Hyderabad, India – KAS Home Elevators has announced a bespoke cabin design and space-planning service that focuses on one of the biggest concerns for homeowners thinking about a lift: “Where will it fit, and will it look good in my house?” The new service brings architects, in-house designers and installation teams onto the same page from the very beginning, so that each elevator feels like a natural part of the home rather than an afterthought squeezed into a corner.
The approach starts with the basic footprint. Many Indian homes do not have a ready-made shaft or large lobby area, especially in existing villas and duplexes that were planned without an elevator in mind. Instead of forcing a standard size into these spaces, KAS now offers tailor-made cabin dimensions that can adapt to tight stairwells, internal courtyards or small cut-outs created during renovation. The company’s “complete knock-down” cabin construction allows lifts to be carried in piece by piece and assembled neatly on site, which is particularly useful in homes where access for large prefabricated cabins is simply not possible.
Once the space is resolved, attention turns to how the elevator actually looks and feels. KAS has developed a range of interior themes, from warm wood-inspired panels and soft lighting to more minimal metal finishes with sharp lines and mirrors. Homeowners are encouraged to mix and match wall finishes, ceilings, handrails and floors so the cabin echoes the style of the living areas around it. For some clients, that means a quiet, hotel-like look that blends into a modern hallway. For others, it might be a bolder design with copper tones, patterned panels or accent lighting that turns the lift into a small showpiece.
A great deal of thought also goes into what passengers touch and see every day. Operating panels are laid out so that buttons are easy to reach for both children and older users. Railings are positioned for comfort and support rather than purely for decoration. Lighting is chosen to be flattering but practical, avoiding harsh glare while still keeping every corner of the cabin clearly visible. Even the choice of door finish is discussed in detail, as the door is often the only part of the elevator visible from the living room or foyer.
Behind the finishes, the cabins are built with anti-vibration design and fire-resistant materials, so the focus on looks never comes at the cost of safety. The walls and ceiling are engineered to dampen sound and reduce the small rattles that can develop over time in lesser systems. Combined with the company’s belt-driven, gearless technology, this construction helps the cabin feel solid and calm, even after years of daily use. It is the difference between a lift that people tolerate and one they genuinely enjoy stepping into.
For homeowners, the experience is very personal. A KAS designer visits the site, studies the natural light, flooring, colours and movement patterns in the house, and then proposes cabin concepts that suit that specific space. Clients see realistic views of how the elevator will look from outside and inside before any fabrication begins. Small touches, such as matching the elevator’s metal trims with door handles or stair railings already in the home, are encouraged because they are often what make the finished installation feel truly integrated.
With this service, KAS Home Elevators is making a clear statement: a home lift is not just a utility, it is part of the architecture. By combining flexible sizes, custom interiors and careful attention to detail, the company aims to remove the mental barrier many families have when they imagine a bulky, unattractive machine occupying valuable space in their home. Instead, the elevator becomes another thoughtfully designed room – just one that moves between floors.
KAS Home Elevators designs, installs and maintains residential elevators across India, with a strong focus on safety, comfort and aesthetics. Through its bespoke cabin design and space-planning service, the company helps homeowners create lifts that are not only practical and reliable but also genuinely at home in the spaces they serve.
