Transform Your Home's Mood: Design Without Demolition

  • Suparna Handa emphasizes using lighter palettes and tactile surfaces like cotton-linen blends, chalky whites, and washed neutrals to reflect light and animate spaces.
  • Natural materials such as linen, wool, silk, and handwoven cotton, along with earthy tones, create warmth and a lived-in softness.
  • Neha Kataria suggests materials like polished verde green Italian marble and cast bronze detailing to add luminosity and visual energy to underlit areas.
  • Kataria highlights that warmth comes from texture and imperfection, using antiqued brass, hand-patinated bronze, brushed metals, and honed stone.
  • Mita Mehta notes that simple changes like lime-washed walls, warm off-whites, and light-toned wood can radically alter light behavior without structural changes.

Why It Matters: Transform your home's mood and feel through thoughtful colour, material, and texture choices, not demolition.
