Connecting with Indian culture and history, Indian interiors focus on hand-carved furniture, ornate doors carved with traditional motifs, and richly embroidered textiles. Your gateway to the exotic world of color and old word charm, Indian antiques and art convey the energy of beautiful traditions that encourage prosperity and happiness.
Intricately carved and handcrafted, authentic Indian furniture is rustic yet very solid. Coffee tables with old doors made from reclaimed doors or cabinets that have chakra-carved doors with pops of color, the designer in you will want to throw in sari pillows for dramatic effect. Exotic color and texture play off the sumptuously carved teak headboard that embraces the hand-stamped quilt with rich, luxurious detailing. Sari drapes glamorize the windows and antique banjara tapestry adds a classic vibe to the bedroom.
Indian décor is rich in colour, pattern and texture, an authentic antique damchiya fills the room with an exotic touch. An antique Indian bullock cart bench draped with colorful cushions transforms this urban New York apartment into a vibrant, energized space. Block-print cotton throws are scattered on the sofas, and an antique triple arch graces the main wall in the living room. Unique architectural remains and paintings are the focus and add a splash of color against the white wall. A massive brass clad hope chest sits in the foyer and is useful for storing extra blankets.
Indian design is often opulent, but some Indian interiors are very simple. A mix of British Colonial style as seen in the antique rosewood cabinet with etched glass or the stunning Burmese teak round table with double bases and upturned legs gives interiors an eclectic bohemian appeal. The carved turquoise console table serves as a sofa table and is used to display family photos. A huge wall mirror made from an antique arch sits on the other side of the custom built dining table with an antique door. Barn doors made with Ganesha and Krishna carvings in the guest room make a unique statement.
An arched lotus screen filters sunlight, and a hand-carved floral sofa graces the living room. The carving is so delicate and detailed that it takes your breath away. Indian interior design is all about balancing energies and creating a place that promotes health and prosperity. An ancient Ganesha gate graces the entrance and you are greeted by a carved statue of Krishna, the Hindu god who preserves beauty and peace in the world.
