We all love a change of atmosphere! Something new! Something fresh!.
Gone are the days when the only times we Indians thought about a change in the home-scene was for a marriage or any function!. People have become more expressive and individualistic. The same is echoed through their choice of outfits, personal accessories, automobiles and most importantly their choice of home decor.
Interior decor is no more a fancy word for our Indian households. Our community is loving and living the idea of having personalized home makeovers at varying budget scales. Here are some simple and affordable home decor ideas for Indian homes which help you idealize your own uniqueness!
1. Bring in the green
The plush flora is soothing!. Not just for the eyes but also for the soul too. There are numerous Indian home decor ideas which can help you to integrate live plants as vertical gardens or as potted plants to elevate your spaces with a touch of green. Easy to maintain and healthy-air promoting plants can be a perfect addition to bring in calmness and lightness to your space. Larger plants can even be added as statement pieces to your home decor. With the right kind of design theme, plants are a great way of adding that extra to your home. Artificial plants can also do the trick if you are the kind who dreads watering the plants!
2. Mix in the right style
Most of our Indian homes are filled with pieces from a multitude of different eras, locations, colors, and fabrics, often creating an ill-fit combination of design elements. Choosing the right kind of design theme can work wonders in creating a visual flow of spaces seamlessly! Taking a look at different design styles like minimalist, rustic, art- moderne, eclectic to name a few, can give the much needed inspiration and understanding of the need for having and creating a visually well balanced and well suited theme for your home. Often bringing these styles to your homes takes nothing much than a good aesthetic sense and can be very well brought about by usage of simple colors, use of certain fabrics, wall art, mirrors etc.
