Bengaluru’s residential landscape has changed significantly over the past decade and a half. The city has seen the growth of premium apartments, large-format villas and increasingly sophisticated residential developments, creating new expectations around the way homes are designed.
The KariGhars has been part of this changing landscape since 2009.
Founded by Abhishek Chadha and Aashita Chadha, the company began after the founders experienced first-hand the challenges associated with getting their own home designed. Their experience in the IT sector had given them a different perspective on professionalism and processes, which eventually influenced the way they approached the interior design industry. Vinayak Chadha subsequently joined the leadership team and is now Managing Director.
More than 15 years later, The KariGhars – an interior design company in Bangalore has developed into a large residential interior design organisation.
The company currently highlights more than 8,000 completed projects and a team of over 650 members. Its portfolio spans apartments, villas and premium residences across Bengaluru and beyond.
The evolution of the company has coincided with a broader change in how homeowners perceive interior design.
Earlier, interiors were often treated primarily as a finishing activity undertaken after construction. Today, design can influence the planning and experience of a home from the outset.
Space planning, storage, lighting, materials, technology, custom furniture and lifestyle requirements increasingly form part of the conversation.
The KariGhars’ service offering reflects this broader understanding of residential design. Its expertise includes living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, wardrobes, bathrooms, balconies, foyers, pooja units, storage solutions, custom furniture and complete turnkey interiors.
The company has also developed an emphasis on experience-led design.
Its Experience Centre in Bengaluru allows homeowners to engage with materials, finishes and spatial concepts before finalising their own interiors. This approach reflects a growing expectation among luxury homeowners to experience design physically rather than rely entirely on drawings or digital visualisations.
The company’s work has also increasingly entered the national and international design conversation. Its published coverage lists appearances and features across platforms including Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Vogue India, Archello, Realty+, Society Interiors and Architecture + Design.
Projects such as House of Serenity, Gran Carmen, Casa Lumiere and Maison Rose have recently received editorial attention, while earlier projects such as The Gran Carmen Address have also appeared in design publications.
For The KariGhars, the evolution is not about following one permanent definition of luxury.
Instead, the company’s published philosophy focuses on understanding the individual homeowner and creating spaces around their requirements, passions and vision.
That philosophy has allowed the studio to work across changing design preferences—from contemporary minimalism and warm modern interiors to more detailed and personalised residential environments.
As Bengaluru continues to evolve, so will the expectations surrounding its homes.
For The KariGhars, the next chapter is likely to be shaped by the same principles that have guided its journey so far: design, craftsmanship, collaboration, technology and a close understanding of the people who ultimately live in the spaces it creates.
