Talk to a real designer

Numbers are a starting point. A designer gets you the real one.

Every home is different. A 20-minute conversation with one of our designers usually narrows the range a lot, and often finds savings you wouldn't spot on your own. It's free and there's no obligation.

Good to know

How we arrive at these numbers

TV units, display shelves and crockery units are where homes express personality, so finish choices matter more here than in bedrooms.

Electrical points for TV units and pooja units are charged at actuals, so plan them with your designer before the false ceiling.

Open shelves cost less than closed storage but need more dusting. Most families mix both.

Dining-area crockery units double as a buffer between kitchen and living in many Chennai apartments.

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

  1. 01

    Size the TV unit to the wall

    Plan the TV unit around wall width and viewing distance, not just the TV.

  2. 02

    Hide the wires

    Plan conduit for set-top boxes, routers and soundbars before the electrician finishes.

  3. 03

    Mix open and closed storage

    A few open shelves for display and mostly closed storage keeps the room tidy.

  4. 04

    Make the crockery unit work hard

    A crockery unit with a counter doubles as a serving buffet during gatherings.

  5. 05

    Plan the pooja space

    If the pooja unit sits in the living area, design it as part of the overall look.
