Planning interiors in Thiruvanmiyur
A residential neighbourhood at the start of ECR and close to OMR, popular with IT professionals who want a beach-side address.
- Many investors furnish flats for rental to IT professionals, so hard-wearing laminates and standard module sizes keep costs low and repairs simple.
- Even on a budget, BWP ply under the kitchen sink is worth keeping because the high moisture risk here punishes cheaper boards in wet areas.
- Older flats can sometimes reuse existing concrete lofts with new shutters, which is one of the most effective ways to cut carpentry cost.
- Choosing standard sizes for wardrobes and kitchen modules reduces wastage and keeps the Basic package within range.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
List must-haves and nice-to-haves
Start with kitchen and wardrobes, then add TV units, ceilings and decor as the budget allows.
- 02
Spend on hardware first
Keep good hinges and channels in daily-use cabinets even if you choose simpler finishes.
- 03
Limit custom units
Too many small custom pieces add up quickly; standard modules are more economical.
- 04
Phase the work
Plan stage two items, such as a false ceiling or study, so they can be added later without rework.
- 05
Choose finishes by durability
Pick laminates that resist scratches and moisture rather than choosing only by showroom look.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
What is the budget for a basic 2BHK here?
A typical 2BHK in Basic costs approximately ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L, pre-GST. The final figure depends on how many rooms you include and the finishes and accessories you choose.
Where should I not cut costs?
Keep good hardware in kitchens and wardrobes, and moisture-resistant ply in wet areas. Cheaper hinges and boards tend to fail first in Thiruvanmiyur's humid air.
Can I upgrade only the kitchen?
Yes. Many clients choose Basic for the home and Premium for the kitchen, which gives better durability where it matters most without raising the whole budget.
Is a rental flat worth furnishing?
Furnishing the kitchen and wardrobes can help attract tenants in this IT-heavy area. Durable laminates and simple designs are practical choices for rentals.
How can I avoid surprise costs?
Ask for an itemised quote, avoid design changes after production starts, and get a site check for wiring and damp before work begins.
