Wardrobes cost in Kilpauk
Bedrooms in older Kilpauk homes are full of storage that no longer works: steel almirahs, masonry lofts with flimsy doors and wall niches holding decades of linen. Planning new wardrobes here is partly about deciding what to recess into those thick walls and what to build fresh along the longest wall.

Planning interiors in Kilpauk
A leafy, established residential pocket with older bungalows, mid-rise apartments and newer boutique redevelopments between Anna Nagar and Egmore.
- Deep walls in older Kilpauk flats allow wardrobes to be recessed partly into existing niches, which keeps rooms feeling larger than a freestanding unit would.
- Bedrooms here usually have enough clearance for hinged shutters, so sliding systems are chosen for looks or for a specific tight corner rather than out of necessity.
- Families storing silk saris, heirloom jewellery and festival clothes ask for padded drawers, saree pull-outs and a lockable section more often than in newer suburbs.
- Ceiling heights in many older bedrooms leave room for a proper loft above the wardrobe, useful for suitcases and seasonal bedding.
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
Measure the niches, not just the walls
An alcove beside a window can become a narrow shelf tower. Ask the designer to include every recess in the drawing before deciding wardrobe lengths.
- 02
Plan a saree and silk section
Saree pull-outs and wide, shallow drawers keep heavy fabrics flat. Mention them early because they change the internal layout of the wardrobe.
- 03
Decide what happens to the steel almirah
If you are keeping an old almirah or safe, plan the new wardrobe around it, or build a locker into the new carcass instead.
- 04
Use the loft for things you rarely need
Lofts suit suitcases and spare bedding. Keep everyday items below eye level so elders in the home do not have to climb.
- 05
Pick inner laminates sensibly
Off-white inside is standard and makes clothes easy to see. Coloured interiors are an upgrade that only shows when shutters open.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
How much do wardrobes cost for a 2BHK in Kilpauk?
For a 2BHK, bedrooms and wardrobes are approximately ₹1.1L – ₹2L in Basic and ₹1.3L – ₹2.4L in Premium, pre-GST. Wardrobe height, length and accessories decide where in the range you land.
Can the old masonry loft be reused?
If the slab is sound, the designer can fit new shutters and a lining to it. If it is uneven or damp, replacing it with a carpentry loft gives a cleaner finish.
Hinged or sliding shutters for an older bedroom?
Hinged shutters suit most Kilpauk bedrooms and give full access to the inside. Sliding shutters work where a bed or door sits close to the wardrobe front.
Can you add a locker inside the wardrobe?
Yes, a concealed locker or a lockable drawer can be built into one section. Tell the designer early so the carcass is reinforced where needed.
Do wardrobes come with a warranty?
Elixir offers a 12-year warranty on woodwork. Hardware is covered by the respective manufacturers' terms, which your designer can explain at quotation stage.
