You can also add accent walls or Indian motif wall panels, and pair this with simple drop lights to complete the look.

3. Enhance your living room with accent walls

While Indian motif furniture is surely making a comeback, it may not be preferred by all as it falls in a more maximalist kind of a design aesthetic. However, you can still add Indian motif wall panels to upgrade your walls and create a more welcoming and homely atmosphere. You can choose simple geometric patterns inspired by traditional Indian marble inlay work or you can opt for something more floral as seen extensively in many patterns finding roots in crafts from across the country to add a touch of our heritage to your home.

5. Add stackable furniture to seat your guests

One of the biggest concerns we all have when we are entertaining a lot of guests is having ample seating for them. Not all of us may have enough space to store extra furniture, hence, it is important to look at alternative ways in which we can add more seating if needed. Stackable furniture like stackable chairs or stools are a great way to enhance the capacity of your space without them taking up too much space to store when not in use. You can get them made using sturdy wood or you can even look at metal ones depending on your budget and availability of space.

Add sculptures, paintings etc to make your space more beautiful and artsy as they are not just amazing to look at, but make for great conversation pieces too. You could be a lover of the Madhubani art, or you can enjoy minimalistic art, pick your style and make sure that your art reflects your aesthetic and design preferences. From having Indian motif wall panels that make a beautiful background for Indian metallic sculptures to traditional wooden surfaces that create the perfect background for landscape paintings, you can add more layers and depth to your design with a harmonious fusion of textures, designs and colours. You can also look at Indian style lights, crystal chandeliers or other interesting decorative lights that act as focus pieces across your home.
