Planning interiors in Virugambakkam
A residential neighbourhood along Arcot Road between Vadapalani and Valasaravakkam, with compact apartments and family homes.
- Lifts in older Virugambakkam blocks are often small, so tall wardrobe panels are made in sections and joined on site rather than carried up as single pieces.
- New buildings usually hand over an electrical drawing, but older blocks often do not. In those flats the designer records every point during measurement before planning TV walls and kitchen units.
- Compact rooms here benefit from lighter laminates that reduce visual weight, while darker tones are kept for a single accent surface.
- Utility balconies in these apartments are narrow, so a tall, slim unit for cleaning supplies works better than a wide cabinet that blocks the washing machine.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Share the lift dimensions
Give the designer the lift door width and car depth. Panel sizes are then planned to fit, avoiding on-site cutting that weakens edges.
- 02
Get or map the electrical layout
Hand over the builder's drawing if you have one. If not, ask for points to be mapped at measurement so units line up with sockets.
- 03
Keep compact rooms light
Choose lighter shutters for wardrobes and lofts. They make small bedrooms feel larger without changing the layout.
- 04
Use slim storage on the utility balcony
A tall, narrow cabinet holds detergents and brooms without crowding the washing machine or the drying space.
- 05
Check association rules before scheduling
Ask about permitted work hours, lift booking and debris rules so installation days are not interrupted.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
What if wardrobe panels do not fit in my building's lift?
The designer plans wardrobes in sections that fit the lift and are assembled on site. Joints are placed where they are least visible.
Do older apartments here need extra work?
Often yes, such as replacing old switchboards or repairing walls. The designer checks during the site visit and lists any such work separately.
Can I begin designing before possession?
Yes. Layouts can be prepared from the floor plan and confirmed with on-site measurements once the flat is handed over.
What does a 2BHK apartment typically cost here?
Approximately ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L in Basic before GST. Lofts, kitchen accessories and finishes chosen will place you within or above that range.
Are heavy wall-mounted units safe in older flats?
The designer checks wall type and strength first. Where walls are thin, lighter units or floor-supported designs are suggested instead.
