Interior design cost in Nanganallur
Nanganallur is one of south Chennai's older, temple-centred neighbourhoods, and interior budgets here often include things newer suburbs skip: a proper pooja unit with doors, rewiring in an older building, and finishes that a large family can clean without fuss. The cost picture depends heavily on whether you are fitting out a new flat or reworking a house that has been in the family for decades.

Planning interiors in Nanganallur
A traditional, temple-rich residential neighbourhood near the airport, with independent houses and family-run apartment buildings.
- Housing in Nanganallur is a mix of independent houses, older family-run apartment buildings and some newer blocks, so two homes of the same size can need very different preparation.
- Almost every home here asks for a pooja unit or pooja-room door, and a carved or jaali-front unit costs more than a simple laminate one.
- Older buildings often have limited sockets and aged wiring, so electrical work frequently sits alongside the interior quote.
- Moisture risk is moderate rather than severe, which lets many families use standard plywood in bedrooms while keeping BWP for kitchens and bathrooms-adjacent walls.
- The Koyambedu studio is about 30 minutes away, which makes site visits during installation fairly easy to schedule.
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

Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Budget the pooja unit separately
Treat the pooja unit or door as its own line in the quote so you can choose its design freely without squeezing the kitchen or wardrobes.
- 02
Ask for an electrical check first
In older Nanganallur buildings, get the wiring and earthing checked before finalising the design, since upgrades are cheaper before carpentry goes in.
- 03
Choose easy-care surfaces
Pick laminates and countertops that tolerate daily lamp oil, turmeric and kumkum stains and can be wiped clean quickly.
- 04
Use the per-sq-ft band as a check
The Basic band here is about ₹220/sq ft – ₹410/sq ft, which you can multiply against your carpet area to sense-check quotes.
- 05
Separate civil from interiors
Ask for civil, electrical and carpentry as distinct lines so you can see what the house needs versus what you are choosing to add.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Is a pooja unit included in the package price?
Not by default. It is added as a separate item, and the cost depends on size, doors, jaali work and lighting. Your designer will show a few options at different budgets.
Why might my Nanganallur quote include electrical work?
Many homes here are in older buildings with limited points or ageing wiring. Upgrading before carpentry avoids having to break new units later to reach the wiring.
Are prices inclusive of GST?
No. All figures are approximate and pre-GST, and GST appears separately in your detailed quotation.
Does a 3BHK cost much more than a 2BHK?
In Basic, a typical 3BHK is approximately ₹3.1L – ₹5.8L compared with ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L for a 2BHK. The difference comes mostly from the extra wardrobe set and a larger kitchen.
