Planning interiors in Kelambakkam
A fast-developing southern OMR suburb with affordable apartments, villa communities and plotted developments.
- Kelambakkam is one of the few OMR localities where 4BHK villas of 2,000 to 2,800 sq ft are common, which is why the comparison table above includes a third row that neighbouring areas rarely need.
- Basic is the most popular package here, reflecting buyers who stretched for a larger home and prefer to furnish sensibly first and upgrade later.
- Apartments in this area are typically smaller, with 2BHKs of 850 to 1,100 sq ft, so the per-sq-ft rate can look higher than the total suggests because kitchen and wardrobe costs do not shrink with the flat.
- Many projects are surrounded by open plots and ongoing construction, so dust is a daily reality and closed storage is more practical than open shelving.
- The studio in Koyambedu is around 65 minutes away, so Elixir plans fewer, well-prepared site visits for measurement and key installation checks.
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
Decide what to do first
In a value-led budget, start with the kitchen and bedroom wardrobes. Living room carpentry and ceilings can follow in a second phase.
- 02
Plan villas floor by floor
If you own a villa, ask for a combined plan for both floors so finishes stay consistent even if work is phased.
- 03
Choose closed storage
Construction dust around new Kelambakkam projects settles quickly on open shelves. Closed cabinets save daily cleaning.
- 04
Upgrade hardware near the coast
Rust-resistant hinges and channels last longer in this coastal belt, and the extra cost is modest compared to replacing them.
- 05
Compare like with like
Ask every designer to quote the same list of wardrobes, lofts and kitchen length so the numbers are comparable.
