Living Room and Bedroom Renovation Cost in Bangladesh (2027)

Quick answer: In Dhaka in 2027, a standard living or drawing room renovation costs about BDT 3–5.5 lakh, a premium one BDT 6–10 lakh, and a luxury one BDT 12 lakh or more, excluding loose furniture. A master bedroom costs about BDT 2.5–4.5 lakh at standard level, BDT 5–9 lakh at premium level, and BDT 12 lakh or more for a luxury suite with a walk-in wardrobe. A children’s room costs BDT 1.8–3.2 lakh (standard) or BDT 3.5–6 lakh (premium).

Renovating one or two rooms is how most families in Bangladesh update a home. You do not move out, you do not touch the kitchen or bathrooms, and the work can finish in four to eight weeks. The cost, though, swings widely depending on what you include. This guide breaks it down room by room and item by item, using the rates our project teams see on Dhaka sites going into 2027.

Room	Standard	Premium	Luxury

These figures assume a room of about 180–250 sq ft in an existing apartment, with the electrical backbone already in place. They include design, ceiling, walls, lighting, built-in joinery and finishing. They do not include sofas, beds, curtains, rugs or appliances unless stated.

What goes into a living room renovation cost

The living or drawing room is where families spend the most, because it is the room guests see. Most of the budget goes to five items.

Item	Typical cost range	What drives the price
Gypsum false ceiling with cove lighting	BDT 60,000–1.5 lakh	Room size, number of levels, cove and profile lights
TV or feature wall	BDT 60,000–2.5 lakh	Laminate vs veneer vs stone or fluted panels, built-in storage
Wall finishes (putty, paint, wallpaper)	BDT 25,000–80,000	Paint brand, texture or wallpaper, wall condition
Lighting (fixtures, LED strips, chandelier)	BDT 30,000–2 lakh+	A single statement chandelier can exceed the rest combined
Display or storage units	BDT 50,000–2 lakh	Glass shelves, profile lighting, hardware brand
Flooring (if replaced)	BDT 80,000–3 lakh	Tiles vs marble vs engineered wood; removing old floor

What goes into a bedroom renovation cost

In a bedroom, built-in storage is the largest cost. A full-height wardrobe on one wall usually takes 35–50% of the budget.

Item	Typical cost range	What drives the price
Wardrobe (per sq ft of shutter face)	BDT 1,800–3,000 laminate; BDT 3,000–5,500 veneer, lacquer or glass	Board material, hinges and channels, internal fittings
Headboard or bed back wall	BDT 40,000–1.5 lakh	Upholstery, panelling, integrated lights
False ceiling	BDT 40,000–1 lakh	Plain perimeter cove vs layered design
Dressing unit and side tables	BDT 30,000–1.2 lakh	Built-in vs loose, mirror and lighting
Study desk (children’s rooms)	BDT 25,000–80,000	Length, overhead shelving, cable management
Paint, lighting and switches	BDT 30,000–1 lakh	Number of points, dimmers, smart switches

A walk-in wardrobe moves a master bedroom into the luxury band. It typically adds BDT 4–8 lakh on its own because of the extra joinery, glass shutters, lighting and island drawers.

Five factors that change the price the most

1. Board and finish. Laminate on MDF is the budget option. Veneer, lacquer or marine plywood can double the joinery cost. Read our board material comparison before you sign off on a quote.
2. Hardware. Soft-close hinges and drawer channels from European brands cost three to five times more than local equivalents, but they decide whether a wardrobe still closes properly in five years.
3. Electrical changes. Moving switches, adding lighting circuits or concealing AC lines means breaking and repairing walls. Budget BDT 20,000–60,000 per room if the wiring changes.
4. Occupied home. Working around furniture and family routines slows a site down. Allow an extra 5–10% for protection and cleaning.
5. Who builds it. Workshop-made joinery costs a little more than site-made carpentry but finishes faster and more consistently. Concord Interior builds all of its cabinetry in its own joinery workshop.

How long does a room renovation take?

• One bedroom, standard finish: 3–5 weeks
• Living or drawing room with a feature wall: 4–6 weeks
• Living room plus two bedrooms: 6–10 weeks

Design and approvals add one to three weeks before work starts. Workshop joinery is made while the ceiling and electrical work happen on site, which saves time compared with carpenters building everything in the room.

How to keep a room renovation within budget

• Spend on the things you touch every day (wardrobe hardware, light switches, the sofa wall) and save on things you only look at.
• Keep the existing floor if it is in good condition; replacing it is one of the largest and messiest costs.
• Choose one feature wall per room rather than panelling every surface.
• Ask for a quote that lists quantities and rates per item, so you can compare like for like.
• Hold back 5–10% of the contract value until the snag list is closed.

The wardrobe. A full-height built-in wardrobe usually takes 35–50% of the bedroom budget, and the board material and hardware you choose make the biggest difference to its price.

Can I renovate one room while living in the flat?

Yes. Most single-room renovations in Dhaka are done while the family lives at home. Expect dust and noise for the first two weeks while the ceiling and electrical work is done, and allow a little extra budget for protection and daily cleaning.

Do renovation costs include furniture?

Usually not. Quotes normally cover built-in items such as wardrobes, TV units, headboards and ceilings. Sofas, beds, dining tables, curtains and rugs are priced separately unless you ask for a fully furnished package.
