Trends in a handmade craft move slower than fashion — but they do move. Based on what customers from Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Surat and across India have been asking for this year, here's where epoxy resin art seems to be heading.
1. Functional Pieces Over Purely Decorative Ones
We're seeing steadily rising demand for resin furniture, trays, and tabletops — pieces that double as art and serve a daily function — over purely decorative wall panels alone. Customers increasingly want their resin investment to earn its keep.
2. Warmer, Earthier Palettes
While cool ocean tones remain popular, there's a clear rise in requests for warm terracotta, amber, and gold-leaf palettes — a shift that mirrors broader interior design trends toward warmer, more grounded colour schemes in Indian homes.
3. Personalised Keepsakes Beyond Weddings
Varmala preservation remains popular, but we're seeing growing demand for baby milestone keepsakes, pet memory pieces, and anniversary preservation work — resin's use as a "memory material" is expanding well beyond wedding season.
4. Corporate Gifting Going Handmade
More businesses are moving away from generic branded merchandise toward handmade, locally-made corporate gifting — resin keychains, coasters, and nameplates offer a way to gift something that feels considered, at a price that scales with order size.
5. Larger-Format Statement Pieces
As home renovations and new builds favour larger open-plan living spaces, we're fielding more requests for genuinely large-format wall panels — 24x36 inches and above — sized to hold their own against bigger walls and higher ceilings.
6. Custom Over Ready-Made
More customers are choosing to commission a piece to their exact space and palette rather than buying ready-made — a shift toward treating resin art as considered, semi-permanent home investment rather than an impulse decor purchase.
None of these trends replace the fundamentals — resin art is still, at its core, about colour, light, and patient craft. But it's worth knowing where things are heading if you're planning a piece for your own home this year.
