Services & what we design
We're a founder-led studio offering the full range of luxury interior design, full-home residential and commercial interiors, turnkey execution, luxury renovation, modular kitchens and wardrobes, bespoke furniture, sample flats and space planning. You can work with us three ways: Design-only, Design & Supervision, or full Turnkey. With 10+ years and 700+ homes across Pune and Mumbai, every project is designed by us and built by our own in-house team.
Full design-and-build (turnkey) service runs across Pune and Mumbai, where our own execution teams operate. Anywhere else in India, including for NRI clients, we offer Design & Consultancy and Design & Supervision, delivered remotely. Our studio is headquartered in Aundh, Pune.
Yes. We design luxury homes (apartments, villas, penthouses, bungalows and row houses) and commercial spaces such as offices, retail, showrooms, cafés, restaurants and clinics. The same attention to detail and in-house execution applies to both.
Yes, with an approach tuned to the purpose, low-maintenance, durable materials for second homes; tenant-proof, broadly appealing finishes for rentals; and distinctive, photogenic, guest-friendly design for Airbnbs. We shape the strategy around how the property will actually be used and its return on investment.
We work across contemporary luxury, modern classic, transitional, luxury minimalist, Indo-contemporary and biophilic design, but we don't force a template. Every home is shaped around your personality and how you live, with timeless proportions underneath the chosen style.
We build on the things that don't date (good spatial planning, proportion, flow and materials that age gracefully), then layer in contemporary touches that can be refreshed without a renovation. The goal is a home you love as much in ten years as on day one.
Yes. Space optimisation is one of our strengths. We design storage beds, convertible and foldable pieces, vertical storage, pocket doors, built-in seating and expandable dining, especially for compact 2 and 3 BHK apartments where every inch counts.
Yes. Where it suits your brief we specify locally made and certified materials, low-VOC paints, energy-efficient lighting, water-saving fittings and layouts that maximise natural light, balanced sensibly against your aesthetic and budget.
We integrate it quietly (smart lighting, climate, security and entertainment control, concealed wiring, integrated charging and future-ready infrastructure) so the technology serves the space without ever dominating it.
Yes, where clients want it, we incorporate the essential Vastu principles into the layout and design of the home.
Ways to work with us
Design-Only gives you the complete, build-ready design: 2D layouts, photorealistic 3D views, technical drawings, material and finish specs, and furniture and lighting direction (typically 20–30 days). Design & Supervision adds everything in Design-Only plus contractor coordination, up to around eight site inspections and quality reporting through the build.
Yes. Choose Design-Only, we hand over complete drawings and specs your contractor executes, or Design & Supervision, where we also brief your contractor and oversee quality. Both let you keep your own team while getting a studio's design and rigour. Turnkey clients, by contrast, get everything built by our own in-house team.
Absolutely. You can pick from our curated collections, specify particular brands for fixtures and hardware, and choose every colour and finish. Prefer less involvement? We'll present a tightly edited set of recommendations for you to approve.
Please do. The best homes come from collaboration. Bring your Pinterest boards, reference images and must-haves, and we'll fold them into a cohesive design while adding the professional judgment that makes them work in your space.
Very little. You're mainly needed for the brief, design approval, one or two material sessions and a few milestone sign-offs. We handle vendors, procurement, daily supervision and problem-solving, which is why the service suits busy professionals and NRI clients.
It depends on the package you choose. We build revision rounds into the concept stage so the design is refined to your satisfaction before anything is executed. See Our Approach for the specifics of each package.
Minor tweaks that don't affect timeline or materials are usually absorbed at no extra cost. Larger changes go through a simple change-order: we assess the impact on time and cost, share it transparently, and only proceed once you've approved.
Tell us early, our stage-by-stage approvals and photorealistic 3D views exist precisely to catch this before the build. We refine at the concept stage until you're satisfied, and address any concern during execution promptly.
The design concepts, 3D renders and drawings remain the intellectual property of Divya Jain Interiors, created exclusively for your space. You get the finished home; the original design stays protected and unique to you.
Pricing, payments & policies
A modular kitchen with wardrobes typically runs ₹2.5L to ₹12L+, depending on size, layout, materials and hardware. Our cost calculator gives a figure tuned to your kitchen in under two minutes, and a precise quote follows a site visit.
A full 3 BHK interior in Pune is indicatively ₹19–48L depending on finish level, and a full-home interior can range from ₹19L to ₹1Cr+. Apartments broadly span ₹13L–70L by size and finish; Mumbai runs roughly 10–15% higher than Pune. Try the cost calculator for a tailored range.
We offer a professional paid consultation rather than a free one, an in-depth discussion of your goals, a first read on your space and clear design direction. The fee is credited toward your package when you proceed, so it's an investment, not an add-on.
The initial booking amount secures your slot and covers preliminary design work, so it's non-refundable. If you cancel later, you're charged for design work completed and any materials already ordered; the balance is governed by your client agreement. Full terms are shared up front.
