Villa Interior Designers in Nungambakkam
Independent houses in Nungambakkam are often older family residences on valuable central land, with grand entrances, verandahs and rooms built for another era of living. Elixir's villa designers plan these homes across every floor, deciding how the foyer, staircase and formal rooms will read together before moving into bedrooms and service areas.

Central Chennai · PIN 600034
Planning interiors in Nungambakkam
A central, high-value address mixing heritage residences, embassy-belt apartments and compact luxury towers close to the city's commercial core.
- Heritage bungalows here often have deep verandahs, high ceilings and large windows, which suit tall storage and dramatic lighting but need finishes that respect the architecture.
- Formal drawing rooms and everyday family lounges are usually separate in these homes, and each needs its own furniture, storage and lighting plan.
- Staircases and entrance foyers are the first spaces guests see, so railing, wall treatment and lighting decisions are made early.
- Larger households often include resident staff, which makes service storage, laundry areas and back-of-house circulation part of the brief.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Decide the foyer's first impression
The entrance sets the tone for the house. Plan its lighting, storage and wall finish before the rest of the ground floor.
- 02
Keep verandahs breathable
Use weather-tolerant materials and avoid enclosing verandahs fully, since they help keep older homes cool.
- 03
Plan back-of-house storage
Provide cupboards for cleaning equipment, linen and supplies on each floor, away from formal rooms.
- 04
Choose stronger hardware for tall units
Tall shutters in high-ceilinged rooms need sturdier hinges and channels to stay aligned.
- 05
Agree on supervision for multi-floor work
Confirm how often the supervisor visits and how floors are sequenced if the family remains in residence.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can a heritage bungalow be updated sensitively?
Yes. The designer retains features like original doors, windows and floors and plans modern storage and lighting that complement them.
How is a multi-floor house quoted?
The estimate depends on built-up area, number of floors and how much custom carpentry is needed. A site visit is required to measure and assess conditions.
Should the formal living room match the family lounge?
They can differ in mood, but a shared palette of woods and metals keeps the house feeling connected.
Do you plan staff and service areas too?
Yes. Laundry, storage and service routes are planned so household staff can work efficiently without crossing formal spaces.
Can work continue while we live in the house?
Yes, with phasing. The team plans which floors or rooms are completed first so daily life is disrupted as little as possible.
