Finding the right interior designer in Gurgaon is honestly one of those decisions that people underestimate until they are three months into a project and realise things are not going the way they imagined. We have all heard the stories. The contractor who disappeared mid-project. The beautiful showroom sample looked nothing like the actual installation. The quote seemed reasonable until the surprises started piling up.
Gurgaon is a city where the design market is enormous, and the quality varies wildly. From Golf Course Road villas to compact 2BHKs in Sector 56, from old DLF builder floors to brand new high-rises on Dwarka Expressway, the design needs across this city are diverse, and the options are overwhelming. This list is our attempt to make that choice a little easier for you.
We will be upfront: this is our own studio. And precisely because it is ours, we are going to describe it honestly rather than tell you it is the greatest thing since teak wood.
Studio Rivet was founded in 2005 at 49 Arjun Marg, DLF Phase 1, Gurugram. The practice is led by Neel Kaul and Akanksha Rathee, both of whom bring international education and practice experience to every project. Neel has worked in Canada, and the US Akanksha studied at IAAC Barcelona. Between them, they bring a design sensibility that is globally informed but deeply rooted in the Indian context, which is exactly what you want when you are designing a home that needs to handle everything from a Diwali puja to a summer that touches 45 degrees.
What makes Studio Rivet different from most studios on this list is that we work as an architecture and interior design practice rather than an interior-only studio. This means we think about a home the way an architect does: structure, light, proportion, material, and space before colour, furniture, and decoration. The result is interiors that look genuinely designed rather than decorated.
We work on residential projects across Gurgaon and Delhi NCR, covering everything from independent villas and low-rise residential buildings to 2BHK and 3BHK apartment interiors. We also design hospitality spaces and institutional buildings, which means our understanding of how spaces need to function goes well beyond the typical residential scope.
Our process is fully documented: every project gets a complete set of drawings, material schedules, and 3D visualisations before a single wall is touched. Our fee structure is itemised and explained upfront. Our site supervision is hands-on.
If you want a studio that thinks before it draws, and draws before it builds, we would be glad to talk.
2. Livspace
Livspace is probably the most recognised name in the Indian home interior market right now, and it is popular for good reason. They have a technology-driven process that lets you see your home in 3D before anything is finalised, a network of vetted vendors, and a large team that can handle multiple projects simultaneously. They operate across Gurgaon extensively, with a strong presence in DLF Phases, Golf Course Extension, and Sushant Lok.
The truth about Livspace is that the experience varies significantly depending on which designer you get assigned. The platform is strong, the process is organised, and the modular kitchen and wardrobe products are generally well-priced. Where things occasionally slip is in the bespoke elements and in communication during the execution phase. For a straightforward apartment interior with a modular brief, Livspace delivers good value. For a highly customised or architecturally complex project, a boutique studio will serve you better.
Best for: 2BHK and 3BHK apartment interiors with a modular-heavy brief and a mid-range budget.
3. Chalk Studio
Chalk Studio is one of Gurgaon’s most creatively regarded boutique design practices. They have carved a clear design identity around thoughtful minimalism, interesting material choices, and a client experience that feels genuinely personal. Their portfolio shows strong residential work, particularly in the Golf Course Road and DLF Phase 5 belt, with homes that have a clear aesthetic direction and good material execution.
They tend to be selective about projects and prefer working with clients who have a genuine interest in design rather than those who simply want a room done quickly. If you appreciate the design process and want to be involved in it, Chalk Studio is worth a serious conversation.
Best for: Premium residential apartments and independent homes with an interested, design-engaged client. Budget from Rs 2,000 per sq ft upward.
4. Stonehenge Designs
Founded in 2005 by Vimi Rath and Asheem Rath, Stonehenge Designs has been one of Gurgaon’s most consistent design practices for two decades. They work across residential, restaurants, cafes, and boutique office interiors, which gives them a range of problem-solving experience that pure residential studios often lack.
Their philosophy is rooted in understanding the people who will use the space, not just the visual outcome. Projects feel genuinely thought through rather than styled. The team is experienced, communication is clear, and the studio has a long track record of completed work rather than only renders.
Best for: Residential and boutique commercial projects. Clients who value longevity of design over trend-chasing.
5. ANSA Interiors
ANSA Interiors was founded in 2002 by Ankush Aggarwal and Sapna Aggarwal and has built a strong reputation over the past two decades for luxury residential work in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR. They handle both residential and commercial projects, with a focus on delivering comfort and style at premium quality levels.
