Interior Design Price in Tbilisi & Georgia

Interior design price in Tbilisi and across Georgia ranges between ₾55 and ₾135 ($20-$50) per square meter (sqm) on average. The total cost depends on the floor area, structural complexity, and the chosen design package.

When renovating a residential or commercial space, professional interior design is not an extra expense - it is an investment that significantly reduces your overall renovation budget. Below, we break down current market rates, design packages, and key pricing factors.

Interior Design Price - Packages and Rates

Pricing in architectural studios is based on service depth and technical documentation scope. Fillet Studio offers three main design packages:

• Basic (Technical) - ₾55-₾70 ($20-$25) / sqm: Space measurement, 2D layout planning, electrical & plumbing blueprints.
• Standard (3D + Drawings) - ₾80-₾110 ($30-$40) / sqm: Basic package + 3D photorealistic visualization, color palette, material selection.
• Premium (Full + Supervision) - ₾120-₾135 ($45-$50) / sqm: Standard package + custom furniture drawings, material specifications, field supervision.

Important Difference: Design Project vs Renovation Cost

Clients often confuse two distinct budgets:

1. Design Project Cost (₾55-₾135 / $20-$50 / sqm): The fee for architectural expertise, technical blueprints, 3D renderings, and material specifications.
2. Renovation & Construction Budget (market average, approx. ₾800-₾1600+ / $300-$600+ / sqm): Covers black/white frame construction, contractor labor, finishing materials, lighting, and furniture.

A complete design project serves as a precise roadmap that prevents costly budget overruns during construction.

What Drives Interior Design Price?

The exact cost of your project is calculated based on several key variables:

• Total Area (sqm): Larger spaces (150+ sqm) often feature a lower per-square-meter rate, while small apartments (under 40 sqm) carry a minimum project fee.
• Property Condition: Renovating an old apartment or raw space requires detailed demolition/reconstruction plans, increasing technical workload.
• Custom Furniture & Joinery: The percentage of bespoke furniture and custom architectural lighting details.
• Field Observation: Regular site visits by the designer to monitor construction compliance.

What is Included in a Complete Design Package?

A full design documentation package provides everything contractors need for execution:

• Measurement & Layout Drawings: Ergonomic spatial zoning and furniture layout.
• Engineering Schemes: Detailed blueprints for electrical points, lighting groups, plumbing, and HVAC.
• Elevations & Material Layouts: Floor tiling patterns, ceiling details, and wall finishes.
• 3D Photorealistic Visualizations: Clear visual preview of your space before construction starts.
• Material Specifications (Shopping List): Exact articles, quantities, and suppliers for tiles, paint, fixtures, and lighting.

Example: Interior Design Price for a 50 m² Apartment

Take a typical 50 m² apartment in Tbilisi. Depending on the chosen package, the estimated design cost looks roughly like this (the final price depends on the property's condition and the complexity of the details):

• Basic package: ~₾2,750-₾3,500 ($1,000-$1,250)
• Standard package: ~₾4,000-₾5,500 ($1,500-$2,000)
• Premium package: ~₾6,000-₾6,750 ($2,250-$2,500)

This is only an illustrative example - the exact amount is set after measuring your apartment and clarifying your needs.

Additional Costs to Plan For in Advance

Beyond the design project fee, it is wise to budget for the following when planning your total:

• Author supervision: If you choose the Basic or Standard package, the designer's regular site visits can be agreed separately.
• Furniture & material procurement: This is the real cost of furniture, lighting, and finishing materials - independent of the design fee.
• Specialized engineering work: Complex projects (e.g. full rerouting of utilities) may require additional technical documentation.
• Changes after concept approval: Major changes introduced into an already-approved project require extra time and resources.

Transparency matters to us - all of these points are clarified upfront, at the contract stage.
