Kitchen + wardrobes pricing
Kitchen + wardrobes cost in Chennai
Kitchen and wardrobes together is the scope many Chennai families choose when they want the essentials done well and plan to add the TV unit, false ceiling and decor later. It covers the two areas that are hardest to change once you move in, and it is a practical way to start living in a new home without committing to a full-home budget on day one.

Good to know
How we arrive at these numbers
This scope is popular with families moving into new handovers across the city who want a functional home quickly and prefer to buy loose furniture for the living room separately.
Kitchens and wardrobes are the two areas most exposed to Chennai's humidity, from steam and sink water in the kitchen to damp external walls in bedrooms, so material choice here matters more than anywhere else in the home.
Doing both together lets a designer use one material and hardware specification across the home, which simplifies production and keeps finishes consistent.
Many tenants-turned-owners choose this scope because it replaces the most-used built-ins first, while existing sofas, beds and dining tables can be reused.
In older homes, this scope often includes removing concrete kitchen shelves and wall lofts, which is more common in Chennai's older buildings than in newer projects.
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
Plan the full home layout anyway
Even if you only build the kitchen and wardrobes now, ask for a full-home layout so electrical points and future units like the TV wall are planned once.
- 02
Use BWP where water is present
In the kitchen, choose BWP plywood for the sink base and areas near the dishwasher or water purifier. Wardrobes can usually use MR grade unless on a damp wall.
- 03
Match finishes across rooms
Choosing one laminate family for kitchen and wardrobes keeps the home cohesive and makes it easier to match future units when you add them later.
- 04
Invest in hardware for daily use
Soft-close drawers in the kitchen and smooth hinges or sliding tracks in wardrobes take the most wear. Hettich and similar partner brands offer options across budgets.
- 05
Schedule installation sensibly
Install the kitchen first so you can cook at home sooner, then complete the wardrobes. Your designer can plan the sequence to reduce disruption.

FAQ
Common cost questions
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Why choose kitchen and wardrobes instead of a full home package?
It covers the essentials that are hard to change later, at a lower total than a full home. Many families add the TV unit, false ceiling and other items once they have settled in.
How much of the cost is the kitchen versus wardrobes?
It varies by home, but for a 2BHK the modular kitchen is roughly ₹50K – ₹93K on Basic and wardrobes are about ₹1.1L – ₹2L. Your designer will break down the quote for your layout.
Can I add more items later without mismatches?
Yes, if you keep a record of the materials and finishes used. Designers usually note the laminate codes and hardware so future units match closely.
Does this scope include loft storage?
Lofts can be included above kitchen units and wardrobes. Whether they are part of the quoted range depends on the design, so check the item list in your quote.
Is this scope suitable for a rental property?
Yes. A functional kitchen and wardrobes are what most tenants look for, and this scope keeps costs lower than a full home fit-out.
