Interior designers in Bangalore, for homes that last
Barebase is a luxury interior design studio in Bengaluru. We design complete interiors for 3BHK and 4BHK apartments, penthouses, villas and independent homes, show you every room in 3D, give you an itemised quote and build it with our own teams. 180+ clients and 35+ awards over 14 years.
How much does interior design cost? It is customised to you.
There is no package or rate card at Barebase. We customise every space to the needs of the people who live or work in it, so your cost comes from your home, not a price list.

What does an interior designer in Bangalore actually do for you?
A good interior designer turns a bare apartment or villa into a finished home, and takes responsibility for how it gets built. At Barebase that means a site visit and a written brief, space planning for every room, 3D views you sign off, working drawings for every wall and cabinet, an itemised quote, and a site team that builds it. You have one point of contact from the first meeting to handover.
If you want us to also handle civil work, electricals, furniture, décor and styling under one contract, that is turnkey interiors.
How do you choose the best interior designers in Bangalore?
- Finished homes, not renders. Ask to see real photographs and, if possible, visit a completed home. All our projects are real.
- An itemised quote. Every cabinet, finish and fitting priced line by line, so you can compare like with like.
- Who builds it. Some studios design and hand over to contractors. We build with our own site teams and one project manager.
- Commitments in writing, with payment stages tied to work done.
- Clients who come back. Nithin Kamath of Zerodha asked us to design his office in 2015 and his home in 2016.
What makes an interior luxury rather than just expensive?
Luxury is mostly planning: proportions, light, storage that fits how you live, and details that still work in ten years. Materials matter, but a well-planned home in good veneer outlasts a badly planned one in imported marble. We spend the most time on the parts you use every day: the kitchen, the wardrobes, the pooja room, the lighting scenes.

Interior design: questions homeowners ask
Most studios either charge a design fee plus the cost of execution, or include design within a complete build price. Barebase customises every home to the client’s needs, so there is no rate card: after a consultation and site visit you get an itemised quote, line by line, before any work begins.
Both. Most of our clients choose design and execution together, so one team is accountable for the result. For full design-build with civil work, furniture and styling under one contract, see turnkey interiors.
Yes. Every room is shown in 3D, customised to handles, fabrics and finishes, and you sign off before anything is made.
All of Bengaluru, including Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, Hebbal, Devanahalli, Koramangala, Indiranagar, JP Nagar and HSR Layout.
“[Their] ability to conceive a space keeping the end use in mind is commendable.”
