Villa & Kothi Interior Design
Interiors for homes built to be lived in for generations
Villas, kothis and independent houses offer something flats cannot: volume, multiple floors, gardens and the freedom to shape every room. We design them as one coherent home, with planning, lighting, services and finishes coordinated from the ground floor to the terrace.
Overview
A larger home needs a clearer plan, not just more furniture
Independent homes in Delhi, Gurugram and Faridabad often house more than one generation. Parents may want a ground-floor bedroom with easy access, the family needs a formal drawing room for guests and a relaxed family lounge for everyday use, and children want privacy on the upper floors. Good villa interiors start by giving each of these zones a clear purpose and a natural flow between them.
Scale brings its own design challenges. Double-height living rooms need lighting that reaches the floor without glare, staircases become a sculptural feature, and long corridors need storage, art walls or skylights so they do not feel empty. We plan acoustics, cross-ventilation and daylight carefully, because a big room that echoes or overheats in May is not a luxury.
Because Panache began as an architecture practice, we coordinate interiors with structure, plumbing, HVAC and electrical services from the first drawing. That means concealed ducting for VRV or split ACs, inverter and solar wiring, home automation and water-tank pressure are resolved before ceilings close. The result is a home that looks considered, runs efficiently and holds its value when it is time to pass it on or sell.
A full villa or kothi interior typically takes 4–6 months from design approval, with larger multi-floor homes or imported finishes taking longer.
What we design
Every zone, planned.
From the first thing a visitor sees to the spaces only your team uses — each area is planned for how it works, how it looks and how it is maintained.
Entrance foyer & main door
A statement main door, a foyer console and shoe storage that set the tone, with security and video-door-phone points planned in.
Formal drawing room
A guest-ready room with feature wall cladding, a chandelier or statement light and seating planned for conversation rather than television.
Family lounge
A relaxed everyday space with the main TV, acoustic panelling, recliners and storage for games, books and gadgets.
Kitchen, dining & pantry
A show kitchen paired with a back utility or wet kitchen for Indian cooking, a 6 to 10 seater dining zone and a separate pantry store.
Staircase & double-height areas
Staircase cladding, glass or metal railings, a feature light drop and an art or stone wall that ties floors together visually.
Master suite
Bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and bathroom planned as one suite, with a sitting corner or private balcony where the plan allows.
Pooja room
A dedicated mandir with marble or wooden joinery, jaali doors, diya-safe surfaces and soft devotional lighting.
Terrace, lawn & basement
Outdoor lounges with weather-proof furniture, a terrace bar or gym, and basement home theatres with proper waterproofing and ventilation.
Design inspiration — representative imagery
Key details
The details that decide it.
A space that still works three years after opening day is decided by technical detail — lighting, services, materials and compliance. This is what we get right.
Coordinated services planning
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC ducting and automation conduits are mapped against the interior layout before ceilings and cladding go up. This avoids breaking finished surfaces later to add an AC drain or data point.
Premium, durable materials
We use BWP plywood in kitchens, bathrooms and basements, and BWR ply or HDHMR for dry joinery, finished in veneer, lacquer, PU or high-pressure laminate. Natural stone, engineered wood and large-format tiles are chosen for each floor's traffic and moisture levels.
Lighting for volume & mood
Double-height spaces get a layered scheme of cove, wall-washers, pendants and dimmable downlights on separate circuits. Scenes for entertaining, everyday use and night movement can be set through smart switches or automation.
Waterproofing & weather protection
Terraces, bathrooms, basements and parapets are checked and waterproofed before interiors begin. Exterior-facing woodwork and outdoor furniture use weather-rated finishes suited to NCR summers and monsoons.
Hardware & joinery details
Walk-in wardrobes use soft-close hinges, full-extension drawers, pull-down hanger lifts and integrated sensor lighting. Large doors and pivot entrances get heavy-duty hinges and floor springs rated for their weight.
Climate & energy comfort
We plan insulation, high-performance glazing, ceiling fan and AC positions and cross-ventilation to keep large rooms comfortable. Provisions for solar, inverter backup and EV charging are built into the wiring plan.
Design directions

Starting points we refine with you into a look that is yours — palette, materials and lighting worked out together in 3D.

Teak and walnut veneers, brass inlays, jaali screens, Kota or Indian marble and rich indigo, ochre and ivory tones that celebrate heritage without clutter.
Contemporary luxury
Large-format marble or porcelain slabs, fluted panels, lacquered surfaces and bronze metal accents in a warm grey, cream and smoked-wood palette.

FAQs
Villa, Kothi & Independent House Interiors — answered.
Still have a question? Call or WhatsApp — a designer will answer.
What is the cost of interior design for a villa or kothi in Delhi NCR?
Villa interiors in Delhi NCR typically range from about ₹2,000 per sq ft for essential work to ₹4,500 per sq ft or more for luxury specifications. The figure depends on the number of floors, finish levels, automation and how much bespoke furniture is included. We provide a BOQ-based estimate after measurement and design discussions.
Can you design interiors while the house is still under construction?
Yes, and it is the best time to start. Planning interiors during construction lets us position electrical points, AC ducting, plumbing and lighting correctly, avoiding expensive changes after plastering and flooring are done.
Do you also help with building plan approvals?
Our sister practice, Panache Architect, assists with architectural drawings and the documentation needed for building plan sanction and completion certificates. The approvals themselves are granted by the relevant authority, such as MCD, DTCP, HSVP or the development authority concerned.
Can you renovate interiors floor by floor while we live in the house?
Yes. We can phase the work floor by floor, sealing off active zones with dust barriers and planning noisy work for agreed hours. Phasing adds some time but lets the family stay on in the home.
How do you handle double-height living rooms?
We plan lighting at multiple levels, use wall cladding or art to give the volume a focal point, and address acoustics with soft finishes and panelling. Curtain tracks are motorised where heights make manual operation impractical.
Is home automation worth it in a villa?
In a multi-floor home, automation for lighting scenes, curtains, ACs, gates and CCTV adds real convenience and can reduce energy waste. We plan the wiring for it even if you choose to add devices later.
Do you design pooja rooms as per Vastu?
We can follow Vastu preferences for the pooja room, kitchen and bedroom orientations where the plan allows. We discuss any trade-offs openly so the final layout works both spiritually and practically.
Which locations do you cover for villa interiors?
From our Faridabad studio we work across South and West Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad. Farmhouses on the city outskirts can also be taken up after a site review.
