In the past, luxury was synonymous with extravagance and abundance. Now, it’s defined by quality, purpose, and personalization. There is an increased demand for curated living—interiors that are both meaningful and elegant
As homes continue to transform into personal sanctuaries, the luxury décor space in India is undergoing a striking evolution. No longer just about opulence, today’s luxury interiors blend aesthetics with intention—prioritising sustainability, craftsmanship and bespoke design. This shift reflects a deeper change in how modern Indian consumers, especially design-forward homeowners and discerning mothers, approach home-making: not as a task, but as an expression of identity, values, and lifestyle. Soft textures, layered neutrals, and eco-conscious materials have replaced over-the-top ornamentation. Clients are choosing artisan-crafted pieces over mass-produced items, with an emphasis on longevity and emotional connection.
Soft, grounding tones like sand, clay, oatmeal, and dove grey are dominating luxury interiors. These create a calming foundation, often elevated with moody accent shades—think deep olive, inky blue, charcoal, or burnished burgundy. The idea is to balance serenity with sophistication.
Tactility is key in luxury this year. Rich textures like washed linen, handwoven cotton, organic muslin, and matte velvets are layered to add depth and warmth. Think slub weaves, fringed edges, and lightly crinkled finishes that feel effortlessly elegant and lived-in.
Luxury bedrooms are becoming deeply personal spaces. Layered bed linen in muted palettes, oversized cushions, and soft, breathable fabrics elevate both style and sleep. Curated table linen with textured runners, artisanal napkins, and coordinated placemats is turning everyday dining into an occasion.
Bold, saturated colors are making a comeback in 2025. Colour-drenched rooms use a single hue in varying shades to create a cohesive and impactful look. This trend is perfect for those who like playful interiors, want to make a statement, or infuse their spaces with a chic personality.
Soft furnishings in 2025 aren’t just beautiful—they’re responsible. Organic cotton, bamboo blends, recycled poly-fibers, and naturally dyed fabrics are being chosen for their look and their eco-credentials. Sustainable soft luxury is no longer a niche—it’s the new standard.
Similar colours continue to dominate in 2025 as in 2024, adding depth and sophistication to luxury interiors. Timeless shades like emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple work beautifully as bold accents or focal points. For a softer, more balanced look, pair them with neutrals or delicate pastels like butter yellow.

“We’ve witnessed this transformation firsthand. As a design house rooted in fine home textiles, we cater to a new generation of buyers who want more than just beautiful bed and table linen—they want products that align with their lifestyle and values. From organic cottons and natural dyes to ethically sourced fabrics, our collections are designed to complement modern homes that are warm, stylish, and sustainable,” says Aditi Thatai, co-founder of FA Home, a responsible decor brand as she agrees to the rising trend in responsible luxury.
India’s luxury home decor market has grown significantly in recent years, driven by increasing disposable incomes, growing design awareness, and the digital influence of global interiors. India’s luxury home décor market is projected to reach $14.7 billion by 2027, with significant contributions from the luxury segment.
With more exposure to global interior design trends via digital platforms, Indian consumers are becoming increasingly design-conscious. In fact, 80 per cent of Indian homeowners are now more likely to invest in quality design and aesthetics, according to a recent survey. The digital transformation of India’s home décor sector has been accelerated by the increasing penetration of e-commerce platforms. Online sales in the Indian home décor market are expected to grow at a CAGR of 16 per cent, as more luxury buyers turn to digital spaces to make purchases. While luxury home décor was once concentrated in metros like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, demand is now emerging from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. According to a KPMG report, the luxury goods market in non-metro cities is growing at a faster rate, with an increase of 15 per cent in consumer spending on luxury items in these regions in the last three years.
This growth trajectory suggests a promising future for the sector, with India poised to become one of the world’s largest markets for luxury home décor in the coming decade.
It is then significant that the sector is leaning towards responsible luxury in light of the future.
“Luxury today must also be responsible. At FA Home, sustainability is woven into every layer of our business. From using organic and recycled materials to employing eco-friendly production methods that reduce water and energy consumption, we believe that beauty shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. Our packaging is biodegradable, our designs are made to last, and our sourcing partners include local artisans—supporting both heritage crafts and reduced carbon footprints,” explains Thatai and says that the brand’s “future initiatives will include exploring bio-based textiles and minimising physical sampling through digital tools,” enabling customers to opt for sustainability without compromising on style.
