2BHK · 650–800 sq ft
2BHK interior cost for 650–800 sq ft homes
A 2BHK between 650 and 800 sq ft packs two bedrooms into the area some builders give a large 1BHK, so the second bedroom is usually compact and the kitchen is tight. Planning here is about making that small second room genuinely usable, whether it becomes a child's room, a home office or a guest room that doubles as storage.

Good to know
How we arrive at these numbers
Compact 2BHKs are a staple of budget and mid-segment launches in suburbs such as Perumbakkam, Guduvanchery and along Poonamallee High Road, as well as older housing-board style buildings within the city.
Second bedrooms in this band are often around 9 by 10 feet, which leaves room for a single bed and a wardrobe but little else unless storage is built into the bed or the wall.
Kitchens are frequently parallel or L-shaped with a window over the sink; in humid months, a pull-out tall unit near the window stays drier than a corner carousel tucked away from airflow.
First-time buyers dominate this size, and many split interiors across two phases: kitchen and master wardrobe at move-in, second bedroom and living room after a few months.
At 650 sq ft the per-sq-ft rate on Premium can be around ₹390/sq ft – ₹730/sq ft, dropping toward ₹320/sq ft – ₹600/sq ft at 800 sq ft, simply because the same kitchen and wardrobes cover more area.
Estimates cover design, modular carpentry, installation and a 12-year woodwork warranty. Civil, electrical, painting, appliances and countertops are usually quoted separately. See full inclusions & specifications

Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Design the second bedroom for two uses
A wall bed or a single bed with a pull-out trundle and a fold-down desk lets the small bedroom serve as a study by day and a guest room when needed.
- 02
Prioritise the master wardrobe
In a compact 2BHK the master wardrobe often holds clothes for the whole family. A 3-door or 4-door full-height unit with a loft is usually a better spend than two small wardrobes.
- 03
Keep the living room free of fixed units
A slim floating TV panel instead of a full-wall unit keeps the living room open. You can add a shoe cabinet near the entrance, which is used daily in Chennai homes.
- 04
Plan the phased order with your designer
If you split the work, ask for the full layout to be designed upfront so later phases match finishes and the electrical points are placed once, not twice.
- 05
Check door swings on a drawing
Bedroom, bathroom and wardrobe doors often collide in compact plans. A simple drawing review before production saves expensive changes later.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
How should I furnish a very small second bedroom?
Built-in options such as a storage bed, a wall-mounted study table and a wardrobe with a loft make the most of a small room. Loose furniture tends to eat into the walking space. Your designer can show two or three layout options on a drawing.
Can I do only the kitchen and one wardrobe first?
Yes, many owners in this size band phase the work. Doing the kitchen and master wardrobe first and the rest later spreads the cost. It helps to design the whole home at once so the later phase matches.
Is a compact 2BHK cheaper to furnish than a large 1BHK?
Usually not, because a second bedroom brings an extra wardrobe and more units. Even if the carpet area is similar, the 2BHK ranges start higher, at about ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L on Basic.
Which package do most families choose for this size?
Premium is a popular choice because it balances finish quality with cost, at roughly ₹2.5L – ₹4.7L for this band. Basic works well for tighter budgets or rentals. The final figure depends on the items you include.
Will a wardrobe fit in the second bedroom with a bed and desk?
In many compact plans it fits if the wardrobe uses sliding shutters and the desk is wall-mounted. It depends on the exact room size and window position, so a site measurement is the only reliable way to confirm.
