Home Renovation Interior Designers in Velachery
Velachery has a large stock of apartments built well before the area's recent growth, and many of them now have tired cupboards, dated wiring and the occasional damp wall. Renovating one is less about picking new finishes and more about finding out what sits behind the old ones, which is where Elixir's renovation process begins.

Planning interiors in Velachery
A fast-grown residential and retail hub with dense apartment stock, Phoenix MarketCity and good access to both OMR and Guindy.
- Older blocks in low-lying parts of Velachery often show seepage at skirting level or on bathroom-shared walls, and new cabinets fixed over untreated damp tend to fail early.
- Electrical layouts in older flats rarely match today's needs for ACs, chimneys, induction hobs and charging points, so upgrading points before carpentry avoids cutting into new units later.
- Many renovation clients here stay in the flat during the work, which means rooms are handled in phases and dust control matters as much as the design.
- Wall levels in older apartments can be uneven, which needs checking before tall wardrobes or wall paneling are fabricated in the factory.

Plan smarter
Five ways to keep your budget on track
- 01
Insist on a site audit first
Any quote given without inspecting walls, wiring and plumbing is a guess. A proper audit reveals hidden repairs before the budget is fixed.
- 02
Decide reuse versus replace room by room
A sound granite platform or a solid old teak door can often stay. Listing what to keep early keeps the scope honest.
- 03
Finish civil work before carpentry
Let seepage treatment, rewiring and plastering cure fully before modular units arrive, so new boards are not exposed to moisture.
- 04
Freeze the design before demolition
Changing plans after walls are opened adds cost and delay. Approve layouts and finishes before any breaking starts.
- 05
Plan for living on site
If the family stays in during work, agree on which rooms go first and how dust and noise are contained for children and elders.

FAQ
Questions homeowners ask
Still unsure? Our designers are happy to answer anything on a call.
Can I renovate one room at a time?
Yes. Phased renovation is common for families living on site. The designer plans the whole home first so later phases match the earlier ones.
Do you handle civil and electrical work as well?
Elixir coordinates civil, electrical and plumbing changes needed for the interior scope. The extent is assessed during the site audit.
How do I know if my walls have moisture damage?
Signs include peeling paint, white patches near the floor and a musty smell in cupboards. The designer checks these during the audit and recommends treatment before new units go in.
Will old cement lofts have to be removed?
Not always. If they are structurally sound and positioned well, they can be fitted with new shutters. Otherwise removal gives cleaner, more usable storage.
How long does a renovation take?
It depends on repair scope. Once civil work is done and the design is approved, factory production typically takes 15–20 working days before installation.
