Kitchen — the biggest single line item
The modular kitchen is the most expensive room in almost every 2BHK. A standard 8-10 ft L-shape kitchen with tandem baskets, a chimney cutout, quartz counter and full backsplash typically comes to:
- Basic laminate kitchen — ₹1.75 – ₹2.5 lakh
- Intermediate acrylic kitchen — ₹2.75 – ₹3.75 lakh
- Luxury PU / lacquered glass kitchen — ₹4.5 – ₹6.5 lakh
Countertop material is a big price lever — granite is ₹200 per sq ft, quartz is ₹450-750, Italian marble is ₹1,200+. Chimney, hob and built-in oven are separate line items.
Wardrobes — one per bedroom, minimum
A typical 2BHK ends up with 2-3 wardrobes — master, second bedroom, and sometimes an extra in the foyer or utility. Cost is largely a function of running-foot length (usually 8-10 ft per wardrobe) and finish:
- Basic laminate wardrobe (8 ft × 7 ft) — ₹85,000 – ₹1,10,000
- Intermediate acrylic wardrobe — ₹1,25,000 – ₹1,60,000
- Luxury PU + glass wardrobe — ₹2,00,000 – ₹2,75,000
Living, dining and foyer
- TV unit + entertainment console — ₹45,000 – ₹1,50,000
- Foyer console + shoe rack — ₹28,000 – ₹75,000
- Dining table (6-seater) — ₹32,000 – ₹95,000
- Crockery unit / bar unit — ₹45,000 – ₹1,80,000
- Sofa + coffee table (buy or bespoke) — ₹65,000 – ₹2,50,000
False ceiling, lighting and painting
A 2BHK typically has full false ceiling in the living, dining and both bedrooms. Cost is calculated per sq ft of ceiling area:
- Peripheral cove ceiling with LED strip — ₹75 – ₹120 per sq ft
- Full room designer ceiling — ₹120 – ₹180 per sq ft
- Lighting fixtures (downlights, cove, hanging) — ₹35,000 – ₹1,20,000
- Paint — ₹18 – ₹40 per sq ft (2 coats emulsion + putty)

Timeline for a 2BHK interior
A properly-scoped 2BHK moves in 40-55 calendar days from sign-off — assuming design freeze on day one and no material changes mid-way. Factory production runs in parallel to civil / painting so site time stays compact.
