Planning interiors in Nungambakkam
A central, high-value address mixing heritage residences, embassy-belt apartments and compact luxury towers close to the city's commercial core.
- Many Nungambakkam homes have household staff cooking daily, so kitchens need hard-wearing surfaces and clearly organised storage that several people can use.
- Open or semi-open kitchens in newer towers are visible from the dining area, which pushes owners towards acrylic or PU shutters and concealed appliances.
- Older apartments here may have dated plumbing and limited electrical points, which can require upgrades before a modular kitchen is installed.
- Ultra Premium is the most popular kitchen tier in the locality, reflecting a preference for premium finishes and hardware.
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
Separate the show and work zones
In open kitchens, keep heavy cooking in a back area or utility and present a cleaner front to the dining space.
- 02
Plan for multiple users
Clear labelling, drawers and organisers help household staff and family find things easily.
- 03
Integrate appliances neatly
Built-in ovens, dishwashers and refrigerators look cleaner and need cabinets designed around exact models.
- 04
Choose shutters for visibility and use
Use premium finishes where guests see them and durable laminates in the working sections.
- 05
Confirm ventilation and ducting
Check chimney ducting routes early, especially in older buildings with limited external walls.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Which shutter finish suits an open kitchen?
Acrylic and PU give a smooth, premium look for visible areas. Laminate is more forgiving for heavy-use sections.
What does a 4BHK kitchen cost?
For a 4BHK of about 2,800 sq ft, a modular kitchen is approximately ₹84K – ₹1.6L in Basic to ₹1.1L – ₹2.1L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST.
Can I have a separate wet kitchen?
Yes, if space allows. A wet kitchen or utility area handles heavy cooking while the main kitchen stays presentable.
Do built-in appliances increase cost?
Cabinet work for built-ins is more precise and may add cost. Appliances themselves are usually purchased separately.
How long does a modular kitchen take?
After design approval, production typically takes 15–20 working days, followed by installation.