One thing clients consistently mention about ANSA is their attention to Vastu while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic, which makes them a good choice for families who want modern design without compromising traditional requirements. Their 3D visualisation process is detailed and helps clients see the space clearly before execution begins.
Best for: Luxury residential apartments and villas. Families who want Vastu integration alongside modern design. Budget from Rs 2,500 per sq ft.
6. Interia
Interia is a Gurgaon-based interior design and execution firm with a strong turnkey focus, meaning they handle everything from design to the final nail in the wall. They are particularly active in Gurgaon’s premium residential segment, with projects in DLF Magnolias, Golf Course Road, and Nirvana Country. Their positioning is squarely in the luxury segment, with minimum project sizes that reflect this.
The turnkey model works well here because they have a committed project management structure with a dedicated handover date given at the start of the project. If your budget is on the higher end and you want minimal involvement in day-to-day decisions, Interia’s model is designed for exactly that kind of client.
Best for: Large luxury residences with a full-scope turnkey brief. Budget typically starts from Rs 30 lakh upward for a full home.
7. Wagma Designs
Wagma Designs was established in 2004 by architect and chief designer Manjari Sharma. The practice has a strong reputation for residential work in Gurgaon, with a design approach that leans warm and home-like rather than cold and magazine-perfect. Projects feel lived-in from day one, which is exactly what most Indian families actually want, even if they sometimes think they want something more glamorous.
Clients particularly appreciate the hands-on involvement of the principal designer rather than being handed off to a junior team after the initial meetings. For a home that needs to function for a joint family or a family with young children, Wagma Designs understands these priorities well.
Best for: Warm, family-friendly residential interiors. Clients who want principal-designer involvement throughout the project.
8. Homelane
Homelane operates similarly to Livspace in the modular, tech-enabled interior space. They have a significant presence in Gurgaon with a strong focus on kitchens, wardrobes, and apartment interiors using a standardised product range. Their pricing tends to be competitive, their delivery timelines are structured, and the visualisation process is smooth.
Like Livspace, the quality experience is product-range dependent. The modular kitchen and storage products are good. Custom or bespoke work is less their strength. If you are fitting out a new apartment and most of your requirements are modular, Homelane deserves a quote comparison alongside Livspace.
Best for: New apartment fit-outs, modular kitchen and wardrobe projects, budget to mid-range.
9. The Workroom
The Workroom is a boutique design studio that has built a following for its considered approach to residential interiors, particularly in Gurgaon’s mid-to-premium segment. They work with a limited number of projects at any one time, which means the design attention each project receives is genuine rather than spread thin across a large pipeline.
Their work tends toward clean, restrained interiors with strong material choices and good lighting plans. They are not the studio you go to if you want maximalist, highly ornamental design. But if you want a home that photographs well and feels equally good to live in ten years later, they are worth considering.
Best for: Clean, contemporary residential interiors. Clients who prefer restraint over excess in their design choices.
10. Wanderlust Architects
Wanderlust Architects has positioned itself as a pan-India architecture and interior design firm with a strong base in Gurgaon. They work across residential, commercial, and hospitality projects and have execution capabilities across multiple cities simultaneously. Their client testimonials from DLF and Sector 54 projects reflect a positive experience, particularly around project management and turnkey delivery.
The studio’s modular fit-out capability, combined with in-house design, contractor, and site supervisor teams, makes it suitable for clients who want a single agency responsible for everything from design to final handover without managing multiple vendors.
Best for: Turnkey projects across residential and commercial spaces. Clients who need pan-India execution alongside design.
11. Native Sutra
Native Sutra is a Gurgaon-based studio with a strong point of view about material and craft. They are known for integrating Indian artisanal materials, handcrafted elements, and local making traditions into contemporary home interiors. If you want a home that feels rooted in India rather than imported wholesale from a European design catalogue, Native Sutra is one of the few Gurgaon studios doing this seriously.
Their work tends to appeal to clients who have an appreciation for craft, who value handmade and natural materials, and who are interested in design that has cultural context. The opposite of generic.
Best for: Clients who want craft-based, culturally rooted interiors. Projects where material selection and Indian making traditions are priorities.
