Direct Answer: The complete turnkey interior design cost for a 1 BHK flat (450 to 650 sq ft) in Chennai ranges between ₹2,20,000 to ₹3,50,000. This includes a compact straight or L-shaped modular kitchen, a full bedroom wardrobe with loft, a space-saving living room TV unit, and essential shoe storage.
Making Every Square Foot Count in a 1 BHK Flat
1 BHK flats are popular among young professionals, studio investors, and retired couples across Chennai’s suburban corridors like Tambaram, Chromepet, and OMR. In a 500 sq ft footprint, poor design creates instant clutter. The objective is to maximize vertical storage while keeping floor walkways open.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a 1 BHK fit a dedicated dining table?
Instead of a bulky 4-seater dining table, we recommend a fold-down wall-mounted breakfast bar or an extended kitchen peninsula counter that doubles as a laptop desk.
How long does 1 BHK interior execution take?
Because all cabinets are precision-cut in our factory, on-site assembly for a 1 BHK takes just 15 to 20 working days.
