Festivities collection by Interior Designer Punam Kalra

Given the present circumstances, anything that’s created henceforth needs to be more conscious, inherently warm, joyful, and serene, spreading love, hope, and inspiration. This festive season can be a celebration of our individualistic dreams and personalities, expressed through an experiential interior aesthetic with innovative minimal surfaces, luxurious textures, bold color palettes, and artful formations.

A play of minimal maximalism with contrasting yet harmonious forms and a touch of metallic shades add a raw and intimate textural feel to the décor. The Metallic Romance Living Room Collection contrasts a plush, blush-toned velvet sofa set with statement neo-modern chairs in burnt red and a nude micro pleated sofa. Assorted cushions in velvet, copper, and antique gold adds a touch of glamour and snugness to the room. The varying volumes of the luxe center table, the grandeur of a silver-toned mirror, the elegant geometric side table console, and a lively indoor planter, add to the play of colors, lines, and indulgent metallic detailing, making for a stunning, powerful space.

Designs emphasizing on striking a delicate balance of intriguing textures, exclusive color combinations, and imaginative forms hold an exquisite artistic flair while looking minimal and modern. A play of bright colors, rich deep tones, and subtle neutral shades, complemented with chic patterns like interpreted geometric linework, symbolic motifs, and mixed futuristic art movements, adds warmth and grace to the home.

The Aureate Dining Set channels the magnificence of a marble tabletop with the allure of gold. The slick table, designed in neat edge detailing and contemporary golden textures, paired with reinterpreted Classical chairs in shades of black and gold make for an elegant combination. The chairs with subtle curves, plush upholstery, and high gloss PU finishing create an interesting visual play by contrasting monochrome side chairs with rich gold patterned armchairs, making for a stunning dining experience.
Strong colors like blue and red, accented with tonal shades like lime and tangerine, or with luxe metallic fabric, make for a spirited décor. The Crimson Pleats Chair is a red-hued chair in plush fabric and minimal wooden legs. It is a relaxed piece of furniture that radiates charm and romanticism. The soft-edged, cleanly pleated backrest wraps a circular seat and gold patterned cushion, adding a hint of modern retro to the room. The nimble detailing and indulgent textures make for statement furniture adding fun and gravitas to the interiors.
Muted shades like blush, teal, and lilac, create a gentle yet suave ambiance. The Peach Chaise embodies the cheeriness of the peach color, adding a soft, artistic aesthetic to the interiors. The plush peach fabric is accentuated with a subtly tufted detailing, curved edges, complementary minimal PU finished legs, and a cozy cushion with micro pleating details, channeling a dreamy and contemporary enthusiasm into the room. It can be paired with vivid forest or nature-inspired colors and motifs in wallpapers, tiles, and statement accessories to create a vibrant interior.
Modern adaptations of conventional festive décor, made in eco-conscious materials, with imaginative etchings, carvings, or inlays add integrity to the interiors. Statement lighting in metallic and tonal hues or even semi-precious stones, add delicate light patterns, highlighting the space. Artisanal accessories such as ceramics, stoneware, pottery, Urulis, and vases in assorted materials and shapes further enhance the existing décor by creating integrated sensorial experiences. A combination of fresh flowers, aroma diffusers, and fragrant candles can also enhance the décor by adding a pleasing aroma to the house.

- This initiative expanded from 1,000 farmers in 2016 to over 2,000 farmers in 2025, demonstrating the successful scaling of sustainable agriculture practices
- Empowers farmers with new age technology, sustainable farming practices and more business opportunities
- Procures 14,000+ tons of domestic barley in 2025, strengthening India’s position in malt-quality barley production
Farrukhnagar, February 19th, 2025 – AB InBev India, the leading beer and beverage company, marked the 5th Annual Barley Growers Day, reaffirming its commitment to fostering a resilient and prosperous farming community through its pioneering SmartBarley Program. With over 2,000 farmers engaged, the initiative has significantly enhanced barley cultivation across Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh—regions that collectively contribute more than 50% of India’s barley production. The event underscored AB InBev’s unwavering commitment to building thriving communities and resilient agricultural supply chains by empowering farmers with skills, connectivity, and financial stability.

The event showcased a comprehensive displays of crop management trials and innovative agricultural technologies, and success stories from more than 350 progressive farmers. Since its inaugural edition in Sirsa in 2016, which focused on upskilling and digital connectivity for 1,000 farmers, the program has evolved into a comprehensive agricultural transformation initiative.
A cornerstone of AB InBev’s global Smart Agriculture initiative, the SmartBarley program has been instrumental in driving sustainable practices and improving livelihoods in key barley-growing regions since 2009. The initiative has achieved remarkable success, delivering consistent yield improvements of 5-15% and maintaining an unprecedented 99% compliance rate with industry quality standards, demonstrating the power of combining traditional farming wisdom with modern agricultural innovation.
“The beer industry stands as a powerful catalyst for economic growth in India, uniquely positioned at the intersection of agriculture, manufacturing, and hospitality,” said Kartikeya Sharma, President, AB InBev India. “Our sector’s strength lies in its inherently local and natural character, creating value from farm to glass. The impact extends far beyond direct employment – from empowering thousands of farmers through sustainable agriculture to energising an extensive network of suppliers, retailers, and hospitality partners. Through our SmartBarley Program, we’re leveraging this multiplier effect at scale, transforming barley cultivation into a cornerstone of rural prosperity while building a more sustainable and resilient agricultural future for India.”
The SmartBarley Program has emerged as a transformative force in India’s agricultural landscape, introducing innovative solutions to modernize barley cultivation. At its core, the initiative takes a multi-faceted approach to agricultural advancement, combining cutting-edge research in crop development with hands-on farmer education. Through its ecosystem of experts, technological tools and financial resources, the initiative has created a sustainable framework that positions farmers at the forefront of modern, efficient barley cultivation while promoting environmental stewardship.
Building on this vision, Abhinav Bodas, Director – Procurement & Sustainability, AB InBev India, emphasised the program’s innovative approach, “The success of our SmartBarley Program lies in its holistic integration of technology, sustainability, and community empowerment. By achieving 100% performance across all metrics for three consecutive years, we’ve proven that when farmers are equipped with the right tools, knowledge, and support, they become catalysts for transformative change. We are on our journey to creating a sustainable ecosystem where agricultural innovation drives both environmental stewardship and economic prosperity.”
Furthering its commitment to farmer welfare, AB InBev India is launching a groundbreaking vision care initiative for the barley farming community in Farrukhnagar, Haryana. This program addresses a critical yet often overlooked aspect of agricultural productivity – farmer vision health. Research has shown that clear vision can boost individual productivity by up to 32%, making it a crucial factor in agricultural efficiency. The comprehensive initiative will provide vision screenings to 400 barley farmers, along with the distribution of eyeglasses and specialized care referrals where needed. Beyond individual farmers, this program promises to create a ripple effect of positive change, as improved vision enables farmers to better support their families, contributing to both household well-being and community prosperity.
Looking ahead, AB InBev India plans to expand the program’s reach while maintaining its focus on sustainable practices and farmer empowerment. This expansion comes at a crucial time, as India’s barley sector shows strong potential for growth, with domestic demand expected to increase by 15% compared to 2015 levels.
