Interior Designers in Sahakar Nagar, Bangalore

Interior designers in Sahakar Nagar for lived-in homes

Sahakar Nagar is an established neighbourhood, and many of its homes are independent houses that families have lived in for years. The structure is solid and the location is not going anywhere; what has aged is the inside — wardrobes that no longer close properly, a living room planned before large TVs, a pooja corner squeezed into a shelf, tube lights on a plain slab ceiling.

As interior designers in Sahakar Nagar, most of what we are asked to do is a refresh of a home that is still being lived in. That calls for a different approach from a new flat: working around the family's routine, reusing what is still good, and tackling the rooms in an order that keeps the house usable. Our office in Yelahanka New Town is nearby, so the site team and designer can be at your home quickly when needed.

Refreshing an established home

Older independent houses have features newer flats do not: higher ceilings in some rooms and lower ones in others, thick load-bearing walls, windows in places a modern layout would not put them, and good solid-wood furniture that the family wants to keep. A good design works with these rather than fighting them — using the height for a false ceiling with cove lighting, building storage into deep window reveals, and designing new joinery to sit comfortably next to an old teak cabinet.

The pooja room deserves its own mention. In many homes it is the room the family cares most about getting right: the orientation, the material, space for lamps and for sitting, and ventilation for the smoke from a daily lamp. We design it early, not as an afterthought once the wardrobes are done.
