Home Renovation Interior Designers in Porur
Before the IT boom, Porur was a quieter suburb of independent houses and small apartment blocks, and many of those homes are now due for an overhaul. Renovating them is mostly about what you cannot see at first, such as wiring from another era or walls that have absorbed years of lake-side damp.

Planning interiors in Porur
A western residential and IT hub around the Porur junction and DLF IT park, with many new apartments and gated communities.
- Older independent houses around Porur often have cement lofts and built-in shelves, which can sometimes be refitted with new shutters instead of being broken out.
- Electrical systems in homes built a couple of decades ago were not planned for multiple ACs, induction cooking or home offices, so rewiring is often the first renovation step.
- Homes close to the lake or in lower-lying streets may show seepage near the floor or behind old cupboards, which must be treated before new carpentry goes in.
- Families renovating here often continue to live in the house, so work is usually phased by room and dust control is planned from day one.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Start with an honest site audit
Ask the designer to inspect wiring, plumbing and walls before quoting. Hidden repairs found later are what usually blow a renovation budget.
- 02
Separate repair work from design work
List civil, electrical and plumbing items apart from carpentry. It makes the quote easier to understand and to adjust.
- 03
Keep what still works
A solid teak door, a sound granite platform or a well-placed loft can stay. Deciding this early reduces both cost and demolition.
- 04
Let repairs dry before carpentry
Plastering and seepage treatment need time to cure. Installing new boards too soon can trap moisture behind them.
- 05
Agree the phase plan with the family
Decide which rooms go first and where the family will stay during work, especially when children or elders are at home.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can I renovate only the kitchen and bedrooms?
Yes. A focused renovation is common. The designer still checks the wider home so that later work does not clash with what is done now.
Will my old wooden furniture be reused?
If it is in good condition, it can be refinished or worked into the new design. The designer will suggest what is worth keeping during the audit.
How is dust managed while we live at home?
Work is phased room by room, with covered openings and daily cleaning. The designer plans the sequence so at least one bedroom and the kitchen stay usable.
Do you handle electrical and plumbing changes?
Elixir coordinates the electrical, plumbing and civil work needed for the interior scope, and the extent is confirmed during the site audit.
How long will the renovation take?
It depends on the repairs involved. Once civil work is finished and the design approved, factory production typically takes 15–20 working days before installation.
