Home Renovation Interior Designers in Selaiyur
Selaiyur has many family houses built well before the recent apartment wave, often with cement lofts, wooden almirahs and wiring sized for a fan and a fridge. Renovating them is less about a new look and more about deciding what is still sound. Elixir starts every Selaiyur renovation with a site audit so the quote reflects what is behind the walls.

Planning interiors in Selaiyur
A residential suburb east of Tambaram with independent homes, villa layouts and new apartments.
- Older Selaiyur houses commonly have cement lofts and shelves cast into walls; some can take new shutters, while cracked ones are better removed before fresh carpentry.
- Electrical loads have grown with air conditioners, induction hobs and water heaters, so rewiring and a new distribution board often come before any wardrobe or kitchen work.
- Medium moisture risk means seepage near bathrooms and on external walls should be treated and allowed to dry before plywood is fixed against them.
- Many renovations here happen while the family lives in the house, so dust screens, a working kitchen arrangement and a room-by-room sequence need planning upfront.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Insist on a site audit
Do not accept a renovation quote without someone checking walls, wiring and plumbing; hidden repairs are where budgets slip.
- 02
List what you want to keep
Mark furniture, doors and fittings you are attached to so the designer can plan around them or refinish them.
- 03
Fix services before finishes
Upgrade wiring and plumbing first, then carpentry, so new wardrobes never have to be opened up later.
- 04
Freeze the design before demolition
Changing layouts after walls come down adds labour and delay; settle the plan before any breaking starts.
- 05
Plan for dust and noise
Agree which rooms stay usable each week and how dust will be contained, especially with elders or children at home.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Why do I need a site audit before a renovation quote?
Because the condition of walls, wiring and plumbing decides how much preparation is needed. Without an audit, a quote either hides those costs or misses them, and both lead to surprises later.
Can we stay at home during the renovation?
Often, yes. We sequence work room by room, keep one area usable for cooking or sleeping and use dust screens. A kitchen renovation usually needs a short temporary arrangement.
Can my old wooden almirah be reused?
If the wood is sound, it can be refinished or built into the new design. The designer checks it for termites and damage before suggesting this.
Do you handle electrical and plumbing changes?
Yes. We coordinate these as part of the renovation so new points match the new layout. Upgrading services before carpentry avoids opening finished units later.
How is renovation cost different from a new home?
Carpentry is priced similarly, but renovation adds demolition, repairs and service upgrades. For reference, a Selaiyur 2BHK fit-out is approximately ₹2.1L – ₹3.9L in Basic before these extras.
