Glimpse – July 2019

Add vibrant
hues
Bright and
varied colors
are the
hallmark of
Indian interior
design. While
it’s hugely
tempting to
go crazy with
such a vast
palette, too
much color
can create
visual chaos.
Opt for earthy
tones – ochre yellows, rich browns and
burnt oranges for your walls and floors.
Yellows and pinks on the fluorescent
side of the spectrum and startling blues

and greens can be used for smaller

elements such as pillowcases or chairs.

You can also opt for a safe, bicolor theme

• using a neutral shade as a base color
  and bursts of a peppy primary color for
  accents.

Wall art

What you have on your walls can give

away precious clues about you as an

individual and a homeowner. Choose

for walk colours that define you,

choose deep and vivid colours that add

earthiness or vibrancy. To give pure

look of traditionalism you can try wall

papers or paints with traditional Indian

patterns. Like said above, make your

own little picture gallery on wall or just

put a contrasting large painting. You can

use your creativity, frame or pin up a

Kashmiri carpet or a dhurrie on the wall

as an art work.

Informal

spaces

Indian homes

also include

versatile,

informal

spaces that

allow relaxed

interaction.

Create

different

levels of

seating

using high

chairs, sofas, diwans and

footstools. Rugs and floor cushions lend

warmth and comfort to decor and can

be used liberally.

HOME DÉCOR

To awaken your inner home decor aesthete in a traditional Punjabi way is a brilliant idea. The

quintessential India aesthetics grabs attention really quick and brings warmth too. So if you want to

add a traditional eclecticism to your space then these elements are essential to your checklist.
