Buyer’s guide

How should you choose an interior designer in India?

Start with evidence, a comparable scope and clear project ownership. A large location list is less useful than knowing who will measure, design, coordinate and execute your actual space.

What should be checked before appointment?

Is the scope comparable?

Ask every bidder to price the same drawings, materials, services, approvals and exclusions.

Who owns coordination?

Clarify who coordinates design, joinery, electrical, HVAC, fire, civil work and the building team.

Can you inspect relevant work?

Review detailed project galleries and ask for references only where permission has been granted.

How are changes handled?

Require written variation pricing and programme impact before changed work proceeds.
