Planning interiors in Chromepet
A busy GST Road suburb with dense residential streets, independent homes and many mid-sized apartment buildings.
- Basic is the most popular package in Chromepet, reflecting a preference for practical interiors that hold up over years of daily use.
- Kitchen-first phasing is the common way in, which lets families spread costs while still working from a single plan for the whole home.
- Standard module widths suit most compact local layouts and cost less than fully custom units cut to odd sizes.
- In older independent houses, keeping sound teak doors, good flooring or a level granite slab frees budget for wardrobes and hardware.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Write a two-column list
Put essentials like the kitchen and main wardrobes in one column and extras like false ceilings in another. Fund the first column fully.
- 02
Never downgrade hinges and channels
Cheap hardware fails early and costs more to replace. Save on decorative extras rather than daily-use fittings.
- 03
Stick to standard module widths
Standard sizes are quicker and cheaper to produce. Keep custom sizing for awkward corners only.
- 04
Prefer a few big units over many small ones
Several small shelves and niches add up quickly. Larger, well-planned units store more per rupee.
- 05
Touch the laminate before choosing
Photos can mislead. See and feel samples at the studio to judge texture and durability before deciding.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
What does the Basic package include for a 2BHK?
Typically a modular kitchen, bedroom wardrobes and a simple TV unit in durable laminate. The approximate range is ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L before GST, depending on layout and scope.
Why do so many Chromepet families choose Basic?
It gives sturdy finishes and reliable hardware at an accessible cost, which suits practical households planning to upgrade selectively later.
Where can I save without hurting quality?
Reuse sound existing items, skip false ceilings in every room and stay with standard module sizes. Keep spending on hardware and carcass material.
Can I upgrade rooms later?
Yes. A full-home design upfront lets later units match the first phase in finish and handle style, which is how many local families work.
Will I get an itemised quote before deciding?
Yes. After the consultation and site visit, you receive a quote listing materials, finishes and scope, so you can trim or add items before committing.