Our estimates spell out exactly what's included. Items like mattresses, chandeliers, art, wallpaper (unless noted), curtains, bathroom glass partitions, appliances and decorative accessories are usually quoted separately, so you can add them to suit your budget.
Payments are milestone-based and tied to real progress: 10% to begin design and hold your slot, 50% after material delivery, 35% at hardware and outer finishing, 10% at the paint stage, and the final 5% at handover. You never pay ahead of the work.
Yes. We can phase the work room by room, or complete the core elements first and add enhancements later, spreading the investment over time while keeping a coherent long-term plan for the home.
Yes, we run a referral bonus to thank clients who recommend us. When someone you refer becomes a client, you're eligible for a reward; ask our team for the current terms.
Process, timeline & communication
Booking secures your slot; then we move through requirements and site measurement, concept development, a 2D and 3D design presentation, guided material selection, technical drawings, execution by our in-house team, quality checks, and a styled handover. You have a single point of contact throughout.
Design-only is typically 20–30 days. A turnkey home is usually around 60–120 days once designs are frozen, depending on size, civil work and material choices. You get a project-specific timeline at the start and regular updates against it.
Call or WhatsApp us on +91 83907 07573, email studio@divyajaininteriors.com, use the enquiry form on this site, or visit our Aundh, Pune studio. Share your property type, location, scope and rough timeline and we'll respond within 24 hours. Consultations run about 45–60 minutes.
Anything you have helps: a floor plan or rough measurements, inspiration images, how you use each space, a budget range, your timeline, existing pieces you'd like to keep, and any pain points with the current space. Don't worry if it's incomplete. The consultation is there to shape it.
Expect regular contact, meetings through the design stages, then weekly progress during the build. We set up a dedicated WhatsApp group for your project with photo and video updates, and invite you for site visits at key milestones, wherever you are.
Yes, one dedicated point of contact who knows your project end to end, so you never have to repeat yourself or chase multiple people for answers.
Usually yes. Short pauses of 2–4 weeks are easy to absorb; longer ones are rescheduled into our pipeline and may be affected by material price changes. It's best planned at a natural milestone. We'll advise based on your stage.
Execution, quality & materials
We build with our own in-house craftspeople. No outsourcing. That means direct quality control, consistent finishing, and no gap between the design and what gets built. It's the core of how we protect your design from drawing to handover.
Quality is layered: a dedicated site supervisor daily, inspections at each milestone, delivered materials checked against approved samples, photographic records before anything is concealed, and regular site visits by Divya herself, plus a full pre-handover inspection.
You can examine every material sample at our Aundh office, experience our working sample kitchen, and see finishes on live sites. Your documentation carries clear material specs and pricing, so you decide with full information before anything is finalised.
Yes. After the concept is approved, we run guided selection sessions at our Aundh studio using our in-house sample library of finishes, fabrics, hardware and surfaces, with showroom visits for premium items and take-home samples so you can judge them in your own light.
We offer three curated finish levels (Essential, Premium and Luxury) spanning different aesthetics and quality levels. Our Approach page lays them out in detail, and we'll guide you to the right fit during your consultation.
Yes, wall changes, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, flooring, ceilings, electrical rewiring and more, all planned during the design phase and executed with proper engineering oversight and compliance.
We prefer empty spaces for the cleanest result, but we take on occupied renovations case by case, phasing the work room by room and managing dust, noise and safety so life can carry on around it.
Most housing societies require permission before interior work begins. As the owner you'll secure these approvals; we guide you from experience with societies across Pune and Mumbai, then schedule our work to comply with their rules.
We plan buffers, tell you the moment something shifts, use our vendor relationships to expedite supply, and re-sequence other work to keep moving. For hidden structural issues we discuss time and cost implications before proceeding.
Yes. We source furniture, lighting and décor through our trusted network, and can procure from premium international brands and their Indian distributors (we assist with, though don't fully manage, import logistics). For turnkey projects we handle it end to end; design clients get recommendations and supplier connections.
Wherever a piece serves the design, yes, we'll suggest placement or light refinishing and build the scheme around what's worth keeping, while being honest when something works against the overall look.
Yes, photorealistic 3D renders are part of every package, showing materials, colours and lighting so you can refine and confidently approve the design before anything is built.
Remote & NRI projects, experience & after-care
This is a big part of our work. We run video consultations and digital approvals, ship physical samples, and share regular photo and video progress in a dedicated group with time-zone-friendly scheduling. Many NRI clients visit only at the start and at handover, turnkey in Pune and Mumbai, design & supervision anywhere else in India.
Support continues after handover, a dedicated team for any concerns, manufacturer warranties we help facilitate, extended warranty on select items, post-installation adjustments, care guidance and periodic follow-ups. Standing behind our work is why so many clients return and refer us.
Yes, browse the portfolio and gallery on this site, view professional photos at our Aundh studio, and follow @divyajaininteriors on Instagram. Where clients permit, we'll arrange visits to completed or near-complete projects and connect you with references.
