Home Renovation Interior Designers in Pallavaram
Some of Pallavaram's homes have stood for decades, from older independent houses to homes in and around the cantonment, and they often come with high ceilings, solid old doors and wiring from another era. Elixir's renovation designers begin with a thorough site audit, then plan updates that respect the house while bringing services and storage up to date.

Planning interiors in Pallavaram
A southern suburb next to the airport, with independent houses, cantonment areas and growing apartment development.
- Older Pallavaram houses can have higher ceilings and solid wooden doors that are worth retaining and refinishing.
- Wiring in older homes often needs upgrading for air conditioners, chimneys and modern appliances.
- Renovations here are a good moment to fit heavier window treatments and better-sealed shutters in rooms facing aircraft noise.
- Families often live on site during renovation, so phasing and dust control are planned upfront.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Walk the house with the designer
Spend an hour going room by room with the designer, opening old cupboards and switching on every point, so hidden problems surface before any quote.
- 02
Shortlist what deserves refinishing
Old teak doors, window frames and solid almirahs in Pallavaram houses are often worth sanding and polishing rather than replacing with new boards.
- 03
Rewire for today's load
Ask an electrician to check whether the old wiring can carry air conditioners, a chimney and a geyser together, and upgrade it before carpentry hides the walls.
- 04
Fit noise comfort into the plan
While walls are open, add ceiling curtain tracks and choose solid shutters for bedrooms that face the runway side, instead of retrofitting later.
- 05
Sign off drawings before breaking anything
Approve the full layout and material list before demolition starts, because changing direction once walls are opened costs time and money.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Is it worth keeping the old teak doors in our Pallavaram house?
Often yes. Solid old doors and frames can be repaired, sanded and polished to suit the new interiors, which keeps the house's character and avoids paying for new doors.
Our house has high ceilings. Does that change the renovation plan?
It helps. Higher ceilings allow taller wardrobes and deeper lofts, but they also need longer curtain drops and careful lighting, which the designer plans during the audit.
Can the family keep living in the house while work goes on?
In many cases, yes. The designer sequences the work so one part of the house stays usable, with dust screens and a clear order of rooms agreed in advance.
How does Elixir price a renovation compared with a new flat?
Carpentry follows the package ranges, while demolition, rewiring, plumbing and wall repairs are listed separately after inspection, so you can see what the house itself needs.
Is renovation a good time to deal with aircraft noise?
Yes. It is far easier to add ceiling curtain tracks, solid shutters and soft furnishings while other work is under way than to retrofit them into a finished home.
