Planning interiors in T Nagar
A dense, busy commercial and residential district where compact apartments and older family homes sit close to Chennai's biggest shopping streets.
- Old cement shelves built into bedroom walls are common in T Nagar's older apartments, and removing them or fitting new shutters over them is a decision that affects the wardrobe cost.
- Compact rooms here reward floor-to-ceiling wardrobes with lofts, since a freestanding almirah takes the same floor space but stores far less.
- Silk saris and traditional wear are stored in many T Nagar homes, so a section with wide shelves and good ventilation is often more useful than extra hanging rods.
- Bedrooms facing busy roads collect dust quickly, which favours closed shutters over open shelves and a dust seal on sliding wardrobes.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Plan around the AC and window
Measure where the split AC and window sit before deciding wardrobe length. These often cut into the usable wall more than expected.
- 02
Give saris their own shelves
Wide, shallow shelves with a soft lining keep heavy saris flat and accessible, rather than stacking them deep in a hanging section.
- 03
Go to the ceiling with a loft
A loft above the wardrobe takes suitcases and spare bedding, which matters in homes without a separate store room.
- 04
Pick sliding only where swing is tight
Sliding shutters cost more. Use them where a bed or dresser blocks hinged doors, and hinged shutters elsewhere.
- 05
Keep one wardrobe lockable
Many families want a locker or a lockable drawer for jewellery and documents. Planning it in during design is simpler than adding it later.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can old cement shelves be reused for new wardrobes?
Sometimes. If they are structurally sound and well placed, new shutters and interiors can be fitted to them. Uneven or crumbling shelves are better removed for a cleaner modular unit.
How do I store silk saris safely in a wardrobe?
Wide shelves, breathable lining and a little ventilation help. Keeping that section away from bathroom-side walls also reduces the risk of moisture affecting the fabric.
What is the wardrobe cost for a 3BHK in T Nagar?
Approximately ₹1.7L – ₹3.3L in Basic, ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L in Premium and ₹2.4L – ₹4.6L in Ultra Premium, before GST, depending on the number and size of wardrobes.
Are mirror shutters a good idea in small bedrooms?
They can make a compact room feel larger and double as a dressing mirror. They do add some cost, so many people use one mirror panel rather than the whole front.
What carcass material is used for wardrobes?
Elixir typically uses BWP or Gurjan plywood for durability, with HDHMR as an option in some areas. Your designer will recommend materials based on the room and budget.
