Designing a home is often referred to as a very intimate thing, a balance of the aesthetic and the emotional, the timeless and the functional. This Mother’s Day 2025, Dulux Velvet Touch joined hands with K2 India, helmed by Sunita Kohli and Kohelika Kohli, to bring their vision to life. For them, design isn’t just about the things we hold, but the spaces that hold meaning. Woven with care, culture, and craftsmanship, their work speaks a shared language of love. They create spaces that resonate with warmth, beauty, and what truly ‘Feels Like Home.’
Kohelika reflects on the inspiration of her mother, Sunita, and how her journey influences the design. “I think in everything I design, I give a little bit of her. She has shaped spaces in many places of India and the world, homes, museums, embassies, and libraries. And quietly, I think, she shaped the way I see things too. This time, I just wanted to bring back her journey. A little piece of her story told through mine.”
K2 India’s work has always resonated with us not simply for its beauty, but for how it quietly carries a soul. Their interiors, more than just finishes or furniture, carry and convey experiences. They craft spaces where objects hold stories, materials evoke landscapes, and colour becomes an emotion.
Sunita Kohli is a noted restoration architect and interior designer. Her daughter, Kohelika Kohli, is an architect and product designer educated at the Pratt Institute. Together, they share a design philosophy where memory, materials, and moments overlap.
The Kohli residence, layered with history, craft, and emotions, stands quietly resilient to the effects of time, a simple monument to lives lived and felt.
As Sunita shares, “This is my own home, so I have chosen to do it the way I would like it to reflect us. And so it’s filled with biographical objects, which speak of one’s many travels and experiences in India and in many places around the world. Each object that one has collected is mnemonic.”
It’s in the details. Those subtle, evocative flourishes, where the magic happens. One moment stands out: the wall in their living room, painted in Dulux Velvet Touch, becomes a canvas of nostalgia. As Sunita Kohli expresses, “It’s amazing how these objects that have become memories can transform spaces.” “I feel that too. Looking at these things, they remind me of you. And maybe that’s why this wall painted with Dulux Velvet Touch feels like home,” Kohelika reflects.
For Sunita and Kohelika, design means more than creating places to live, it means shaping places to belong to. This shared belief has been passed from mother to daughter, resulting in places that resonate emotionally and sensorially with their inhabitants.
By this consideration of memory and material, this Mother’s Day 2025, K2 India shows that a home is not determined by the square feet or style, but rather by the feeling and a collection of people and items. And today, on Mother’s Day 2025, what feels like home is the connection to one another, through the generational language of design, woven together over time.
