Home Renovation Interior Designers in Tambaram
Tambaram has a long-established core of independent houses near the railway station and in East and West Tambaram, many built well before the suburb's recent growth. Renovating them usually means dealing with older wiring, cement storage and sometimes damp, alongside the new interiors.

Planning interiors in Tambaram
A major southern suburb and rail hub on GST Road, with independent houses, villa communities and plenty of new apartments.
- Older independent houses in Tambaram often have cement almirahs and kitchen slabs that can sometimes be refitted rather than demolished.
- Wiring in older homes was rarely planned for multiple ACs and modern kitchen appliances, so electrical upgrades are often needed first.
- Medium moisture risk means damp near floors, bathrooms and roof slabs should be checked and treated before new carpentry.
- Many families renovate while living at home, so work is phased by room or floor with dust control planned.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can I renovate one floor at a time?
Yes. Floor-by-floor renovation is common in Tambaram independent houses and keeps part of the home usable.
Will old almirahs be removed?
Not always. Sound cement almirahs can be refitted with new shutters and internals, which saves cost.
Do you handle electrical and plumbing?
Elixir coordinates civil, electrical and plumbing work needed for the interior scope, confirmed in the site audit.
How is damp dealt with?
The designer identifies damp areas during the audit and recommends treatment before new carpentry goes in.
How long does renovation take?
It depends on repairs. Once civil work is done and the design approved, production typically takes 15–20 working days.
