Adding Soul to Your Spaces
By Tanu Gupta, Principal Designer, Tanish Dzignz
Have you ever walked into a home and just felt something? A sense of warmth, calm, or luxury—even before you noticed the color of the walls or the furniture style?
That magic often comes from one quiet hero: finishes and textures.
At Tanish Dzignz, we believe textures speak louder than trends. They whisper stories of comfort, tradition, and personality. And in Indian homes, where every corner holds emotion, memory, and purpose, choosing the right finishes becomes a deeply personal part of the design journey.
Let’s explore the textures and finishes that are not just popular in Indian interiors, but beloved.
1. Wood Finishes: The Warmth of Tradition
There’s nothing quite like the timeless beauty of wood. Whether it’s the rich grain of teak or the soft elegance of ashwood, wood finishes bring depth and character to a home.
In India, we love:
- Natural wood textures on furniture and ceilings
- Matte wood laminates for wardrobes and kitchens
- Polished veneer for a rich, classic touch
It’s not just wood—it’s warmth, nostalgia, and a connection to nature.
2. Stone Textures: Earthy, Strong & Spiritual
From temple steps to ancestral homes, stone has been part of our design DNA for centuries. Whether you’re using sandstone, granite, or marble—stone adds grounding energy to your space.
We love:
- Textured stone cladding for feature walls
- Honed or leather-finish granite for a matte look
- Marble inlay or terrazzo for a modern Indian twist
Stone finishes don’t just look good—they feel solid and timeless.
3. Wall Finishes: Paints, Plasters & Magic
Gone are the days of plain white walls. Today, your walls can wear velvet, silk, concrete—even rust—thanks to stunning new textures and finishes.
In Indian homes, you’ll often see:
- Textured paints (like sand, metallic, or stucco finishes)
- Venetian plaster or lime wash for a soft, earthy feel
- Accent walls with concrete or oxide finishes for raw beauty
A wall doesn’t have to just exist—it can express.
4. Soft Textures: Where Comfort Meets Culture
Fabrics bring tactile comfort, and in India, they carry cultural depth. Think handwoven cushions, cotton dhurries, velvet drapes, or raw silk blinds.
Some favorite combos include:
- Linen upholstery with cane accents
- Velvet headboards with neutral backdrops
- Macrame, jute, and khadi fabrics for rustic charm
Textures you can feel are textures you remember.
5. Tiles & Surfaces: From Rustic to Royal
Tiles aren’t just for bathrooms anymore. Indian homes use them creatively to highlight heritage and add personality.
We’re seeing love for:
- Handmade ceramic tiles in kitchens and balconies
- Moroccan-inspired patterned tiles for floors and stairs
- Matte-finish vitrified tiles for a minimal, modern vibe
A single tile can transport you—to a Rajasthani haveli or a Goa café.
Tanu’s Tip: Layer Thoughtfully
When we design a home, we don’t just throw in beautiful things. We layer textures with intention—contrasting rough with smooth, matte with gloss, warm with cool. That’s how a house becomes yours.
Because finishes aren’t about trends—they’re about touch, emotion, and identity.
Let Your Home Feel Like You
At Tanish Dzignz, we help you choose finishes that align not only with your style but your lifestyle. Whether you want a serene sanctuary or a vibrant gathering space, the right textures quietly bring that vision to life, day after day.
