Indian antique style room? I redoing my bedroom and be thinking about doing something East Indian...
I redoing my bedroom and be thinking about doing something East Indian close to with antique-y things.
Okay, capably clearly I need facilitate coming up with concept. Wall colours? I am leaning towards a grey one. Curtains? The floors? I was thinking going on for getting a few persian rugs (fake ones, I am on a budget), in shady colours, and covering the floor with them, so they would over knees and stuff. It looks good surrounded by my mind, but how do you think it would play out?
I know I can find a great deal of cheap things on Main Street, which also has a moment or two india.
Answers: Gret to find someone with my decor partiality atlast!! I think that for colour design why not look at the rich jewel colours of saris? using colours approaching deep reds peacock blues/greens golds and try to find somewere that you can procure the bell bandles dancers wear to use as tye backs for curtaians made from saris (use 3, 2 joinedntogether withe a 5 inch seam and swept to the sides afterwards tied back beside the bandles of a slightly thick cloth and one hung across the adjectives window span of a flimsy cloth to allow sunlight surrounded by without destroying the decor)? Also Middle Eastern/ Asian society sit on floors alot so why not see if you can get some red and gold ingots printed cloth sewn into big floor cusions in square and tube shapes adjectives with lots of taste hanging from the corners or contained by the centre of the flat edges of the tubes, too. Goto your nearest DIY shop and see going on for gettin 2 pieces of fret work boared and come fancey dado railing stroips cut to size of boards and then blend them with gold ingots hinges to label a 'sun' screen and any spray paint it gold or stain it a mahogony colour. Boards cost around lb10 the dado would cost about another lb7 and the other bits more or less lb5/6. Also if painting the walls remember this rule if you are going for reds next have orrenge or cerise pink beside it and paint the wood work gold or hunt around for gold ingots patternend wall paper and fasten on with PVA epoxy resin. The Indian peoples also go big on reflective immages so find somewere that sell reflective mosaic tiles and glue them on to things so that they ambush the light at adjectives times. If you or someone you know is arty then catch them to draw a murial on your wall ot the Taj Mahal or something surrounded by gold or white painted 'frame' within the shape of one of those 'onion domed' arches you see alot of on those places. But the focal point of the room has to be a coloured cup lantern type light shade that have atleast 6-8 sides hanging from the ceiling. Oh and see if theres a habberdashery (cloth selling shop) contiguous as most of these things you could buy even cheeper tha in Little India or but for they could atleast provide you with the gold ingots baubles and bells etcetra to embellish your room at a die of a few pence. Look out for gold coloured sleigh bells, you get hold of them in plentiful different sizes and they can range from roughly 10p to lb1 depending on the size you want. They also might sell sari type cloths by the metre, plentifully cheeper than the real item, and everything else too if it is a very accurate one (don't worry if you cannot sew use PVA bonding agent to stop edges fraying). Also look out for fake precious stone coloured glass beadstrings too to attach to curtains aswell. I do not know the place you are from but look in a phone book below Craft shops Habberdashery Shops or Cloth Shops and you could find somewere in you place or not to far away. For rugs why not acquire some cheep persian style rugs at your local market? I lately bought a 3foot by 5foot one for about lb20 but if you shop around you could find things cheeper than I've said. Or buy come raffia mat and go undomesticated painting them beside your own sudo Asian designs. Also one last entry if you are thinking of having any elephants contained by your room remember that their trunks HAVE to be turned upwards otherwise, so th Indians say, their luck and the households luck will run away I enjoy also thought of one more entity you may try adding to the decor see if you can win a cheep plain 'stone' 3 foot vase near some peacock feathers in of late to add another touch, providing you are not allergigc to them ofcause. I go for simillar design but as I'm more Middle Eastern orientated I used camels, wich has started me past its sell-by date collecting absolutely anything I can find next to them on! But both areas have simmilar decrotive philosophy. Just think ALi Baba and be in motion wild as an Asian/ Middle Eastern room should be moderately colourful and a little over the top. Have fun.

okay...first of adjectives...nice idea =]
and i'd totally travel for a dark red/purple colour and afterwards the curtains could maybe be a nice shade of bleak orange...goodluck =]
