PALETTES WITH A PURPOSE

Colour, when done well, is the best form of storytelling. And here we have five stories that roar with emotion, meaning and legacy

- FEATURE NEERJA KAPADIA

According to some of India's most talented architects and interior designers, colour can change how you feel at home. Whether it's anchoring a home in regional identity, drawing inspiration from natural surroundings, or expressing emotion through tone and saturation, colour is never random. The shade card is chosen with care, precision and a deep understanding of context.

Design the feeling first, the colour will follow. Cloaked in vibrant tones, bold patterns and unexpected contrasts, this South Mumbai home designed by Noorein Kapoor, founder of Noorein Kapoor Design (NKD) spotlights colour as an expressive language of emotion and personality...both of the homeowners as well as the designer. From the dual-toned C-shaped sofa to soothing green chairs, every tone is chosen to uplift, soothe or surprise! It's not just a glamorous home...it's an emotionally intelligent space, blending Hollywood flair with heartfelt warmth.
