With time, Lakhi’s age caught up with her, and she showed signs of slowing down, old injuries got inflamed and she seemed to prefer resting against the mud beds in her enclosure. Late Saturday evening on the 3rd of March, she seemed more weary than usual, and even as her knees buckled under her, Asha and Coco rushed to her side to support her. Asha appeared calm and strong, as if she knew in her own way that this was it – Coco panicked initially, rushing about and running circles around her fallen friend. The team rushed in, the crane was called in to lift her back to her feet and support her – the elephants moved aside and watched, Asha touching them gently as they huddled together. They stood back as the team tried to get her back to her feet, even the younger elephants seemed uncharacteristically calm. Maybe they knew, maybe they realised it was time to let go and had their chance to say their goodbyes, and wanted to let her pass in peace. Lakhi resisted being lifted, as if she too knew her time had come. She let out her final breath and slumped down against the mud bed, eyes shut looking like she was completely at peace. As the team moved away, heartbroken, Asha rumbled loudly from where she was standing, but none of the elephants moved – Coco let out a small wail, and from every enclosure elephants responded softly with rumbles, trumpets and huffs all the way from the bulls to the closerby females like Phoolkali like an orchestra of calm, reassuring solidarity for their fallen friend.

Joyner is partial to wood ceilings and foresees those growing in popularity next year. She explains how wood ceilings instantly bring warmth and richness to a space.
"It’s a great way to lend some texture and interest to a room that is designed to feel more neutral as well," Joyner explains.
Laouari says that tiled ceilings will soon be taking the design world by storm. Laouari explains how tiling the ceiling is a common trick of the trade that's quickly gaining popularity, which is why it won't be long until it becomes a signature feature in homes everywhere.
Another classical option is sculptural plasterwork, which will add plenty of ornate detailing to any ceiling in the home and has been experiencing a resurgence in the design world, according to Childress.
"These classic, hand-crafted elements introduce a level of artistry and depth that elevates the ceiling to be as stunning as the rest of the room," she says. "It’s a perfect nod to the past while embracing the present."
Wallpapering the ceiling has risen in popularity in recent years and will continue to remain in vogue in 2025, according to Joyner. The color and pattern you select is entirely up to you; go subtle or bold depending on your personal design style.
In addition to looking chic, wallpapering the ceiling and then painting the remaining four walls of a room can be a budget-friendly design tactic, Joyner says, noting that many wallpaper prints are quite expensive.
Jennifer Laouari, the co-founder of Morgan Madison Designs, likes to encompass an entire room in wallpaper when possible, even when square footage is lacking.
"In smaller spaces like foyers, a bold wallpaper wrapping from walls to ceiling creates a fully immersive experience," she says. "No surface is left untouched, ensuring every angle feels considered."
