Planning interiors in Kolathur
A growing north Chennai residential area with many new apartments and independent houses near Anna Nagar.
- Families buying 3BHKs in Kolathur often plan the third bedroom for a future need, such as a second child or a parent, and prefer light carpentry there for now.
- With three bedrooms of wardrobes, the cost of moisture-resistant boards adds up, so designers here usually reserve BWP plywood for wet-side walls and use HDHMR elsewhere.
- Independent 3BHK houses in low-lying pockets should keep ground-floor storage raised and avoid full-height panels running to the floor.
- Young parents here often want a family wardrobe near the kitchen for shared items such as bedsheets, school things and medicines.
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
Keep the third bedroom light for now
Fit a simple wardrobe and leave space for a cot, bed or desk, depending on how the family grows.
- 02
Split board choice by wall
Use BWP plywood on bathroom-shared and exterior walls and HDHMR on dry internal walls to control cost.
- 03
Add a shared family cabinet
A tall cabinet near the dining area for medicines, documents and linen keeps bedroom wardrobes personal.
- 04
Avoid floor-to-floor panels downstairs
In houses on low-lying streets, keep ground-floor panelling above floor level so standing water cannot reach it.
- 05
Plan the kitchen plus wardrobes first
The ₹2.4L – ₹4.6L Basic scope covers essentials, and the living room can follow when the budget allows.
