Home Renovation Interior Designers in Egmore
Many Egmore flats are in blocks that have stood for decades near the station, and renovating them is often about fixing what years of use and monsoon damp have done. A careful renovation designer here checks the walls, pipes and wiring before drawing a single cabinet.

Planning interiors in Egmore
A historic central neighbourhood with heritage buildings, older apartment blocks and a growing number of compact redevelopments near the railway hub.
- Seepage around bathrooms and kitchens is a common finding in older Egmore blocks, and it must be repaired before new carpentry or it will damage the work.
- Electrical systems in older flats often lack enough sockets for modern appliances, so rewiring or adding points is a typical part of renovation scope.
- Old wooden or masonry lofts may be damp or weak, and replacing them is often better than refinishing.
- Since many owners live in the flat during work, dust control and room-by-room sequencing are planned from the start.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Audit before you design
Ask for a written report on damp, wiring and plumbing before the design is finalised.
- 02
Fix leaks first
Waterproofing and plumbing repairs should be completed before any carpentry is installed.
- 03
Finalise electrical points early
Decide socket and switch positions before cabinets are made so nothing has to be cut later.
- 04
Avoid design changes after demolition
Lock the design before removing old units to prevent delays and extra costs.
- 05
Plan for living on site
If staying in the flat, agree on which rooms remain usable and how dust will be managed.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
How is a renovation estimate prepared?
The designer visits, audits the condition of walls, plumbing and wiring, and then prepares a design. Repairs are listed separately from interior carpentry.
What does a 2BHK renovation cost in Egmore?
The interior portion is approximately ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L in Basic, ₹2.5L – ₹4.7L in Premium and ₹2.9L – ₹5.5L in Ultra Premium, pre-GST. Repairs are added based on the audit.
Can old cupboards be reused?
Sometimes. If the structure is sound and dry, shutters can be replaced. Damp or weak units are usually better replaced.
Can I stay in the flat during renovation?
Often yes, with room-by-room work and dust control. For kitchen and heavy demolition days, staying elsewhere briefly can help.
What if hidden problems are found?
The designer will show you the issue and discuss options before continuing, so decisions remain yours.
