We strip back the layers to uncover the original material, transforming old doors and cupboards into functional pieces that breathe new life into your space. ## Photos and videos - ![The living room of a renovated home, where floating bookshelves were crafted from the house's old wooden doors.

Take this foyer, for instance. Instead of discarding the old, painted cupboards and doors, we stripped the heavy polish to reveal the seasoned teak underneath, repurposing every centimeter into bespoke ledges and seating. It is a process of subtraction, letting the home's original character guide the new design. Renovating is often treated as a process of wholesale replacement. We see it as a process of rediscovery. Our approach to interior renovations in Bengaluru focuses on material continuity, working with what is already present on the site to reduce environmental impact. When you hire us for a renovation, we begin with a forensic look at your existing furniture and fixtures. That heavy, dark-polished door or the oversized wardrobe in the corner often hides high-quality seasoned teak or mahogany. We carefully dismantle these elements, stripping away synthetic finishes to expose the natural grain, and then re-imagine them as functional elements like bookshelves, benches, or partition screens. This method not only minimizes material waste but also maintains the intangible history of your home. Whether it is an apartment in Indiranagar or a family home in Malleshwaram, our goal is to retain the soul of the space. We avoid quick-fix modern laminates. Instead, we use hand-rubbed linseed oil and beeswax finishes that allow the wood to breathe and age gracefully. We also integrate structural interventions like brick masonry seating or oxide finishes where they fit the existing layout, ensuring the new design feels like an organic extension of the house rather than a forced addition. ## About Betweenlines We are a team of architects and researchers who believe the best spaces are the ones that grow with you.
