Decorate Your Home with the Aura of India

In creating an Indian-inspired home interior, start by utilising a warm colour scheme such as a mixture of red, purples and oranges to create an exotic appeal of jewel colours. You can also accent these colours with hints of gold or rich deep blue and green. You can liberally use this colour scheme into your walls and ceilings and on your major furniture. However, when strong colours are not your thing, you can also opt to have taupe, beige and sand, among other warm, soft neutrals. On the other hand, you can cover your walls with wallpapers that have Indian designs, the most common of which is the paisley.

You can then utilise hardwood flooring of dark shade or ceramic tiles of pale and neutral shades for your Indian-inspired rooms. Moreover, accent your floors with woven floor rugs that have rich colours and Indian designs for an enhanced appeal. Furnish your rooms with intricately carved and designed furniture pieces too, for a more exotic appeal. Generally, Indian furniture items are rustic and solid in style. Also, since the Indian-inspired rooms typically exude an informal and relaxed look, consider adding plenty of throw pillows and floor cushions, among other similar items.

Take note as well that this endeavour also makes clever use of fabrics with Indian designs. Use luxurious-looking Indian fabrics as covers for pillows and cushions as well as tapestry, curtains, bed canopies, and the like. Souvenir items from India such as ornately carved wooden sculptures, elephant ornaments and figurines, Indian religious statues and imagery are also ideal decors to utilise.

These are just among the many suggestions you can take to bring the exotic appeal of India into your own home.
