The combination of luxury, splendor, gold, fine taste, modesty, simplicity of shapes and lines - this is an interior in Indian style. A mixture of colors, ornaments, textures, drawings, carved and inlaid furniture, chairs and tables, screens and doors that have changed roles - all this is Indian style.
A large part of Indian style came from Persia - some ornaments, elements of Greek style, which Persia, in turn, took from the Greeks. However, the art of India is very much on its own. This style fascinates with mystery and sensuality. On the one hand, it is quite exotic and simple, on the other hand, it feels romantic and mysterious.
Indian interior style is very interesting and beautiful. It is as original as Egyptian interior style. Sometimes, even the simplest things are unexpectedly decorated with the most beautiful complex ornaments. The love of Indians for jewelry pushes them to create amazing openwork carvings and unique ornaments to decorate furniture and other decorative items. Such details won’t leave anyone indifferent; they will bring romance, fairy tale, and taste of distant wanderings into a house.
An important place in Indian style is given for by wicker, carved and lacquered wood products, for example, a stool with a wicker seat and carved lacquer legs is typical.
It is the handmade work of masters that makes each item unique in its own way. Rosewood, rattan, and teak are typically used materials. The style of furniture varies from simple to elegant, while gentle natural or dark solid shades are chosen.
Modern Indian style is distinguished by lush draperies, wood painting and carving, the use of bright colors of orange, crimson, shades of blue. It is a must to use multi-colored decorative pillows.
To create Indian style in your interior, it is best to use two or three items that complement each other. It is better to choose the most distinctive carved stylish Indian things and mix them with the modern interior of the house.
For example, a low Indian table with thick straight legs. A typical Indian option is tables or stools of different heights that can be placed one above the other, thereby saving space in a room. The second distinguishing Indian thing is a narrow low cabinet with doors. And the third typical piece of furniture is a screen, which is perfect for a bedroom. Fully carved with original patterns, it only hints at the division of space.
Indian style bed is a wooden frame with a coarse cotton mattress stuffed with coconut tow. Indian mattresses are valued all over the world, because they are made from natural environmentally friendly material. A tented canopy made of translucent fabric is often hung over the bed. Use of satin, velvet, brocade, silk on windows with lush draperies, it will allow you to convey with maximum accuracy all the nuances of the Indian style.
An important element of Indian style is the use of carpets made from natural materials. They can be placed on walls and floors.
Wall decoration with silk or ornamental stone panels, multi-colored pillows on the sofa, hookah, sandalwood chess, glass lamps of different colors, figures of cows, snakes, crocodiles, antelopes, elephants and much more will bring an unforgettable spirit of India into a house. Especially worth mentioning are figures of elephants, which are so respected in this country.
Bright national dishes also look very nice. Lit candles floating in a special bowl will add mystery, romance and passion to any ordinary evening.
