The beauty of a wallpaper is that it can completely reframe a space like large-scale art. But with Soie Lumiere, the latest launch by UDC Homes, walls become art in itself. It’s tangible storytelling, hand-finished excellence, and textile-led design, all woven into a single collection.
Translating to “silk light” in French, Soie Lumiere is as suggestive as its name suggests. “We wanted to create something that felt like a whisper of couture for your walls. This collection brings together fabric, embellishment, and light in a way that feels intimate, expressive, and completely unique,” says Anya Desai, creative director at UDC Homes.
The collection is handcrafted from slub linen, mulberry silk, and metallic textiles, with each wallpaper featuring embroideries, hand-paintings, or detailed with 3D reliefs and pearls.
Global surface techniques come alive through collaborations with artisans across India, Europe, and East Asia. It exudes a design language that’s restrained luxurious, deeply textured yet delicately modern.
Take Dancing Ginkgo, for instance. Ginkgo leaves twist and float on a silk backdrop, embroidered with fine wire to create a soft three-dimensional effect. It captures nature’s quiet grace in all its glory. Then there’s Snowfall Silk—a pale-hued wallpaper studded with embroidered pearls that shimmer like snowflakes resting on mountaintops. “It captures the stillness of winter, but in a way that feels wearable for a room,” says Anya.
Another standout is Jardin Bleu, a contemporary riff on chinoiserie. A romantic nod to traditional Eastern landscapes is the wallpaper collection across grey-blue silk with hand-painted florals and birds in flight stretch. While rooted in heritage, the piece feels refreshingly current—an ideal fit for both classic and modern interiors.
What truly sets Soie Lumiere apart is its couture-level customisation. Clients can tailor everything from the colour palette to the scale of the artwork. “This collection was created for someone who wants more than just decoration for their homes. It’s about creating a space that tells your story,” says Anya.
All pieces are handmade in India, yet the collection exudes a global vibe. Soie Lumiere is not just a wallpaper, but a heirloom-grade wall couture.
“In a world chasing trends, we’ve chosen to chase permanence. These walls don’t just speak—they remember,” Anya adds.
