Interior design cost in Virugambakkam
Virugambakkam sits on Arcot Road between Vadapalani and Valasaravakkam, and a lot of people buying here are moving up from a smaller first flat. They arrive knowing exactly what annoyed them last time, too little storage, a cramped kitchen, and that experience tends to steer the budget toward fixing those specific problems.

Planning interiors in Virugambakkam
A residential neighbourhood along Arcot Road between Vadapalani and Valasaravakkam, with compact apartments and family homes.
- Virugambakkam has a real mix of recently built compact apartments and older blocks from earlier decades. A resale flat in an older block may need wiring or wall work that a new one does not, which is quoted outside the interior ranges.
- Couples upgrading from a first home often bring a sofa, bed or dining set with them. Telling the designer what is coming along keeps the estimate focused on built-ins rather than duplicate furniture.
- Metro construction along the Arcot Road corridor can slow deliveries and make parking a van difficult on some stretches, so installation dates are best fixed well ahead.
- At roughly 15 minutes from Elixir's Koyambedu studio, Virugambakkam is one of the closest localities to the sample library, which makes it easy to compare finishes before choosing a package.
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
Write down what failed in your last home
List the storage and kitchen problems you lived with in your previous flat. Starting from that list keeps the estimate tied to fixes you will actually notice.
- 02
Ask for the building's age to be factored in
If you are buying resale in an older block, request a check of switches, wiring and wall dampness before the quote is finalised.
- 03
Book installation slots early
With road works on parts of Arcot Road, confirm delivery days and van access with the designer as soon as the design is signed off.
- 04
Compare Basic and Premium in the studio
The studio is close by, so it is worth a visit to feel the hardware difference before deciding whether Premium is worth it for you.
- 05
Budget for moving-related extras
Shifting existing furniture, new curtains and lights usually sit outside the interior estimate. Set aside a separate amount for them.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
I am upgrading from a 1BHK. How do I estimate the jump in cost?
The figures here are for full homes, starting around ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L in Basic for a 2BHK. The biggest new costs are usually the second bedroom's wardrobe and a larger kitchen, so the designer can price those first.
Does the metro work affect my interior timeline?
It can affect delivery access and timing on some stretches. Production typically takes 15–20 working days after approval, and the designer will plan installation windows with the road situation in mind.
Are older Virugambakkam apartments more expensive to do up?
The carpentry cost is similar, but older flats often need extra electrical or wall repair work. That is quoted separately after a site visit.
Do the prices include GST?
No. All the figures are approximate and pre-GST, and the final quote will show tax separately.
Can I reuse my old wardrobe in the new flat?
Sometimes, if it fits and is in good condition. The designer can plan new storage around it, though built-in wardrobes usually make better use of the wall.
