House Decors

Interior design FAQs for Chennai homes.

In short

Straight answers to 35 questions Chennai homeowners ask before doing their interiors: what 2, 3 and 4 BHK interiors cost, how long they take, which plywood to use, which areas we cover and how payments work. Every answer starts with the short version.

Cost and packages

How much does a 2 BHK interior cost in Chennai?

With House Decors, 2 BHK interiors start at ₹3,18,500 (Silver), ₹3,98,500 (Gold) and ₹4,38,500 (Platinum). The final price depends on your floor plan, the rooms included and the materials you choose. Compare the tiers on our packages page or read more about 2 BHK interior design in Chennai.

How much does a 3 BHK interior cost in Chennai?

3 BHK packages start at ₹4,23,500 (Silver), ₹5,28,500 (Gold) and ₹6,46,500 (Platinum). Larger rooms and an extra bedroom's wardrobe are the main reasons a 3 BHK costs more than a 2 BHK. Your exact quote follows a site visit and design discussion.

How much do 4 BHK and villa interiors cost?

4 BHK packages start at ₹5,38,500 (Silver), ₹6,28,500 (Gold) and ₹7,78,500 (Platinum), with a larger 4 BHK Package 2 from ₹9,18,500. Villas are quoted per project. Villas vary too much in floor area, room count and customisation for a fixed package, so we walk the property with you and prepare a scope and quotation for your home.

What is the difference between Silver, Gold and Platinum?

The tiers differ in materials, not in service. Silver uses MR plywood, 0.8mm matt laminate, standard kitchen wire baskets and no lights. Gold uses BWR plywood, 1mm high gloss laminate, Ebco 304 stainless steel baskets and spot lights. Platinum uses BWP plywood, acrylic finish, Hettich tandem boxes and LED profile lights. All three include 3D design, our in-house team and a 10-year warranty. Compare them side by side.

Are the package prices fixed?

No. They are starting prices. Your final quote depends on your home's size and layout, the rooms included, the materials tier and any custom work. Once you approve the design, the quotation is confirmed before work starts.

What decides the final cost of home interiors?

Four things: your floor plan, the rooms you include, the materials tier and any custom work. Longer walls mean more cabinetry. More rooms mean more wardrobes. Higher tiers use better boards, finishes and hardware. Custom items such as false ceilings or civil changes are added only when you need them.

How much does a modular kitchen cost in Chennai?

It depends on your kitchen's size, layout and hardware, so we quote it after seeing the kitchen. A modular kitchen is part of every package, and the tier decides the plywood, finish and hardware used. If you only want a kitchen done, share its measurements or a photo of your floor plan and we'll quote it. See our kitchen services.

How do payments work?

Payments are made in four stages: 10%, 70%, 15% and 5%, tied to project progress. The exact milestone for each stage is set out in your quotation and our terms and conditions.

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. The first consultation is free. It starts with a phone call with our founder, R. Udaya Kumar, followed by a face-to-face meeting. Call +91 98400 49606 or send your details.

Process and timeline

How long do home interiors take in Chennai?

House Decors works to a 49-day delivery promise. The exact timeline is confirmed once your design, scope and materials are final. Clients have written in Google reviews that handover was done within a month and completed well before the committed date. See the full process.

When should I start planning interiors for a new flat?

Start design discussions before you get the keys. Design, 3D views and approvals can be done while your flat is still being handed over, so work on site can begin soon after you have access. Share your handover date on the first call and we'll plan backwards from it.

What is the first step?

A phone call with our founder and Managing Director, R. Udaya Kumar. That's followed by a face-to-face meeting to understand your home, the rooms you want done, your budget and your move-in date.

Will I see the design before work starts?

Yes. You see layouts and 3D views before anything is built. You can ask for changes, and nothing is made until you approve the final design, materials and quotation together.

Can I change the design after approving it?

Small changes are usually possible, but changes after work starts can affect cost and timeline. That's why we finalise the design, materials and quote together before execution. Raise any doubts during the design stage, when changes are easy.

Do I need to be at the site during the work?

No, but you're welcome to visit whenever you like. Our project coordinator manages the site day to day and our founder visits during execution. If you can't come, we keep you updated.

What should I prepare before the first call?

Nothing is required, but a floor plan, the rooms you want done, a budget range and your move-in date help a lot. Kitchen appliance sizes and a few reference photos of rooms you like are useful too. See the full checklist on how it works.

Materials

Which plywood is best for a kitchen in Chennai?

BWP (boiling water proof) plywood is the most water-resistant choice, especially for the sink cabinet. BWR also works well for kitchens. Chennai's humidity and daily kitchen steam are hard on boards. MR plywood is better kept for dry areas such as bedroom wardrobes. Our Gold package uses BWR and Platinum uses BWP. More in our materials guide.

What do MR, BWR and BWP plywood mean?

MR is moisture resistant, BWR is boiling water resistant and BWP is boiling water proof, in increasing order of water resistance. MR suits dry indoor areas, BWR suits kitchens and units that face steam, and BWP suits places with frequent water contact. These grades are defined by Bureau of Indian Standards specifications.

Laminate or acrylic: which finish should I choose?

Laminate is durable and budget-friendly. Acrylic gives a deeper, high-gloss, mirror-like finish at a higher cost. Our Silver package uses 0.8mm matt laminate, Gold uses 1mm high gloss laminate and Platinum uses acrylic.

Which hardware brands do you use?

Our Gold package uses Ebco 304 stainless steel wire baskets and Platinum uses Hettich tandem boxes. Silver uses standard wire baskets. You can read about the brands on the Ebco and Hettich websites.

How do I choose the right interior designer in Chennai?

Check four things: who actually does the work, which materials are written into the quote, the warranty, and recent reviews. Ask whether execution is in-house or outsourced, get plywood grade, laminate and hardware brands in writing, confirm the warranty period, and read reviews with photos from real homes. You can check all four for us on our about page, packages page and Google profile.
