How to plan your home interior budget without surprises

Where the money goes, what to prioritise, and the questions to ask before you sign a quotation.

A clear budget keeps a project calm. The key is knowing where money really goes and deciding priorities early.

Know the big-ticket items

Modular kitchen, wardrobes and false ceiling usually take the largest share. Decide these first.

Prioritise what you touch daily

Spend on hardware, kitchen counters and mattresses; save on decor that can be added later.

Ask for an itemised quote

• Material brand and thickness for boards
• Type of laminate / finish on shutters
• Hardware brand (hinges, channels)
• What is included in electrical and painting

Keep a 10% buffer

Old flats often reveal hidden electrical or seepage issues. A small buffer means no stress.
