Planning interiors in Virugambakkam
A residential neighbourhood along Arcot Road between Vadapalani and Valasaravakkam, with compact apartments and family homes.
- Sliding wardrobes are popular in Virugambakkam because many bedrooms leave little room between bed and wall. Sliding tracks and larger shutters cost a little more than hinged doors.
- Lofts are the main way families here find room for suitcases, extra bedding and festival items in compact flats.
- Older apartment blocks in the area may have walls that are slightly out of line, which affects how well sliding tracks run. A designer should check this before choosing sliding doors.
- Couples upgrading from a first flat often know how much hanging space they really need, which helps size the wardrobe accurately.
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
Check walls before choosing sliding
Sliding shutters need straight walls and a level floor. In older flats, ask the designer to verify both.
- 02
Size the loft for luggage
Measure your biggest suitcase and make sure the loft depth and height fit it.
- 03
Plan hanging versus folding
Count shirts, sarees and folded clothes to decide how much rail space and how many shelves each person needs.
- 04
Consider a mirror shutter
In small rooms, a mirror on a sliding shutter can replace a separate dresser.
- 05
Ask about inner finish upgrades
Off-white interiors are standard. Coloured interiors look nice but add cost.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Are sliding wardrobes more expensive?
Yes, slightly, because of the tracks and larger shutters. In small Virugambakkam bedrooms they often make the room more usable, which can justify the cost.
Do lofts increase cost much?
Lofts add carcass and shutter area, so they raise the cost. In compact homes they usually earn their place by holding bulky items.
What do wardrobes cost for a 3BHK?
In Basic, roughly ₹1.7L – ₹3.3L before GST, depending on the number and size of wardrobes.
Can I use mirror shutters?
Yes. Mirror or glass shutters are available and are often used to save space on a separate dresser.
How do I stop wardrobes smelling damp?
Use BWP plywood with sealed edges and leave a small ventilation gap, especially on outer walls.
