Interior designer in Salt Lake for flats and older houses
From 1980s houses in the residential blocks to newer apartments, we plan Salt Lake interiors that fix what's tired and add the storage your family needs.
Working as an interior designer in Salt Lake means working with two very different kinds of home. On one side are the independent houses in the residential blocks of Sectors I, II and III, many built decades ago and now ready for a proper refresh. On the other are apartments and flats, from older walk-ups to newer buildings. Both need careful planning, and both have their own problems to solve first.
Homes in Salt Lake
Salt Lake (Bidhannagar) was planned as a residential township, so many homes here are spacious by Kolkata standards. What we commonly find:
- Independent houses with high ceilings, large rooms and old built-in almirahs that no longer work.
- Damp on ground-floor walls and around old bathrooms, which must be treated before any panelling goes up.
- Old wiring that can't handle air-conditioners, a chimney and modern lighting together.
- Flats with layouts from a different era: closed kitchens, small bathrooms and no space planned for a fridge or washing machine.
Common requests in Salt Lake
Most enquiries we get from Salt Lake fall into a few groups:
- Full-house renovation for a family home that is being updated for the next generation.
- Modular kitchen in Salt Lake homes, often replacing a cement-slab kitchen with a proper layout and a chimney.
- Wardrobes and lofts to replace old steel almirahs and wooden cupboards.
- A proper thakur ghar with marble or wooden mandir, storage for puja items and good ventilation for the diya.
- Flat interior design in Salt Lake for those who have bought or inherited an apartment and want it modern and easy to maintain.
How we work in Salt Lake
For older homes, the first site visit is longer. We check walls for damp, look at the condition of the ceiling and floor, and test whether the wiring needs replacing. Then we plan in the right order: civil and electrical work first, then false ceiling and flooring, then furniture and finishing. If the family is living in the house during the work, we plan room by room so you always have a usable kitchen and bedroom.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do interior designers in Salt Lake Kolkata handle old house renovation?
Yes. We handle damp treatment, electrical rewiring, flooring and bathroom work along with the interiors, so you deal with one team instead of several contractors.
How do I choose the best interior designer in Salt Lake?
Ask for an itemised quote, the exact ply and hardware brands, and a visit to a finished home. For older houses, make sure the designer checks for damp and wiring before quoting.
Can you design a modular kitchen in an older Salt Lake house?
Yes. We usually remove the old slab, fix the plumbing and wiring, and fit a modular kitchen in BWP ply. Odd wall angles and old windows are common, so we measure carefully on site.
Can we stay at home while the work happens?
Often, yes. We plan the work room by room so you always have a working kitchen and at least one usable bedroom.
