A bungalow offers what a flat cannot: larger volumes, multiple floors, gardens, terraces and the freedom to plan the interior and exterior together. It also demands more from the designer. Large spaces can feel empty or overwhelming without careful proportion, and a multi-level home needs a consistent design language from one floor to the next.
Aatish Joshi plans bungalow interiors in Nashik that feel generous and warm, with attention to flow, light and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Planning at a larger scale
In a bungalow, the main challenge is organising many spaces into a clear, comfortable sequence. We look at the approach from the gate, the entrance porch, the foyer, the living and dining areas, bedrooms on each floor, kitchen and service areas, and how these connect. Staircases, double-height spaces and passages are treated as important design elements and not merely as circulation.
Key spaces to consider
- Entrance porch and foyer with a strong first impression
- Formal living and informal family lounge
- Dining area connected to a well-planned kitchen
- Bedrooms with attached dressing and walk-in storage
- Staircase design, railings and landing areas
- Home office, library or entertainment room
- Pooja room, balconies, terraces and garden seating
Light, ventilation and views
Bungalows usually have windows on multiple sides, which allows excellent natural light and cross-ventilation. We use this to reduce dependence on artificial lighting and cooling, while managing glare and heat from sun-facing openings with curtains, blinds and shading. Window seats, glazed doors and well-placed openings frame garden views and connect the interior to the outdoors.
Material continuity across floors
A bungalow interior works best when materials and colours carry through the whole house. A consistent flooring approach, a recurring timber tone or a repeated metal accent ties the floors together. Individual rooms can still have their own character within that common thread.
Lighting for large volumes
Double-height spaces and large living rooms need thoughtful lighting, such as chandeliers or pendants, wall washers, concealed profiles and accent lights, to avoid dark corners and create a comfortable atmosphere. We plan these with the electrical layout and ceiling design early.
Furniture at the right scale
Large rooms need furniture with presence. We select and design pieces with suitable proportions, avoiding small items floating in big spaces, and we use rugs, partitions and lighting to define zones within open areas.
Coordination with architecture and services
For new bungalows, interior planning works best when started alongside the architectural and services drawings, so that wall positions, electrical conduits, plumbing and ceiling heights support the interior concept. Structural and statutory aspects are handled by the relevant professionals as agreed.
