Another mega post, On Demand!
Call them
Indian style bedrooms, or
Bedrooms inspired by India, or
Indian bedrooms
Here they are:
A collection of inspiration for turning your sleep abode into a piece of India!
But wait, this is just Part I of inspiration!
In Part Deux (aka' next post), I will share ideas on how readers outside India can re-create a mini India in their homes. From resources and stores available to you in your continent!
A touch of contemporary, a hint of tradition, loads of creativity and you have the recipe for today's bedroom design
Simple furnishing, modern chandelier. A traditional pichwai painting as the focal point in the room. A day bed of sorts in the niche of one wall, with cushions and bolsters
Gorgeous metal relief panel behind the bed. And matching cushions
Bed platform made from brick and mortar. Jaali (lattice work) design in the background
Wall mural above the bed with wooden puppets
Fabric/old paintings in gilt edged frames make a dramatic statement. Jasmine flowers in bowls as natural room freshener
Understated elegance. Rugs add a touch of color to this room
Straight line furniture. Dark wood goes well with an Indian setting
Another view of the bedroom with painting
Hint of Morocco?
Platform beds are quite popular in contemporary homes
Four Poster beds and drapes...
Umm...indulge in yards and yards of fabric! Sarees put to good use here
Silk bed cover, and fine muslin drape
Dreamy mosquito nets can be drapes too
Canopied bed
Gorgeous headboards
Kitschy bed! Old ceramic tiles and prints of Indian Gods and Goddesses adorn the headboard
Beautiful carved headboard
Old carved panel used as headboard here. Ikat fabric pieces on the ladder..
Sumptuous enough for a king..or a queen!
India. Means colors and vibrancy.
India. Also means simplicity and restrain
Charpai type bed
Simple adornment with a flower motif on the wall
And finally a look at traditional rooms. Bedrooms from the opulence of palaces...
Recreate a royal tent by covering the walls with India inspired fabric!
...to the grace of village homes
A bedroom from kutch

Happy Weekend!
