Varnish

The varnished surfaces are other characteristic sign of the Indian interior.

Varnishing carries out not only decorative function it is also very practical - the varnished covering protects furniture from humidity and termites.

Over a varnish drawing paints can be executed which sometimes is put or scratched on the top of varnish coat (the bottom layer, other color should be visible).

Not only the furniture and walls in the Indian house can be varnished and almost all elements of an interior – in this case sun rays are reflected from all surfaces indoors, filling with its pleasant light.

Furniture

The furniture in the Indian house can be the most different colors, forms and the sizes, but always it is made of a tree.

A nut or a tic is often used to make furniture.

Wooden furniture is decorated by list, incrustations, metal and inserts of a tree of other breeds.

The traditional Indian bed is called «chapra» and it is made so: four fine-molded, polished legs are varnished and fixed to the rectangular frame fitted by an outline. Then multi-colored ropes are laid hardly pulled which form a pattern of bright strips and squares.

The same techniques are applied and for pirri – low Indian stools.

The screen – the next attribute of the Indian interior, as a rule, is made of a tree and decorated by a carving, incrustations and various miniatures.

This element of an interior can be used for room zoning. The screen won't be simply dividing partition – it becomes the present ornament of a premise.

Details

The interior of the rooms stylized under the Indian house, should include numerous decorative details, like dishes, trays and various caskets. Images of characters and scenes are put on such elements from the Indian mythology, portrait miniatures and so on.

The various figures are the most popular for an interior ornament, such as the figures of animals for example symbolizing prosperity, figures of elephants. It can be also the figures of representing horses, cows, antelopes, snakes and crocodiles.

Figures can be executed from the most different materials: from a bone, a tree, nephrite and so on.

Add an interior of the room which has been issued in the Indian style, a graceful chess little table, a hookah, the lamps which have been executed from multi-colored glass, decorative pillows and carpets.

The collection of similar things will create the atmosphere of the colonial Indian house.

Let's notice it’s not necessary to do an Indian interior no – you can pick up some subjects and "enter" them in a modern design of a room.

Elements of the Indian style will present an ekzotichnost and romanticism to an interior of a room.
