Interior design packages at DesignCafe are exclusive of furniture and home decor. They are handpicked by our home interior designers in line with your envisioned aesthetic.
12. Why do interior companies quote different prices for the same home?
Interior quotes can vary because companies may use different materials, finishes, hardware, designs and levels of customisation. The scope of work, product specifications, workmanship, project management and services included in the quotation can also affect the price. When comparing quotes, look beyond the total cost and check exactly what is included, the materials specified and the quality of execution.
13. What are the hidden costs I should look out for in a home interior project?
At DesignCafe, the quotation clearly outlines the costs included in your project. Additional costs may arise if you make changes to the original scope, upgrade materials or hardware, require civil or electrical work, or have site-related requirements that were not part of the initial quotation. Before starting the project, review the detailed quotation to understand the inclusions, exclusions, payment milestones, and any potential additional charges. This helps you have a clear understanding of the overall project cost.
14. Can I finance my home interiors through EMI or other payment options?
Yes. DesignCafe offers payment options that can help eligible customers finance their home interiors through EMI or other available financing facilities. The availability, tenure, interest rate and eligibility can vary depending on the financing option and customer profile. You cab speak to a DesignCafe representative to understand the payment and financing options available for your project.
15. What should I have ready before my interior design consultation?
It helps to have your home's floor plan or measurements, possession or move-in timeline, preferred design style, room-wise requirements and approximate budget ready for the consultation. You can also share inspiration images, storage requirements and any specific furniture or appliances you plan to include. This helps the DesignCafe team understand your requirements and create a more relevant design proposal.
16. What should I check in the interior design contract, payment schedule and final proposal before signing?
Before signing, review the scope of work, design specifications, materials and finishes, inclusions and exclusions, total project cost, payment milestones, estimated timeline, warranty and after-sales terms. Also check how design changes, cancellations, delays and additional work are handled. Make sure the final proposal and contract clearly reflect what has been agreed with your DesignCafe team.
17. Can I see my home design in 3D before execution begins?
Yes. DesignCafe lets you review your home design in 3D before execution begins. This gives you a clearer view of the proposed layouts, furniture, colours, and finishes, so you can suggest changes and finalise the design before it moves to execution.

19. What is the DesignCafe home interior design process from consultation to handover?
DesignCafe’s home interior design process starts with a design consultation, followed by space planning, design finalisation, and material selection. Once the design is approved, the interiors are manufactured and then delivered and installed at your home. A dedicated project manager oversees the execution and keeps you updated through the process. After installation and final quality checks, the completed interiors are handed over to you.
20. How long does a complete home interior project take from design to handover?
Yes, our delivery turnarounds start at 45 days. However, in case of any delay, your dedicated project manager will inform you of the exact reason for the delay and the new estimated timeline.

DesignCafe appoints a dedicated project manager who keeps you updated on your project like project’s progress, upcoming activities, and important milestones throughout the entire process. The manager also keeps you informed about any changes or updates that may affect the project timeline, so you know what is happening at each stage.
22. Does DesignCafe handle interior design and execution in-house?
Yes, from conceptualisation to delivery, our projects are completely handled in-house. All our designers and carpenters are employed and trained by us, and our furniture and fittings are manufactured at our own factories.
23. How does DesignCafe ensure projects are completed on time and what can cause delays?
To ensure that projects are completed on time, DesignCafe follows a structured project process with defined stages, timelines, and coordination between design, production, and installation teams. While delays are not common, sometimes they can occur due to changes in requirements, approval timelines, site readiness, material availability, or unforeseen site conditions. In such cases, the DesignCafe team keeps you informed about any factors that may affect the agreed timeline.
24. What materials and hardware does DesignCafe use, and how do you ensure their quality?
DesignCafe uses specified materials, finishes, and hardware based on the requirements and specifications agreed for your project, based on the design, functionality, finish, and budget.
