1. This home in North India celebrates all things South Indian
We love the simplicity of this living room and how the blue chair and artwork pop against the sand-colored walls. The wall art gives the space character without drawing too much attention away from the focal points of the room.
The modern coffee table complements the midcentury modern style armchair, while the side table and lamp add traditional elements. These elements blend old-world and new-world style in this space.
2. Step Inside the Delhi Home of an Indian Princess
The living room of this Indian princess is a feast for the eyes and combines bright, vibrant colors beautifully. It’s the epitome of Indian home décor and was clearly designed with entertaining in mind.
The large mirror helps make the room feel more spacious and brighter. Careful placement of the sofas provides a comfortable space to relax and converse with friends, family or guests. The ottoman-style seating on the opposite wall creates a more relaxed space. Poufs can serve as room dividers and additional places to sit.
An abundance of colorful pillows makes the space cozy and inviting.

In this Rajasthani-style home, guests truly get comfortable. The floor sofa’s mustard color keeps the vibrant pillows, area rug and curtains grounded. The hanging pendant lamps and plants add to the cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
Despite the abundance of colors and patterns in this space, it still feels balanced and inviting. The key is to incorporate like-colors and to choose just a few dominant hues to play off of.
