Good to know
How we arrive at these numbers
Typical 3BHK carpet areas in Chennai range from about 1000 to 1800 sq ft. Homes of 1200 sq ft and above use our larger rate card.
Bedrooms (wardrobes, beds and side units) are usually the largest single line in a 3BHK because there are 3 of them, followed by the modular kitchen.
Many families choose Premium for the master bedroom and kitchen, and Basic finishes for kids' and guest rooms.
3BHK homes are most common in Anna Nagar, Adyar, ECR, Nungambakkam, where we see steady demand for this configuration.
With three bedrooms, it's common to differentiate them: a refined master bedroom, a durable and playful kids' room, and a guest or parents' room with easy-access storage. Matching finish quality to how each room is used keeps the budget balanced.
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
Tier the bedrooms
Premium finishes in the master bedroom and Basic finishes in the guest room is a common way to keep a 3BHK on budget without compromising where it matters.
- 02
Design for parents' accessibility
Lower hanging rails, drawers instead of deep shelves and good lighting make wardrobes easier for elderly family members.
- 03
Give the pooja space its own plan
A dedicated pooja unit with storage for festival items, and proper ventilation if you light lamps, is worth planning early with the electrical layout.
- 04
Plan the dining area as a hub
A crockery unit that doubles as a buffet counter makes family gatherings easier and reduces clutter in the kitchen.
- 05
Don't forget lofts in every room
Three bedrooms of loft storage adds up to a lot of space for seasonal items and luggage.

Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
What is the 3 BHK interior design cost in Chennai?
Approximately ₹3.1L – ₹8.2L for full-home interiors across Basic, Premium and Ultra Premium. Actual cost depends on carpet area, layout and finishes; a designer will confirm after measuring.
How much does a 3BHK modular kitchen and wardrobes cost?
Kitchen plus bedroom wardrobes for a 3BHK typically fall between ₹2.4L – ₹6.4L, depending on finishes and hardware.
Should all three bedrooms have the same finish?
Not necessarily. Many families choose a higher finish for the master bedroom and durable standard finishes for kids' and guest rooms. A designer can show samples so you can decide room by room.
Is a 3BHK kitchen bigger than a 2BHK kitchen?
Usually slightly, with longer counters and room for a tall unit or pantry. Kitchen cost depends on running length and hardware more than BHK count.
Are these prices final?
No. They are approximate ranges based on Elixir's current rate card (updated 2026-10-28). The final price depends on actual measurements, layout, finishes, hardware and site conditions, so we always recommend a free consultation with one of our designers before you set your budget.
Is the Premium package the right choice?
Premium sits at roughly ₹3.8L – ₹7L for this home. Many homeowners mix packages, for example a premium kitchen with standard bedroom finishes. A designer can show you samples of each finish so you can decide in person.
