My sister bought a sofa for ₹80,000. Then she realized it didn't fit through the door. She had to return it. Then she bought another one. This one fit but made the living room feel like a shoebox. She painted the walls three different colors in one year. Her curtains didn't match anything. Her mom's old center table didn't work with the TV setup. By the time she called someone – an actual best interior designer in Greater Noida – she'd already spent three lakhs and her apartment still looked like a college dorm.
