Livingetc India Magazine - December 2025

In this issue

This December, we’re celebrating contrasts – the comfort of cosy corners and the sparkle of high-energy festivities. From warm furnishings to festive decor, it’s a month made for embracing both. Inside, we decode distinctive bedrooms and describe how to get the look, followed by refreshing takes on all the bedroom essentials. We also step into the intriguing, handcrafted worlds of Cavallo India and Yaahvi by Nikita Bansal, chat with design maverick Varun Rana, and hear architect Babu Cherian’s take on vernacular design. Plus, a peek at Aparna Kaushik’s favourite artwork and a Goa gelateria by Mudra Design Studio that looks as good as its ice creams taste. In Decorating, we explore what makes a bedroom feel plush and festive, from decorating ideas to our bedroom wishlists. In the festive spirit, Natasha Mehta and Mehta Shah show us how to create a Christmas tabletop filled with warmth and whimsy. Our homes also enrich the season: a vibrant terrazzo-filled pad by a&k Design Studio; a light-washed retreat by Masons Ink Studio; an urban–industrial home by Studio Saransh; and a playful, pattern-rich space by MuseLAB. We close with Kinwani House, an intimate Art Deco stay in Rishikesh that pairs colonial charm with a moment of deep calm. This month brings fresh ideas, dream-worthy rooms, and a spark of inspiration for the season ahead.
