How Much Does Interior Design Cost in Kyiv in 2026
The most common question at a first meeting is "how much will this cost". Here is the honest answer, no fine print: interior design in Kyiv in 2026 starts at $60 per square metre for a full design project. For a 200 m² house that means from $12,000. Now let’s break down exactly what you are paying for — and why one apartment can cost more than another of the same size.
Design project price per square metre
The logic is simple: the larger the space, the larger the project. That is why we price per square metre. Here are our rates for 2026:
| Service | Price | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Interior design | from $60 / m² | Space planning, 3D visualizations, working drawings, specifications |
| Architectural design | from $40 / m² | From concept sketch to building permit |
| Author supervision | $800 / month | On-site control of the build (Kyiv) |
| Turnkey realization | from $1,400 / m² | Approximate budget for design + renovation with materials |
One important detail: our minimum project is calculated as 120 m². Even if your apartment is 60 m², the amount of work is roughly the same as for 120 m² — so an interior design project starts at $7,200, and an architectural project at $4,800.
Why two apartments of the same size cost differently
Equal square metres do not mean an equal price. Here is what moves the cost up or down:
- Floor area — the base value the project price is calculated from.
- Type of space — apartment, private house or commercial premises (restaurants, offices and shops have more complex logic).
- Layout complexity — replanning, merging rooms, unconventional geometry.
- Project depth — number of visualizations, level of detail in working drawings, custom furniture.
- Author supervision — a separate option if you want the studio to control the build on site.
What a full design project includes
A full design project is not just "pretty pictures" — it is a complete documentation package that lets builders reproduce the design exactly:
- Space planning — wall layout, furniture placement, zoning.
- 3D visualizations — photorealistic images of the future interior.
- Working drawings — wall elevations, ceiling and floor plans, electrical and plumbing layouts.
- Specifications — a list of materials, furniture and equipment with sourcing links.
What turnkey realization costs
If you need not just a project but a finished result, the approximate budget for turnkey realization (design + renovation with materials) in Kyiv in 2026 is from $1,400 per m². The final figure depends on the finish level, engineering systems and choice of materials. At bureau X, design and renovation can be handled by one team — with author supervision, so the result matches the project.
Timelines
A design project for a 60–100 m² apartment takes roughly 8–12 weeks. An architectural project for a house starts at 1 month. Exact timelines depend on the size and complexity of the property.
Frequently asked questions
How much does interior design cost for a 60 m² apartment in Kyiv?
Since the minimum project is calculated as 120 m², a design project for a 60 m² apartment starts at $7,200. For apartments of 120 m² and above, the price is based on the actual area — from $60/m².
Is author supervision included in the project price?
No, author supervision is a separate service ($800/month in Kyiv). You need it if you want the studio to check on site that the renovation matches the project.
How much does a turnkey renovation cost together with design?
The approximate budget for turnkey realization (design + renovation with materials) is from $1,400/m². The final amount depends on the level of materials and engineering solutions.
