How Kerala’s New Design Policy is Redefining Home & Office Interiors in 2026
Kerala is pioneering a design revolution. In 2025 the state unveiled the “Design by Future” policy, the first of its kind in India. This government-led initiative (led by the Public Works Department) aims to infuse sustainability, human-centric thinking and local culture into every building. As Tourism Minister P. A. Riyas notes, the policy will make public assets more sustainable, aesthetically appealing and user-friendly. Uniquely, it even guides private homeowners on thoughtful and visionary designs for their houses.
