What Interiors Really Cost in Chennai
Most studios hide behind a vague estimate. We would rather show you the arithmetic. Start with the estimator below: set your scope and finish and it returns a range for your own home, in two minutes and before anyone visits your site. Then the rest of this guide explains what each range buys, what moves it, and how to pay for it — and a free site assessment turns the range into an itemised quote.
Instant estimate
Your home, in a range
Set your scope and finish and the estimator returns a range, itemised line by line — never a single confident number it has no right to. Two minutes, no site visit, no obligation.

Calendar
How long it takes
Factory production and site work run in parallel, which is why the total below is shorter than the sum of its phases. These are planning targets we hold ourselves to, stated as targets — not a guarantee dressed up as one.
| Phase | 1 BHK | 2 BHK | 3 BHK | 4 BHK | Villa G+1 | Villa G+2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Calendar days, with factory and site work running in parallel — which is why the total is less than the column sum. Planning targets, not promises: your operations team confirms the schedule at kickoff.

The fine print, up front
What the number includes
The fastest way to be disappointed by an interior quote is to assume what is in it. Here is both halves — what we quote, and what is quoted separately — for the two scopes people ask about most.

Paying for it
Spread it, comfortably
EMI options run up to 24 months, with no-cost EMI on select plans. As a worked example: ₹3.5L over 18 months is roughly ₹19,444 a month*. The exact plan, and any terms attached to it, are set out in writing before you commit — never assumed.

Each of these is the same guide, written for one scope — with the ranges, inclusions and questions specific to it.
Straight answers
Before you ask
How much does home interior cost in Chennai?
Starting prices are ₹4.5 lakh for a 2BHK, ₹6.5 lakh for a 3BHK and ₹8.5 lakh for a 4BHK. Final costs depend on scope, site conditions and finishes; request a measured, itemised quote.
What is included in your interior packages?
Scope varies by home and package. Kitchen, wardrobes and TV units are common inclusions; civil work, appliances and loose furniture may be quoted separately in the itemised estimate.
Do you offer EMI or no-cost EMI?
Ask the team about current payment and finance options for your project; availability and terms depend on the selected plan.
Why is the price shown as a starting price?
The final quote depends on measurements, site requirements, materials and chosen scope. A site visit allows us to prepare an itemised quote.
Is the 3D design and quote free?
Contact RGL Decors to confirm the consultation and design scope for your project before proceeding.
First principles
Three things move the number
Everything else is detail. Understand these three and you can read any interior quote in Chennai — ours included — and know whether it is honest.
- 01
Scope
How many rooms, and how much of each one. A kitchen and two wardrobes is a different project from a full home — and should be a different conversation.
- 02
Finish
The single biggest lever. The same wardrobe in laminate, in acrylic and in veneer are three different prices for the same carcass.
- 03
Site
What your walls, floors and services actually need before anything can be fitted. This is what a site visit is for, and why an honest figure waits for one.
