Space-Saving Interior Designers in Villivakkam
Older Villivakkam flats were built when families owned far fewer things, so many feel cramped today even when the carpet area is reasonable. A space-saving designer here finds storage in places that are usually ignored, such as above passages and doors, under windows and along narrow halls.

Planning interiors in Villivakkam
A residential neighbourhood next to Anna Nagar with a mix of older homes and newer apartment buildings.
- Many older Villivakkam flats already have concrete lofts above passages or doors, which can be fitted with shutters to create neat, usable storage.
- Deep windowsills in older buildings can become window seats with storage underneath, adding seating and drawers in one piece.
- Narrow halls here suit wall-mounted fold-down dining tables that close flat when not in use.
- Water purifiers, inverters and routers often clutter small homes, and planned niches keep them tidy.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Shutter the existing lofts
If your flat has concrete lofts over doors or passages, add shutters to turn them into clean storage.
- 02
Build a window seat
Use a deep sill for a seat with drawers below, which adds both seating and storage.
- 03
Fold the dining table
A wall-mounted fold-down table frees the hall when meals are done.
- 04
Plan niches for appliances
Give the purifier, inverter and router planned spots so they do not crowd counters and floors.
- 05
Leave walkways clear
Keep enough space around beds and in passages so the home stays comfortable to move through.

Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
