Room-by-room 2BHK planning
Every Chennai 2BHK is slightly different — but the rooms are always the same. Here is how Homeli approaches each space to maximise function and visual impact within your floor plan.
Living Room
140–200 sqft. A well-designed TV unit wall, false ceiling with ambient cove lighting, and a combined dining setup in a cohesive palette. Most Chennai 2BHKs share living and dining in one open space.
Modular Kitchen
Usually 60–90 sqft. L-shaped or straight layout with maximum storage, chimney, granite or engineered stone countertop and soft-close shutters. The highest-use room in any 2BHK.
Master Bedroom
120–160 sqft. Full wardrobe wall (8–10 ft), false ceiling with cove lighting and a statement headboard feature wall. Prioritise ventilation and blackout curtain tracks here.
Second Bedroom
100–130 sqft. Wardrobe, study desk and flexible design — doubles as a kids' room, home office or guest room. Design it for multiple uses so it stays relevant as life changes.
Toilets
Typically 2 toilets in a 2BHK. Tile work, vanity, shower partition, accessories and exhaust. Simple but transformative with the right tiles, hardware and lighting colour temperature.
Foyer / Entrance
20–40 sqft. Shoe rack, mirror and a small console table make the first impression. Foyer storage is the single biggest clutter-prevention investment in a 2BHK — often overlooked.
What to prioritise in a 2BHK
You do not have to do everything at once. Here is how to allocate budget where it creates the most lasting value.
- Kitchen + master bedroom wardrobe — the highest ROI investments. Used every day, and they add the most resale and rental value to your apartment.
- Do not over-invest in the living room if you are planning to rent the property. A clean TV unit and fresh paint is enough for rental.
- Second bedroom wardrobe is essential if you have children. Under-bed storage and a study desk make the room fully functional as a kids' room.
- Foyer shoe rack and mirror — most ignored and most regretted when skipped. Prevents sandal chaos at the entrance and sets the tone for the rest of the home.
- False ceiling in the living room adds the most visual premium per rupee spent. Cove lighting makes any 2BHK feel significantly larger and more designed.
- Toilets — plan the tile layout before execution. The wrong tile size in a small toilet makes the space feel cramped. Larger tiles with fewer grout lines open it up.
