I am an interior color fashionista, often playing with the 5 basic colors of Indian design, Vastu. The red spectrum aligns with fire, the colors of earth are brown, green, metal/air are silver, gold, and copper, water is the blue spectrum, and space is white or crystal.

The Indian prints, with mandalas and marigolds create a lot of joy and the mixture of unconventional patterns with modernist furniture creates an overall harmony that is rich and vibrant. Keep the color palette similar in the room section to keep the energy flowing. It’s all about balance whether it’s with turquoise blues or the lush reds that make me sing or even the subtle pale hues that speak volumes with their shadows.

Combining a variety of patterns and textures creates a compelling combination, and a layered look feels balanced rather than an overwhelming confusion of colors. Various paisley and jamavar pashmina throws along with pacca embroidered quilts in stonewashed solids give a wanderlust look. Accent with vintage sari pillow covers that give it the wow factor.

Choose patterns that feel harmonious and complement each other, antique barn doors complemented by an authentic vintage coffee table, textured woods and weathered paint taking vintage inspiration. Antique Indian cabinets painted with Ganesha and Krishna provide the energetic element that is necessary to create balance.

If you want to keep it simple, opt for arched bookcases in natural wood tones and sheer organza curtains with just a designer touch. A banjara embroidered accent pillow on a leather sofa, an antique doorway headboard in an ivory bedroom gives a refreshing look. Stay relaxed with soft cotton throws and pashmina throws in soft tones.

The powder room can have an element of surprise by using patterns in unexpected ways. Try mixing patchwork sari pillows randomly and mix them with wallpaper rolls, the effect can be quite electric.

Lighting is a beautiful way to accentuate old cabinets. Brass Nataraja Silhouette – Shiva’s shadows dancing on the wall create an amazing piece of art. Hand-carved vases with candles soften the edges and add a beautiful exotic vibe to the bedroom. Antique brass urns and peacock lamps grace the living room.

Pay the most attention to the northeast as this is your spiritual realm. Keep the 5 elements such as crystals, water fountain, candles and plants arranged in a beautiful way, connecting with the higher self. The colors are mainly blue and this will magnify your prosperity in all aspects of life.

Color your life with joy, happiness and abundance! Peace!
