Bangalore is a cosmopolitan "maximum" city where luxurious villas, compact 800-square-foot apartments, and smaller nano-homes coexist in style. They are well-known for making the most of their limited square footage.
Bangalore residents enjoy a healthy dose of contemporary interior design, artwork, vintage, and chic elements. At the same time, they want their homes to reflect their personal style and stories.
Houz Craft experienced designers share their top interior design trends for Bangalore in 2022.
Interior Design That Saves Space
With the city's sky-high real estate prices, Bangalore residents appreciate smart, space-saving interior design tips and tricks for making the most of every square inch of their homes. There is no wasted space, including under the stairs, beneath the bed, or even beneath a coffee table.
In their living rooms, coffee tables with nested stools and storage, sofas with storage, and retractable wall beds and tables are very popular. Extendable and folding dining tables are popular in dining rooms.
A wall-mounted table or two, as well as a roll-out table under the kitchen island, provide extra counter space when needed. Vertical shelving provides additional storage space for cutlery, groceries, and other items.
Furniture with Multiple Functions
Bangalore adores multi-functional furniture. It could be a coffee table that also serves as a laptop table, a sofa that also serves as a bed, and so on. There are also some very creative ideas, such as bamboo folding room dividers with removable shelves, sofa end tables that double as laptop tables, dressing room mirrors that hide make-up cabinets behind them, and so on. You'll also notice the use of ottomans and footstools as seating options when there are a lot of people.
Brighter Wall Colors
Whites and beige are still popular, but Bangalore homes appear to prefer darker, brighter colors on their walls. Grey, deep blue, olive green, and even black walls with a variety of moody undertones have become a new favorite here. Accent walls in crimson, rani pink, or sunshine yellow are common in some homes. Wallpapers in ethnic and modern patterns are also popular in Bangalore homes.
Brighter Kitchen Colors
Black kitchens are popular, as are those with brightly colored cabinets. Even a splash of color in a neutral or steel kitchen has made an appearance in Bangalore homes. Colorful backsplash tiles and eye-catching patterned flooring are also popular.
Décor is simple and modern.
The majority of newer Bangalore homes feature contemporary décor with clean lines – though not always minimalistic. They prefer a mix of minimalist and maximalist decorating styles. There is a lot of texture and pattern, and the colors are limited to three or four shades.
Furniture with a Statement
Brighter, bolder furniture has made its way into Bangalore's home's living rooms and dining rooms. Statement pieces could include a stunning red or blue sofa, a bold patterned yet cozy wingback chair, a plush velvet 70s sofa, or a distressed wood four-poster bed in the bedroom. Designer labels' unique statement pieces also find their way into their homes.
Not Wasting Any Room
The space beneath the stairs is frequently transformed into an organized storage area or a craft corner. Open balconies are also frequently enclosed to create a small home office or an extended living room. A narrow shoe rack will fit in a narrow foyer. Some walls could also be converted into floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
A Blend of Ethnic and Contemporary Accents
The eclectic Bangaloreans enjoy mixing it up. They prefer modern accents but also enjoy displaying their travel treasures, vintage memorabilia, and family heirlooms. So don't be surprised if one room has a modern geometric sculpture and another has a couple of traditional puppets hanging on the wall. There is a mix of eclectic artwork, vintage and sleek mirrors, and ornate clocks.
