If decorators can pull off an uninhibited style and have a flare for the exotic, they might be perfect candidates for designing an Indian theme room. Here are tips for exploring the trendy look that is looking less and less foreign with its newfound popularity.

Colors for an East Indian Theme Room
Bright color is key to an authentic Indian look. Bold reds, brilliant turquoise, and vibrant orange are set off with the glitter of gold embroidery and lacquer. Because the color array is so broad, decorators might consider settling on their focal point first. A color scheme will fall into place easily once tapestries have been chosen for the windows, or an Indian area rug for the center of the room.

Layered colors work well in an Indian theme room. For example, decorators can choose one shade of turquoise for the curtains, another for the throw pillows, and a third for the walls.

Furniture for an Asian-Indian Style Room
Elaborately carved wood is integral to Indian décor. Archways, window lattices, pillars, balconies, and even ceilings display intricate woodwork. Decorators can introduce this motif into their home with carved furniture, accent pieces, mirrors and picture frames.

Wooden furniture in the Indian style is ornately embellished with carvings and ivory, metal, or brass wire inlays. Pieces designed for seating are generally lower than western couches and stools.
