Home Renovation Interior Designers in Kolathur
Renovation in Kolathur is often prompted by the monsoon: kitchen cabinets that swelled after water entered, wardrobes that smell musty or sockets that sit too low on a ground floor. A renovation designer here plans to fix the cause first, so the new interiors do not suffer the same fate.

Planning interiors in Kolathur
A growing north Chennai residential area with many new apartments and independent houses near Anna Nagar.
- Ground-floor homes in low-lying Kolathur streets sometimes have sockets close to the floor, and raising them during renovation reduces risk if water enters again.
- Swollen particle-board cabinets are a common reason for kitchen renovations here, and they are usually replaced with BWP plywood or HDHMR carcasses.
- Damp conditions can attract termites, so inspection and treatment before new woodwork is installed is a sensible step in older Kolathur homes.
- Walls that have been wet need time and treatment to dry properly before new wardrobes or panels are fixed against them.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Find the source of the damp
Ask the designer to identify whether moisture comes from the floor, a wall or plumbing before planning new units.
- 02
Raise low sockets on ground floors
Move switchboards and sockets higher where water has entered before, as part of the electrical work.
- 03
Replace swollen boards entirely
Do not reuse cabinets that have swelled; replace them with moisture-resistant carcasses.
- 04
Treat for termites
Inspect and treat walls and floors before new woodwork goes in.
- 05
Allow walls to dry
Give treated walls time to dry before installation, and agree on this in the schedule.
