Planning interiors in Kolathur
A growing north Chennai residential area with many new apartments and independent houses near Anna Nagar.
- High moisture risk in Kolathur makes BWP plywood or HDHMR carcasses a sensible choice, particularly on exterior walls and walls shared with bathrooms.
- A small gap between the wardrobe back and the wall, plus a raised base, helps air circulate and keeps damp from wicking into the carcass.
- Young families here often want a low section for children's clothes and a high, lockable section for medicines and documents.
- Wardrobes are commonly bought with the kitchen as part of a starter package, which is the best-value route for many first-time owners in the area.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Check the wall before choosing the board
Ask the designer to look for damp signs on the wardrobe wall and pick BWP or HDHMR accordingly.
- 02
Keep a gap behind the wardrobe
A small air gap between the wall and the wardrobe back reduces damp transfer and musty smells.
- 03
Raise the base
A plinth or legs keep the wardrobe off the floor, which matters in ground-floor homes in low-lying streets.
- 04
Plan high and low zones
Place children's clothes low and medicines or documents high and lockable.
- 05
Bundle with the kitchen
Ordering wardrobes with the kitchen can simplify scheduling and keep finishes consistent.

Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
How much do wardrobes cost for a Kolathur 2BHK?
Approximately ₹1.1L – ₹2L in Basic, ₹1.3L – ₹2.4L in Premium and ₹1.5L – ₹2.8L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST, for both bedrooms.
And for a 3BHK?
Approximately ₹1.7L – ₹3.3L in Basic, ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L in Premium and ₹2.4L – ₹4.6L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST, for a typical 3BHK.
How do I stop clothes smelling musty?
Use moisture-resistant boards, leave a small gap behind the wardrobe and keep the base raised. Airing the wardrobe on dry days also helps.
Is HDHMR good for wardrobes?
Yes. HDHMR resists moisture well and suits many wardrobe carcasses. BWP plywood is preferred on walls with known damp.
Can children's wardrobes grow with them?
Yes. Adjustable shelves and rails let the wardrobe adapt as children grow, so a toddler's low section can later hold school clothes and books.
