Buying a new home is exciting—but making it feel like your home takes more than just fresh paint and a sofa. If you're considering hiring an interior designer, you're probably asking:

How much will it cost to design my 70 sqm apartment—and is Cyprus good value compared to other countries?

Let’s break it down and compare four popular markets: Cyprus, Poland, Germany, and the UK.

🇨🇾 Cyprus

- Typical cost: €35–€50 per m²

- Total for 70 sqm: €2,450–€3,500

- This usually includes:

- Functional layout

- Moodboards and material selection

- Lighting and furniture planning

- Access to trusted contractors

- Discounts from suppliers

- For a bit more, many designers also manage the renovation, making life much easier—especially if you're not based in Cyprus full-time.

✅ Excellent value for full-service design

✅ Supplier discounts often help offset the total fee

✅ Ideal if you want peace of mind and a smooth process

🇵🇱 Poland (Warsaw)

- Typical cost: €40–€60 per m² (can go up to €180 for premium services)

- Total for 70 sqm: €2,800–€4,200 (standard); up to €12,600 (high-end)
