Bangalore’s interior design landscape is witnessing a remarkable shift where heritage home renovation meets contemporary luxury. As one of India’s fastest-growing cities, Bangalore homeowners increasingly seek design solutions that honor their roots while embracing modern functionality.
Project Overview: When Tradition Meets Innovation
When Mr. Pratheek, a successful tech entrepreneur, approached Elegante Interiors for his ancestral villa renovation in Jayanagar, we knew this project would become a testament to our expertise in heritage home design. The 3,500 sq ft villa, built in the 1980s, featured distinctive red oxide flooring, intricate teakwood details, and traditional Athangudi tiles that told decades of family stories.
Our challenge? Create a luxury interior design that preserves Bangalore’s traditional charm while accommodating a young family’s contemporary lifestyle needs.
Client Brief: Balancing Heritage and Contemporary Needs
Mr. Pratheek’s vision was crystal clear: “We want our children to grow up connected to their roots, but we can’t compromise on modern comfort.” His specific requirements included:
- Preserving heritage elements like the central courtyard and vintage tiles
- Creating functional modern spaces for his growing family
- Integrating smart home technology without disrupting the villa’s character
- Designing a contemporary kitchen that serves modern cooking needs
- Establishing a home office suitable for remote work
- Maximizing natural light while maintaining privacy
Budget allocation: ₹25-30 lakhs for complete interior renovation
Our Design Philosophy: Heritage Meets Luxury
At Elegante Interiors, we believe every heritage home renovation should tell a story. For this Jayanagar villa, our philosophy centered on “Heritage Meets Luxury” – a seamless blend of:
Traditional Elements We Preserved:
- Original red oxide flooring in select areas
- Handcrafted Athangudi tiles in the courtyard
- Carved teakwood doors and window frames
- Traditional jali work for ventilation
- Central courtyard with original stone work
Modern Luxury We Integrated:

Preserving Bangalore’s Architectural Legacy
We meticulously restored elements that define traditional Bangalore homes:
Red Oxide Flooring Revival
The original red oxide floors were carefully polished and sealed, revealing their rich, earthy beauty. Traditional interior design trends in Bangalore—such as earthy tones, handcrafted furniture, and rustic textures—continue to inspire and hold their place in modern homes, making this restoration both aesthetically and culturally significant.
Athangudi Tile Preservation
Each Athangudi tile was individually cleaned and re-set, maintaining the geometric patterns that celebrate South Indian craftsmanship. These tiles now serve as artistic focal points in the courtyard and main walkway.
Teakwood Element Integration
Original teakwood doors were refurbished and incorporated into modern cabinetry designs, creating stunning feature walls that honor the home’s heritage.
