Pricing guide

Know what shapes the cost.

This page helps you think about an interiors budget before we speak. It explains what moves the cost — it does not quote one.

Please read first

KIVA does not publish fixed prices. Every home, site condition, and scope is different — a price without that context would only mislead you. A project-specific estimate is prepared after a consultation, scoped to your home, and confirmed before anything is ordered.

What changes the budget

The things that move the number.

Most projects sit on a combination of several of these — no single lever decides the cost.

Home size and rooms

How many rooms are in scope and how much area each one carries. A larger home with more rooms shifts the cost most.

Furniture and storage

Wardrobes, kitchens, beds, dining, and TV units — modular or custom — usually carry the largest share of an interiors budget.

Materials and finishes

Veneer, laminate, stone, fabric, and hardware all sit on a wide quality spectrum. Choices here move the cost noticeably.

Civil and electrical changes

Walls, plumbing, electrical reworking, false ceilings — anything that touches the building shell or services adds cost.

Lighting and appliances

Layered lighting, kitchen appliances, smart fittings — the spec range here is wide, and it matters for how the home feels.

Custom pieces

Designed-for-you tables, beds, and custom furniture cost more than catalogue — and are worth it for the rooms where it shows.

Timeline and site constraints

A compressed timeline, occupied phases, or gated-community windows change how the work is staged — and what it costs to keep moving.

Vendor and brand choices

Where the brief uses imported, premium, or long-lead vendors, the budget and the schedule both shift.

Premium and practical

Spend where it shows.

Where premium is worth it

The things you touch and see every day — wardrobe hardware, kitchen surfaces, lighting quality. These reward the spend.

Where practical wins

Low-contact areas. We will tell you honestly where a practical choice carries the room just as well.

How KIVA quotes

Three steps to a number you can act on.

No catalogue price, no per-square-foot shortcut. The estimate follows the scope, not the other way around.

  1. Step 01

    Understand the home

    Apartment or villa, scope, references, your sense of budget.

  2. Step 02

    Define the scope

    Room-by-room, what's in and out, finish bands, custom vs catalogue.

  3. Step 03

    Price with options

    An itemised, comparable estimate with choices — not a single locked number.

Before a consultation

What to have ready.

None of this is mandatory. The more of it you can share, the more specific the first conversation can be.

  • Apartment or villa name, tower/block, and floor — the more specific, the better.
  • Floor plan if you have it (PDF, JPG, or developer-issued — any version is useful).
  • Recent site photographs if the home is already handed over.
  • Stage — under construction, handover soon, ready to start, or already living in.
  • Rough sense of scope — full home, specific rooms, or a renovation.
  • A rough budget band (or a clear note that the budget is open and you would like our read).
  • A few reference images of homes that feel right to you — yours or ours.
  • Any non-negotiables — pieces of furniture, finishes, or constraints to carry forward.

Start the conversation

Want a budget read for your home?

Two identical floor plans can carry very different budgets. A real estimate waits for a real look at your home — start with a consultation.
