Chennai-specific interior design notes
Chennai's climate (hot and humid) influences material choices. Designers experienced in the local market prefer moisture-resistant plywood grades, well-ventilated storage, and materials that withstand humidity. Teak and teak-finish veneers remain popular in Chennai's older residential areas. OMR and Perungudi have newer high-rise stock with contemporary design demand.
