Manoj Tapare's Residence: Where High-End Style Meets Everyday Comfort
Xclusive Interiors took on the residential interior design in Pune for Mr. Manoj and Mrs. Purva Tapare a full renovation of their 15-year-old house in [AREA]. As residential interior designers in Pune, we reworked an older home into a modern, comfortable space without starting from scratch. Here’s the whole project: the renovation process, the materials, and the finishes room by room.

What does renovating a 15-year-old house involve?
Renovating an older home is different from designing a new one you work with an existing layout, existing services, and what’s worth keeping. For the Tapares’ house, that meant assessing the current structure first, deciding what stayed and what changed, then rebuilding around it. The result is a home that feels new but didn’t need to be gutted top to bottom.
Good residential interior design in Pune on an older house starts with what you already have. Keeping sound structure and reworking only what needs it is what keeps a renovation sensible instead of a full teardown.
What was done in the Tapare home?
We handled the complete renovation under one contract design, custom carpentry, finishes, and on-site execution. The scope covered the living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms, updating a 15-year-old interior to a modern standard. The brief was a home that felt fresh and comfortable for daily life, mixing modern updates with the warmth the family already knew.
Every space was planned around the Tapares’ routine open lounges for conversation, quiet corners for downtime, and smart storage worked into the existing layout.
What a turnkey renovation includes
A turnkey renovation puts the whole job under one team and one point of responsibility important on an older house, where surprises are common. For the Tapare home, that meant:
- Design – layouts, 3D visuals, colour palette and material selection, sign-off before work started
- Custom carpentry – wardrobe design, kitchen cabinetry, storage units built to the existing rooms
- Finishes – painting, lighting design, false ceiling where needed, flooring updates
- Execution – on-site project management through to handover, coordinating around an existing structure
One team, one contract, one finished result.
Room-by-room breakdown
Living areas – Open lounges that draw in conversation, with layered lighting and a warm colour palette. Updated finishes bring a 15-year-old space up to a modern standard.
Bedrooms – Each bedroom was reworked for comfort and character, with fitted wardrobe design and calm tones. Snug reading corners were built in for quiet time.
Kitchen – Sleek cabinets and soft-close hardware modernise the old kitchen, with hidden storage keeping counters clear.
Bathrooms – Updated fittings, better lighting, and clean finishes turn dated bathrooms into bright, easy-to-use spaces.
Materials and finishes
We chose materials that look good and last, matched to each room rather than one grade everywhere. Warm wood trim, cool marble-look flooring, and made-to-order custom pieces give a quiet, durable luxury. In a renovation especially, wet and high-use zones (kitchen, bathrooms) get moisture-resistant BWP plywood and durable hardware, so the update lasts.
Careful material choices are what keep a renovated home low-maintenance and ageing gracefully a big part of good residential interior design in Pune, not an afterthought.
How much does home renovation cost in Pune?
The honest answer: renovating a home in Pune is priced by three things, so two same-size houses can cost very differently. What sets your number is (1) how much custom carpentry you want built-ins are the biggest lever, (2) the grade of materials plywood, hardware, and finishes, and (3) how much civil, plumbing, and false ceiling work the old structure needs.
A renovation that mostly updates finishes sits at one end; one that reworks layout, services, and carpentry sits higher. For a full breakdown of what drives the price, read our guide to interior design cost in Pune.
