Home Furniture Manufacturer in Banashankari — A Room-by-Room Approach
Planning custom home furniture room by room in Banashankari: what each space actually needs, in what order to build it, and where custom work pays for itself.
Furnishing a whole home at once is expensive and, for most families, unnecessary. The better approach is to build in a sequence, starting with the pieces that are genuinely fixed and hardest to add later, and buying the movable pieces afterwards.
Here is the order we usually recommend to homeowners in Banashankari, and what to think about in each room.
First: the kitchen
The kitchen has to be right before you move in, because retrofitting it means living without one. It is also the room where custom work returns the most, since standard cabinets almost never fit an Indian kitchen’s plumbing and window positions.
Key decisions: the work triangle between sink, hob and refrigerator; base unit depth (600 mm standard, 550 mm if the room is tight); a tall unit for the water purifier and provisions; and drawer versus shutter on base cabinets. Drawers cost more and are worth it — you can see everything in a drawer and nothing at the back of a deep shutter cupboard.
Second: wardrobes
Fitted wardrobes should go in before the room is furnished, because they define the usable floor area of the bedroom.
The decision people get wrong is the split of internals. A standard wardrobe is mostly hanging space, but most Indian wardrobes actually hold folded clothes. Plan the shelf-to-hanging ratio against what you own:
| Internal element | Typical height | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Long hanging | 1400-1500 mm | Sarees, kurtas, coats |
| Short hanging | 900-1000 mm | Shirts, trousers on a bar |
| Shelf bay | 300-350 mm each | Folded clothes |
| Drawer bank | 150-200 mm each | Small items, documents |
| Loft above | 400-500 mm | Seasonal storage, luggage |
Sliding shutters save the swing space of a hinged door — worth it in a bedroom under 3 m wide. They cost more and you can only ever see half the wardrobe at once.
Third: storage in the living room
TV units, display and storage consoles. Here custom work is about wall dimensions and cable management: the TV point, set-top box, router and console all need a hidden home with ventilation.
Fourth: study and work-from-home space
Often the last thing planned and now one of the most-used. A 1200 × 600 mm top against a wall, with a shelf above and a small drawer unit, fits into a bedroom corner and works far better than a dining table.
Fifth: dining and beds
These can be bought as loose furniture, which is why they come last. Custom becomes worthwhile only if the dining area is an odd shape, or if you want storage built into the bed base — which, in a compact Banashankari apartment, is often the single biggest storage gain available.
Materials
For home furniture we work in engineered wood — pre-laminated boards, MDF and plywood depending on the application — with laminate or acrylic finishes, 2 mm PVC edge banding, and branded hinges and drawer slides. In wet areas such as the kitchen base and utility, moisture-resistant board or plywood carcasses are worth the difference; elsewhere, standard board performs perfectly well.
Everything is manufactured at our own workshop at #336/10, Hosur Road, Bommanahalli, and installed at your home.
