The festive season is round the corner, and what better time than this to renovate your home. As we move towards a more aesthetically inclined trend, homeowners are embracing thoughtful design palettes, stylish décor, and modern elements. But what still truly tops the list is the colour scheme of the house. People are extremely particular about it and all thanks to apps like Pinterest, they leave no stone unturned to ensure their home looks both beautiful and regal.
Consumer behaviour is undergoing a striking shift when it comes to picking home colours. Especially in India, where people once played it safe with vanilla choices, they are now experimenting with different tones and are following latest trends. Interior Designer Ankita Sweety of Studio AVT says, "This year, we see a rise of Indian homes leaning towards muted yet warm palettes. Soft peaches, muted olives, and warm greys are dominating the interior spaces. They are fresh yet subtle, striking a balance between everyday calm and festive vibrancy."
So, here we are with a curated list of interior colours that are creating a buzz in 2025 and feature prominently on every interior designer’s palette.
