Suntew Interior Design Studio — Basaveshwara Nagar, Bangalore
Suntew's Bangalore studio sits in Basaveshwara Nagar, a short drive from Rajajinagar and Malleswaram, and it's where every Bangalore project starts — not a call centre, not a WhatsApp-only setup, an actual studio you can walk into.
This page exists for one reason: if you're comparing Bangalore interior designers and want to see who you'd actually be working with before committing to anything, here's exactly where to find us, what we cover, and what a first visit looks like.
Where exactly is the Bangalore studio, and how do you get there?
The studio is on the 1st floor of Parvathamma Complex, 6th Main, LIG 1st Stage, KHB Colony, Basaveshwara Nagar, Bangalore – 560079. It's an easy landmark-based visit if you're coming from Rajajinagar or Malleswaram — KHB Colony is a well-known residential layout, and most auto drivers and delivery apps place it accurately.
We recommend calling ahead on +91 89515 00340 before visiting, simply so someone's free to walk you through current project photos and answer questions properly rather than you arriving mid-meeting.
Which parts of Bangalore does the studio actually serve?
Site visits are free anywhere in Bangalore — the studio location doesn't limit where we work. In practice, our most active areas include Whitefield, HSR Layout, Koramangala, JP Nagar, Jayanagar, Indiranagar, Marathahalli, Sarjapur Road, and Electronic City, alongside the neighbourhoods immediately around the studio itself: Rajajinagar, Malleswaram, and Vijayanagar.
If your flat is somewhere not listed here, it's very likely still covered — this is a representative list of where we're most active, not a hard boundary.
Does Bangalore's weather affect what gets specified for your home?
Yes, genuinely. Bangalore's monsoon runs roughly June through September with sustained high humidity, which is exactly why BWR-grade plywood is our minimum specification rather than an upgrade option — lower-grade material swells and warps within a couple of seasons in this climate. Our monsoon interior care guide goes into more depth on this if you're curious about the specifics before your consultation.
What if you're planning a full home versus a single room?
Both are common, and the process scales accordingly. A single-room project — just a kitchen, or just wardrobes — typically moves from consultation to installation in 3 to 4 weeks. A full home interior across a 2 or 3BHK runs 6 to 9 weeks, since it involves coordinating carpentry, electrical, painting, and false ceiling work across multiple rooms simultaneously rather than in isolation.
What can you actually see and discuss at the studio?
Real project photographs from completed Bangalore homes, not just render images. Material samples — plywood grades, laminate finishes, hardware brands — so you can see and feel what's actually being quoted rather than trusting a description. And a genuine conversation about your specific flat, budget, and timeline, without a sales script.
If you'd rather start with a site visit to your home instead of a studio visit, that's the more common path — most Bangalore clients have their first meeting at their own flat, with the studio visit happening later once material selection starts.
What actually happens during your first visit?
Most first meetings happen at your flat, not the studio — a designer visits, measures the actual space, and talks through how you use each room before any design work starts. If you'd rather start at the studio itself, that works too: you'll see material samples and real project photos, and we'll talk through your flat's layout from photos or a floor plan you bring.
Either way, nothing gets built on assumptions. The measurement stage exists specifically because a floor plan on paper and the actual space rarely match exactly — door swings, beam positions, and electrical points all get verified on site before the 3D design is finalised.
What should you bring to your first consultation?
- Your flat's sale agreement or floor plan — if you have it — it speeds up the carpet-area discussion significantly.
- Photos of your current space — especially problem areas: awkward corners, existing built-ins you're keeping or replacing.
- A rough budget range — not a fixed number necessarily, but a range helps the designer propose realistically rather than guessing.
- Reference photos or Pinterest boards — if you have a style in mind. It's far more useful than describing a look in words.
- Your actual daily routine details — how many people cook, whether you work from home, storage habits — this shapes the design more than most people expect.
How does pricing actually work once you've had your consultation?
After the site visit, you'll get a 3D design draft along with an itemised BOQ — bill of quantities — listing every material, brand, and quantity against each room, not a single lump-sum number. Interior work in India is taxed under GST, and current rates and classifications are published on the CBIC GST portal — we'll confirm whether your quote is GST-inclusive before you sign anything.
Payment is structured around project milestones — carcass completion, shutter fixing, final handover — rather than arbitrary calendar dates, and the handover date itself is written into the contract as a specific date, not a range.
What kind of Bangalore homes does the studio most commonly work on?
