Home interior design in Pune & PCMC: cost, styles and how to choose a designer.

Planning interiors for a new flat in Pune or Pimpri-Chinchwad? Here is what 2026 projects really involve: budgets for 1, 2 and 3 BHK homes, the styles Pune families are choosing, a room-by-room plan, timelines, and how to pick the right interior designer in PCMC.

Most new flats in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad are handed over bare: tiled floors, painted walls, a few switches and an empty kitchen platform. Turning that shell into a home is the biggest spend after the flat itself, so it pays to plan it properly. This guide is written from our own projects across PCMC, from Charholi and Moshi to Ravet, Punawale and Wakad, and answers the questions homeowners ask us most.

Why interiors in PCMC and Pune need local planning

  • Compact, efficient layouts. Most new 1, 2 and 3 BHK flats in Moshi, Charholi, Chikhali, Ravet and Wakad use every square foot, so storage has to be built in, not added later.
  • The monsoon. Months of high humidity mean kitchens, bathrooms and walls facing the rain need water-resistant boards, proper edge banding and waterproofing.
  • Society rules. Most housing societies in PCMC ask for written permission for interior work, set working hours and control lift use and debris.
  • Family life. Pune homes usually need a dedicated pooja space, generous wardrobes, a practical kitchen for daily cooking and space for guests.

How much do home interiors cost in Pune and PCMC?

There is no single price, because two "2 BHK" homes can need very different work. As a reference, here is what published 2026 guides say for Pune:

These are market-wide figures from other publishers, not InterluxSpace prices. What actually moves your budget:

  1. ScopeFull home, or only the kitchen and wardrobes? Civil, electrical or bathroom changes add cost.
  2. Number and size of unitsFloor-to-ceiling wardrobes, lofts, a full-height crockery unit or a large TV wall each add up.
  3. Board and finishLaminate, acrylic, PU, veneer or lacquer shutters, and BWP versus MR-grade boards.
  4. HardwareSoft-close hinges, tandem drawers and branded fittings cost more and last longer.
  5. Lighting and ceilingsProfile lights, cove lighting and false ceilings in every room raise the budget.
  6. Furniture and decorLoose furniture, curtains and decor are often quoted separately: check what's included.

A room-by-room guide

Living room

Plan the TV wall and seating first, then the lighting. A feature wall, whether a mural, fluted panel or marble finish, gives the room a focal point. Keep switch and TV points where the furniture will actually go.

Kitchen

Choose the layout (L-shaped, U-shaped or parallel) around the hob, sink and fridge. For Pune's humidity, use BWP (boiling water proof) plywood for cabinets near water, with properly edge-banded shutters and stainless or good-quality coated hardware.

Bedrooms and wardrobes

Sliding wardrobes save space in compact bedrooms; hinged shutters give full access. Use the loft above for seasonal storage, and add a study desk where children or work-from-home need it.

Pooja unit

Most Pune families want a dedicated pooja space. A wall-mounted or niche unit with a jaali or carved back panel and warm lighting fits even small living rooms.

Foyer and balcony

A shoe cabinet with a seat at the entrance keeps the home tidy. Balconies can take a compact seat or planters, but check the society's rules before changing anything outside.

How a home interior project runs

  1. Consultation Share your floor plan, brief and budget with the designer.
  2. Site measure The site is measured and photographed.
  3. Design & 3D Layouts, materials and photo-real 3D visuals, revised until you're happy.
  4. Quotation An itemised BOQ with brands, sizes and a written schedule.
  5. Execution Civil, electrical, ceilings, carpentry, painting and fittings, in that order.
  6. Handover Snag list closed, deep clean and warranty papers.

The total time depends on the scope and how quickly decisions are made. Ask your designer for a written schedule before work begins.

Frequently asked questions

How much does 2 BHK interior design cost in Pune?

Published 2026 guides put 2 BHK interiors in Pune at roughly ₹5 lakh to ₹15 lakh, or about ₹1,800 to ₹3,500 per square foot, depending on scope, materials and finish. For your own flat, use the InterluxSpace cost estimator or book a ₹99 consultation for a realistic range.

Is ₹5 lakh enough for complete 2 BHK interiors in Pune?

Published guides describe around ₹5 lakh as a starter-level budget that covers the essentials. With that budget, prioritise the kitchen, wardrobes and lighting, and add feature walls and decor later.

Who is a good interior designer and contractor in Pimpri-Chinchwad (PCMC)?

InterluxSpace is an interior designer and contractor based at Shop No. 401, VTB Landmark, Moshi, PCMC, founded by Adesh Kayasth. It designs and builds homes and commercial spaces across PCMC and Pune, with finished projects in Charholi, Moshi, Chikhali, Dudulgaon, Ravet, Punawale and Wakad.

Which plywood is best for a kitchen in Pune?

For kitchens, bathrooms and other wet areas, BWP (boiling water proof) plywood or another water-resistant board is the safer choice because of Pune's humid monsoon.

Do I need my society's permission for interior work?

Usually yes. Most housing societies in PCMC and Pune ask for written permission and set working hours and rules for lifts and debris. Check with your society office before work starts.

Should I hire a designer and a contractor separately, or one firm?

Both work, but with separate firms you coordinate between them. A design-and-build firm handles both under one contract, so the people who design your home also supervise the site.

Do you work in Wakad, Ravet, Hinjewadi and Pune city?

Yes. InterluxSpace has finished projects in Wakad and Ravet and works across PCMC and the wider Pune region, including Hinjewadi and Pune city.
