ₹3,500 per sq ft rising to ₹4,000 in Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Gachibowli and HITEC City, against our ₹1,200 to ₹2,200. The same surveys record local carpenters quoting from ₹650 per sq ft. We sit deliberately between those two: a named specification and a documented process, without the marketing, showroom and platform-commission load that a national brand has to recover from the same project. None of which means a rate can be compared on its own — a lower number against an unnamed specification is not a saving, and a higher one is not a guarantee. Compare the line items, then compare the rates.
| Layout | Basic | Standard | Premium | What the premium tier specifies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Straight (8–10 rft) | ₹80,000–₹1,20,000 | ₹1,30,000–₹1,80,000 | ₹1,90,000–₹2,50,000 | BWP ply, Tandem boxes, Blum hardware (basic tier is laminate with wire baskets; standard is BWR ply, acrylic, soft-close) |
| L-shaped | ₹1,50,000–₹2,20,000 | ₹2,30,000–₹3,20,000 | ₹3,30,000–₹4,50,000 | Hettich hardware. Most common layout in Hyderabad flats |
| Parallel | ₹1,80,000–₹2,50,000 | not published | ₹3,90,000–₹5,50,000 | BWP marine ply, PU shutters, Blum Tandem |
| U-shaped | ₹2,20,000–₹3,00,000 | not published | ₹4,90,000–₹7,00,000 | Glass shutters and corner accessories. Common in villas and larger flats |
Carcass board and shutter finish together account for close to 60% of a kitchen budget. Saving ₹20,000 on cheaper plywood or basic drawer channels reliably produces warped shutters and jammed drawers within a few monsoons. Where a cell reads “not published”, we have not published a figure for that combination — ask for it against your own layout rather than interpolating between the tiers.
| Tier | Rate per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Budget | ₹850–₹1,100 |
| Standard | ₹1,200–₹1,600 |
| Premium | ₹1,800–₹2,400 |
Quoted on shutter area, not floor area — which is why the same bedroom can read ₹40,000 from a local carpenter and over ₹2,00,000 from a turnkey brand.
| Item | Rate | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Gypsum board false ceiling | ₹90–₹120 | per sq ft |
| POP false ceiling | ₹110–₹140 | per sq ft |

| TV unit — wall-mounted floating console | ₹15,000–₹25,000 | per unit |
| TV unit — customised floor-to-ceiling wall | ₹1,20,000 and above | per unit |

Reading two quotations against each other.
The gap between ₹12 lakh and ₹24 lakh for one floor plan is not usually margin. It is scope that one document declined to write down.
Comparison only works item by item. Ask each contractor to name the carcass board grade for every unit, the hardware brand and series for every drawer and sliding shutter, the shutter finish, loft heights, the count of electrical points, and — critically — whether painting, false ceiling, the pooja unit, wardrobes in the smallest bedroom and appliance cut-outs are inside or outside the number. Where those are unnamed, the cheaper quotation is not cheaper; it is shorter, and the balance arrives later as a variation once the work is too far along to retender. The costs that most often break a budget are the ones sitting between trades, so they belong to nobody: electrical rewiring and additional points, plumbing changes, waterproofing, painting after joinery is installed, loose furniture, curtains and blinds, appliance cut-outs, debris removal, and the association's refundable damage deposit. A budget can be entirely correct about the joinery and still overrun on that list. This is also why the payment schedule deserves as much attention as the total: milestone-based payments tied to delivered stages keep the two documents honest, because a stage that was never defined cannot be invoiced as complete.
Compare line items, not totals
Board grade, hardware series, shutter finish, loft heights and point counts named per unit — otherwise the two numbers describe different projects.
Name the exclusions
Painting, false ceiling, pooja unit, appliance cut-outs and the smallest bedroom's wardrobe are the usual silent omissions.
Budget the between-trades costs
Rewiring, plumbing changes, waterproofing, curtains, debris removal and the society deposit — the list that overruns an accurate joinery estimate.
Cost questions we answer daily.
What do home interiors cost per sq ft in Hyderabad?
Most Hyderabad apartment interiors fall between ₹1,200 and ₹2,200 per sq ft, with premium and luxury work at the top of that band and above it. The number is close to meaningless on its own until you confirm whether it is quoted on carpet or built-up area — the same rate applied to built-up area on a 1,500 sq ft flat can turn a ₹15 lakh expectation into a ₹22 to ₹25 lakh quotation.
What does a 2BHK interior cost in Hyderabad?
₹10 to 15 lakh covers a full 2BHK of roughly 1,000 to 1,300 sq ft: modular kitchen, wardrobes in both bedrooms, false ceiling in the key rooms, and upgraded electrical work.
What does a 3BHK interior cost in Hyderabad?
₹15 to 25 lakh, depending on finish tier. ₹12 to 16 lakh delivers a compact 3BHK of 1,300 to 1,500 sq ft with a laminate-finish straight or L-shaped kitchen, hinged wardrobes in three bedrooms, basic TV units and simple false ceilings. ₹17 to 22 lakh moves to an L-shaped or parallel kitchen in acrylic or PU, full wardrobes with lofts, a dedicated pooja unit and sliding doors in the master bedroom.
Why do two Hyderabad interior quotations for the same flat differ so much?