A large share of our Bangalore projects are 2 and 3BHK apartments in gated communities across Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, and Electronic City — newer construction with fairly standard layouts, where the main design decisions are around kitchen configuration, wardrobe storage, and lighting. Independent houses and older apartments in areas like Rajajinagar, Malleswaram, and Jayanagar tend to need more layout-specific planning, since room proportions and window placement vary far more than in a standardised builder-floor apartment.
If you're in a resale flat with an unclear renovation history, we'll ask to see the original sanctioned plan where possible, specifically to check whether a previous owner altered a wall or wet area without documentation — this matters more than people expect, and it's a genuinely common finding in older Bangalore apartments.
Are the materials shown at the studio actually to standard?
Plywood grades used in our projects are specified against BIS standards — BWR at minimum, BWP in kitchens and bathroom vanities — and this is named explicitly in your BOQ, not just described verbally at the studio. You're welcome to ask to see the specific grade markings on any plywood sample before agreeing to anything.
What does the Bangalore team actually offer?
Full home interiors, modular kitchens, wardrobe design, false ceiling and lighting, living room and bedroom design, and commercial interior work. Every quote is a fixed-price, itemised BOQ, signed before any work starts — no lump-sum estimates, no surprises at handover.
How does the Bangalore team handle modular kitchens specifically?
Kitchen design starts with how you actually cook, not a standard template. We ask about cooking style, storage habits, and whether the household typically has one or several people working in the kitchen at once, since that changes counter layout more than most people expect. Carcass material is BWP-grade plywood as standard — the highest moisture-resistant grade — with soft-close hinges and channels included by default, not as an upgrade.
What about wardrobe and storage design?
Sliding versus openable shutters comes down to room size — sliding wins in most Bangalore bedrooms simply because door-swing space is real floor space you'd otherwise lose. Internal configuration is planned around what you actually own: how many long garments, how much folded storage, whether you need a dedicated shoe section. Loft storage above the wardrobe is included as standard, since it's one of the most commonly underused spaces in a typical Bangalore bedroom.
Does the studio handle false ceiling and lighting design too?
Yes — false ceiling and lighting get planned together, not as separate line items, since the ceiling design determines where cove lighting and downlights can actually go. Our false ceiling design guide covers the material choices and cost breakdown in detail if you want to look at this before your visit.
Who will you actually meet at the studio?
You'll meet the designer assigned to your project directly, not a sales representative who hands you off afterward. The same person who does your site measurement and 3D design typically stays involved through material selection and execution, so you're not re-explaining your preferences to a new person at each stage.
How is renovating an existing Bangalore flat different from a new one?
A renovation almost always starts with removal and disposal — old cabinetry, flooring, sometimes tiling — before any new work begins, and that stage alone can take 3 to 5 days depending on how much is being replaced. It also means working around existing electrical points and plumbing lines rather than planning them from scratch, which sometimes limits where a kitchen sink or a wardrobe run can realistically go without additional civil work.
A new, unoccupied flat gives far more flexibility, since electrical and plumbing points can be planned around the final design rather than the design working around what's already there. If you're buying a resale flat specifically for renovation, it's worth getting a design consultation before you finalise the purchase decision — some layout problems are expensive to fix and worth knowing about in advance.
What's the typical range of project sizes the Bangalore studio takes on?
Projects range from a single modular kitchen in a 1BHK through to complete villa interiors, and the studio structures its team allocation accordingly — a single-room project gets one designer managing it start to finish, while a full villa interior typically has a lead designer plus a site coordinator handling day-to-day trade scheduling. Commercial projects, including office interiors and retail spaces, follow a similar structure with the coordinator role becoming more central given the trade complexity involved.
Does the studio work with builders on new construction, or only completed flats?
Both. For flats still under construction, we can coordinate directly with the builder's team on electrical and plumbing point placement before the civil work is finalised, which genuinely saves money compared to modifying points after possession. For already-completed flats, the process starts with the measurement and design stage described earlier in this page, since there's no builder coordination needed at that point.
What Bangalore clients say
"They came to our flat twice before presenting the design — once to measure, once to show us the 3D renders on a laptop at the actual site so we could see how the natural light would interact with the colours. Nobody else does this. The final home matched the design exactly."
"Suntew's kitchen is the best purchase we've made since buying the flat. They asked us about our actual cooking habits, which we'd never been asked by any other designer or contractor, and the kitchen actually works the way we cook."
Suntew's Expert Take
The Bangalore studio has been the base for Suntew's work across the city since 2020, and every design decision — from plywood grade to lighting plan — gets made with Bangalore's specific climate and building patterns in mind, not a generic national template. If you're planning a visit, calling ahead means someone's ready with the right project examples for your specific flat type.
