Furnishing a New Apartment in Bengaluru with Solid Teak: A Room-by-Room Guide

New apartments across Bengaluru, from Electronic City and Sarjapur Road to Whitefield, Hebbal and Kanakapura Road, share a few things: compact bedrooms, a living-dining space in one, small balconies and lifts that limit what can come in. Solid teak works well in these homes if each piece is sized for the room. Here’s a room-by-room plan.

Before you buy anything

• Measure each room and note doors, windows and switchboards.
• Measure the lift (door width, depth and height) and the main door.
• Decide on one wood finish for the whole home. Honey and Walnut suit most vitrified tile floors.

Entrance

A louvred shoe cabinet keeps shoes out of sight while letting air through. A low one doubles as a bench for putting shoes on.

Living room

A 3+1+1 teak sofa set suits most living rooms. In an open living-dining space, an L-shaped corner sofa defines the seating area. Add a tepoy and, if the wall allows, a TV unit made to the wall’s width.

Bedrooms

A teak cot with storage is the most useful piece in an apartment: it adds a whole cupboard’s worth of space under the mattress. Pair it with an almirah built to your wall height, and a dressing table in the same finish.

Pooja corner

Most apartments don’t have a separate pooja room. A wall-mounted or compact floor mandir fits a corner of the living room or kitchen.

Children’s room

A bunk bed or trundle bed saves floor space, and a study table made to a child’s height grows with them.

Balcony

A rocking chair or a swing with its own stand turns a small balcony into a place to sit. Teak handles Bengaluru’s humidity better than engineered wood.
