Entry-level furniture designers, especially those just starting their careers, may earn salaries at the lower end of the scale. Salaries for entry-level positions can vary from region to region and may range from around ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh per annum or even lower, depending on factors such as the designer's skills and the industry demand in their area.
As designers gain more experience and expertise in the field, their earning potential tends to increase. Mid-level furniture designers with several years of experience could earn salaries ranging from ₹5 lakh to ₹15 lakh or more per annum.
Senior or lead furniture designers, those with significant experience and a proven track record, can command higher salaries. In established companies or in leadership roles, senior designers may earn salaries ranging from ₹15 lakh to ₹30 lakh or more per annum.
Furniture designers who work as freelancers or start their own design firms have variable incomes. Freelance designers often charge project-based fees or hourly rates. The income in these cases depends on the number and scale of projects, client demand, and the designer's reputation in the industry.
The industry in which a furniture designer works (e.g., residential, commercial, luxury, mass production) and the location (urban centers tend to have higher salaries) are factors that influence salary levels.
