Indian ideas...?

Question

i want to redo my room so that it will look indian themed. i have a pink canopy and some indian themed fabric covered chair... any ideas?

Answer 1

Get a Morovian star to hang in one corner; sometimes they're lights.  Any of the glass tiled vases or mirror frames.  Use other bright colors in the room with your pink - turquoise, green, orange, and black somewhere - to ground all these bright colors.

Answer 2

I am also thinking about making my living room Indian themed or at least influenced. I think the key to Indian decor is lots of deep, rich colors. Usually you see deep reds, magentas, plums, golds, and browns, but I think you need to offset it with  contrasting cool colors, like teal and lavender. Then think genie bottle. Some curvy glass vases add excitement. I like the "Tivoli" vases from Crate and Barrel (crateandbarrel.com), and they're very inexpensive. Then use peacock feathers wherever possible. You can also get dyed peacock feathers that are tinted in different shades like red or teal, and they add some more color. Then pillows, pillows, pillows. Lots of throw pillows in fabrics like silk and velvet and colors like burgundy and gold will make your bed more Indian. Richly colored curtains would be nice, too. Some candles and wooden candle holders will complete the look. I also think with this style you have to remember to keep things very orderly, or it just looks muddled and cluttered. Hope it works out!