12. 7WD (Seven Working Days)
7WD is based at Platina Tower on MG Road and offers architectural design, construction, and consultancy services for residential and commercial projects. They have been active in the Gurgaon market for several years and offer integrated solutions that cover both design and execution under one roof. Their approach is practical and solution-focused, which suits clients who are more interested in getting things done efficiently than in extended design exploration.
Best for: Residential and commercial projects with a combined design and construction brief. Clients in the MG Road and Cyber City corridor.
13. Exceldes Architects and Interior
Exceldes, led by Yogender Singh, is a design and architecture firm with a strong presence in DLF Phase 5 and across premium Gurgaon segments. They are particularly well regarded in the luxury residential space, with client feedback consistently highlighting their professional approach, timely execution, and quality of finished work at competitive price points relative to the premium segment.
The practice covers residential, office, commercial, retail, and hospitality interiors, which gives them broad problem-solving experience. The multi-category portfolio is useful because it means they have solved a wider range of spatial problems than a purely residential studio.
Best for: Luxury residential projects in DLF Phase 5 and premium Gurgaon sectors. Clients seeking quality finishes at honest prices in the premium range.
14. Designer Homez
Designer Homez is one of Gurgaon’s most active studios in the mid-budget residential market, with a high volume of completed apartment interiors across the city. They are a turnkey studio, handling everything from design to execution, and their pricing is generally accessible compared to the boutique names on this list.
The trade-off for the more accessible pricing is that the design tends to follow popular trends rather than developing a strongly individual direction for each project. For clients who know what they like from references and want it executed reliably at a fair price, Designer Homez does this well. For clients who want a deeply personalised design identity, they may feel the process is a little formula-driven.
Best for: Budget to mid-range apartment interiors. First-time homeowners doing a straightforward fit-out. Fast turnaround projects.
15. Mads Creations
Mads Creations rounds off this list as a creative studio that has been consistent in the Gurgaon market for residential and light commercial work. They are known for personalised service and for working across a range of budgets without compromising on design care. The team brings genuine enthusiasm to each project, which shows in the client relationships they maintain well beyond project completion.
Clients who have worked with them mention the personalised attention they receive and the honest communication around costs and timelines, both of which are often the biggest pain points when working with larger studios.
Best for: Residential interiors across budget and mid-range. Clients who want a responsive, personally engaged design team.
Before You Call Any Studio — Read This First
We have designed a lot of homes and spoken to a lot of clients who came to us after bad experiences elsewhere. The pattern is almost always the same. They chose a studio based on a beautiful portfolio or a word-of-mouth recommendation, signed a vague agreement, paid the first milestone, and then watched the project slowly go off track without understanding why or how to course-correct.
Here are the things that actually matter when choosing an interior designer in Gurgaon, from someone who knows this industry from the inside.
Ask to see finished projects, not renders.
Renders are easy. Every studio can produce a beautiful 3D image. What you want to see is the actual finished room, photographed in real light, with real materials, in a real home. Ask specifically: Can I visit a completed project? A studio that cannot show you a finished home has something to hide about the gap between their renders and their execution quality.
Find out who actually runs your site.
This is the most important question that almost nobody asks. In most studios, the senior designer you meet in the initial meetings is not the person who visits your site daily. Ask directly: Who will be on site during construction? What is their qualification? How many other sites are they managing simultaneously? A site supervisor managing ten projects at once will give your home one-tenth of their attention.
Get a fully itemised quote.
An all-inclusive quote per square foot tells you almost nothing about where the money is going and leaves you with no ability to compare or negotiate. Ask for a breakdown: civil work, carpentry, flooring, painting, false ceiling, electrical, furniture, and professional fees listed separately. If a studio refuses to give you this, do not hire them.
Check how they communicate before you sign
Call them at an odd hour. Send them an email and see how fast they reply. Ask a slightly difficult question and notice how they handle it. A studio that communicates well at the proposal stage will communicate well during the project. A studio that is vague, slow, or evasive before you have even given them money will be worse after.

Final Thoughts
The interior design industry in Gurgaon is growing rapidly, but only a few firms truly understand the balance between aesthetics, functionality, and long-term value. If you are looking for a design studio that combines architecture, interiors, luxury aesthetics, and practical planning, Studio Rivet deserves serious consideration in 2026. A well-designed home is not just about beautiful furniture or expensive materials. It is about creating a space that improves how you live every single day.
