Livingetc India Magazine - July 2025

In this issue

Our July issue is a celebration of all things feel-good—where home, heart, and high spirits come together in a joyful tribute to dopamine decor. We kick things off in Trending, where Ayesha Puri, Eshita Marwah, Kavan Shah, Kunaal Kyhaan Seolekar, and Shimona Bhansali lead a mood-boosting masterclass on design that sparks joy. Pavitra Rajaram reveals a cherished work of art that continues to inspire, and La DoubleJ welcomes us into its riotously fun Milanese headquarters—a space bursting with colour, pattern, and play.


From the iconic world of Cappellini to the evolving practices shaped by Doshi Levien, TaP Design, Mandana Karimi, and Rohit Bhoite, we trace design across tempos, textures, and temperaments. In Decorating, we dive headfirst into dopamine dens — spaces brimming with personality, where bold palettes and unexpected details dial up the joy. There are plenty of playful ideas to help you build your own happy place.


Over in Homes, we spotlight spaces with soul—ones that trade polish for personality and speak in a language of lived-in ease. With Co.Lab Design Studio, Essajees Atelier, Jason Wadhwani Design, Spaces and Design, and The Canvas Project behind them, each home is a masterstroke in personal storytelling. And in Lifestyle, joy takes a tropical turn at LUX* Belle Mare in Mauritius that's a sun-drenched beachside escape where barefoot luxury sets the tone for summer.
