Wardrobes cost in Egmore
Bedrooms in Egmore flats are compact, and many older ones have a door, a window and a balcony opening on three of four walls. Wardrobe planning here is about finding the one wall that can take full-height storage and deciding whether sliding shutters will save the clearance a bed needs.

Planning interiors in Egmore
A historic central neighbourhood with heritage buildings, older apartment blocks and a growing number of compact redevelopments near the railway hub.
- Compact Egmore bedrooms often leave little room in front of the wardrobe, so sliding shutters or narrower hinged doors are chosen to keep the bed accessible.
- Medium moisture risk and older external walls mean wardrobes on outer or bathroom-shared walls should have BWP carcasses and ventilation gaps.
- Lofts are valuable in these flats since there is little other space for suitcases, especially for professionals who travel frequently.
- A small dresser built into the wardrobe saves floor space compared with a separate dressing table, which many bedrooms here cannot accommodate.
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

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Find the best wall first
Choose the wall with the fewest openings for the main wardrobe, then fit smaller units elsewhere if needed.
- 02
Measure clearance before choosing shutters
If the bed is close to the wardrobe, sliding shutters avoid door swing problems. Otherwise hinged doors are cheaper and simpler.
- 03
Build in the dresser
A mirror shutter and a small drawer section inside the wardrobe can replace a separate dressing table.
- 04
Do not skip the loft
In compact flats, lofts are the easiest place for luggage and seasonal items. Plan them from the start.
- 05
Watch outer walls for damp
Keep a ventilation gap behind wardrobes on external walls and use BWP plywood to avoid musty smells in the monsoon.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
How much do wardrobes cost for an Egmore 3BHK?
For a 3BHK, bedroom wardrobes are approximately ₹1.7L – ₹3.3L in Basic, ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L in Premium and ₹2.4L – ₹4.6L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST.
Are sliding wardrobes better for small bedrooms?
They help when there is not enough space for doors to swing open, such as when the bed is close to the wardrobe. In other cases hinged shutters work well and cost less.
How do I prevent musty smells in wardrobes?
Use BWP plywood, leave a ventilation gap behind units on outer walls, and avoid packing clothes tightly during the humid months.
Can a wardrobe include a study desk?
Yes. A pull-out or fold-down desk within the wardrobe run is a common choice in compact Egmore bedrooms.
What warranty do wardrobes come with?
Elixir offers a 12-year warranty on woodwork. Hardware is covered by the manufacturers' terms, which your designer can explain.