Because they are usually not quoting the same thing. One contractor may estimate ₹12 lakh and another ₹24 lakh for what looks like the same floor plan, and the gap is almost always in what the cheaper quotation leaves unnamed — plywood grade, hardware brand and series, shutter finish, loft heights, electrical points, and whether painting, false ceiling and the pooja unit are inside or outside the scope. An itemised BOQ makes the two comparable; a lump-sum per-sq-ft rate does not.
What does a modular kitchen cost in Hyderabad?
By layout and tier: a straight kitchen of 8 to 10 running feet runs ₹80,000 to ₹1,20,000 basic, ₹1,30,000 to ₹1,80,000 standard and ₹1,90,000 to ₹2,50,000 premium. An L-shaped kitchen runs ₹1,50,000 to ₹2,20,000 basic through ₹3,30,000 to ₹4,50,000 premium. A parallel kitchen runs ₹1,80,000 to ₹2,50,000 basic through ₹3,90,000 to ₹5,50,000 premium. A U-shaped kitchen runs ₹2,20,000 to ₹3,00,000 basic through ₹4,90,000 to ₹7,00,000 premium.
What do wardrobes, false ceilings and TV units cost in Hyderabad?
Wardrobes are quoted per sq ft of shutter area: roughly ₹850 to ₹1,100 budget, ₹1,200 to ₹1,600 standard, ₹1,800 to ₹2,400 premium. False ceilings run ₹90 to ₹120 per sq ft in gypsum board and ₹110 to ₹140 in POP, with putty, premium painting and LED strip lighting adding around ₹20,000 to ₹35,000. TV units start around ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 for a wall-mounted floating console and rise past ₹1,20,000 for a customised floor-to-ceiling wall.
Why are your rates lower than the quotes I am getting from national interior brands?
Because the rates published here are AlcorOne's own execution rates as a contractor. Independent 2026 surveys of Hyderabad pricing put brand and platform quotations for comparable specification higher — premium wardrobe work at ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 per sq ft against our ₹1,800 to ₹2,400, and turnkey work at ₹1,500 to ₹3,500 per sq ft, rising toward ₹4,000 in Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Gachibowli and HITEC City, against our ₹1,200 to ₹2,200. Those same surveys record local carpenters quoting from ₹650 per sq ft. We sit deliberately between the two, without the marketing, showroom and platform-commission load a national brand recovers from the same project. A rate still cannot be compared on its own — compare the line items first.
Which costs do homeowners most often miss?
The items that sit between trades and so belong to nobody's quotation: electrical rewiring and additional points, plumbing changes, waterproofing, painting after joinery, loose furniture, curtains and blinds, appliance cut-outs, debris removal, and the association's damage deposit. These are why a project comes in over a budget that was never wrong about the joinery.
What do 3 BHK interiors cost in Hyderabad, and what changes for a 4 BHK?
3 BHK interiors cost in Hyderabad runs ₹15 to 25 lakh depending on finish tier, with ₹12 to 16 lakh covering a compact 1,300 to 1,500 sq ft flat in laminate finish. 4 BHK interiors cost is not a fixed step above that — it is the same ₹1,200 to ₹2,200 per sq ft band applied to a larger area, plus the items that genuinely scale with configuration: an additional wet area, longer plumbing and electrical runs, and on duplex or penthouse layouts a staircase or double-height element that needs its own coordination. Ask for the rate basis before comparing, because carpet and built-up area produce very different totals from the same number.
What do villa interiors and luxury interiors cost in Hyderabad?
Villa interiors cost in Hyderabad is set by floor count, wet-area count and finish tier rather than by carpet area, so per-sq-ft comparison across villas is unreliable without a specification alongside it. Luxury interiors cost sits at the top of the ₹1,200 to ₹2,200 per sq ft band and above: a premium 3BHK of roughly 1,800 sq ft can be delivered within ₹25 lakh through disciplined substitution, and from ₹30 lakh upward the specification stops being the constraint. Premium home interiors cost is driven by named plywood grade, hardware series, veneer or PU system and joinery tolerance, with veneer and PU finishes adding ₹350 to ₹750 per sq ft of finished surface. Full detail is on the luxury interiors page and the villa interiors page.
How do I get a full home interior quotation or an interior BOQ estimate in Hyderabad?
Send the floor plan, the possession status and the finish level you have in mind, and we return scope boundaries, the specification those finishes imply and what is still needed before an itemised BOQ can be issued. An interior BOQ estimate is not the same thing as a turnkey interiors cost per sq ft figure: the per-sq-ft number tells you whether a project is affordable, and only the line-item BOQ tells you whether two quotations are describing the same work. The readiness pack lists what to have ready before requesting one.
What does a ₹30 lakh home interior get you in Hyderabad?
At ₹30 lakh home interiors in Hyderabad stop being a series of compromises. Below that band the budget is usually concentrated in the kitchen, living and dining areas — close to 37% of a premium 3BHK allocation — with bedrooms finished more simply. From ₹30 lakh upward the same design intent can run through every room, and specification choices such as BWP marine ply throughout, natural veneer or PU lacquer, glass shutters in slim aluminium frames and Häfele, Hettich or Blum hardware to a named series stop being trade-offs against one another.
Send the floor plan for an itemised BOQ.
We will come back with scope boundaries, named material and hardware specifications, a line-item estimate you can hold another quotation against, and an explicit list of what sits outside the number.
