A swirl of wine, a dash of rust. Oxblood and its heady, old-world charm has swept us off our feet, beckoning a ruby renaissance. Red’s adversary, a hue deeper than cherries, it is indulgence incarnate.

The Inspiration
History stands witness to the enchanting side-effects of Oxblood. The hue dons many hats — a long-foregone leather dye, a rare ceramic glaze named Sang de boeuf and a Dior muse. Let its nostalgic glamour pull you over to the dark(er) side.
The Features
Oxblood’s allure is not merely visual. Designed by Kirti Dodeja, the decadent hue disguises the irregular ceiling within a surrealist bathroom, absolving the need for any structural additions. Crafted within a Goan villa by Isprava, golden accents and snow-hued terrazzo further add to the space’s bewitching appeal.
The Products
A steadfast muse, Oxblood’s age-old charisma shines just as bright through modern-day reinterpretations. Opt for a crimson classic (or two) and let your interiors brim with the beguiling hue.
