Global Colors: India

The artistic sensibilities of Indian fine art and folk art arise from thousands or years of cultural upheaval. The country's design themes show influences of their Asian neighbors, periods of control by Greeks, Islamic conquerors, and English colonists, and the iconic religious motifs of Hinduism. All of these disparate influences come together to create a dynamic, vibrant and extraordinary design palette.
A room with decor inspired by India must be alive with vibrant color. The walls should be the color of a bright orchid or a sultry spice like curry. Pinks, purples, fuchsias, warm reds, oranges and yellows are all appropriate for Indian bedroom design. A wild play of color is welcome in India design; use any colors you find pleasing to your eye.
