Indian inspired guest room

By livyschoolgirl

So lately I have been contemplating how to decorate my guest room to make it crazy fun while still being a nice space for guests. In a hunt for inspiration I turned to my tried and true method - magazine flipping. I picked out several things that I liked and it turned out they all had the same theme - ornate Indian details with bold bright colors! After I thought about it for a while I realized that I was probably predisposed to picking out those pictures since I'd seen a Bollywood film recently and fell in love with their use of fresh marigolds in wedding decorations.

Currently the guest room is a dark blue from the previous owners which might actually work with my new decorating scheme. I have toyed with the idea of painting the walls a henna color or perhaps more of a tan to create a nice canvas for all the bright bold details of the room. We shall see, I'll play with the different things I have and see what looks the best.

If you have any pictures of Indian inspired rooms/decor I would absolutely love to see them! Help me make this room a special and funky space...

Total votes: 4 Should the bedroom stay dark blue or be painted a different color for my Indian theme?
Vote Keep it blue!
Vote I choose henna colored walls!
Vote Another color would probably work best

I always associate India with rich shades of reds and pinks.  You could experiment with draping lots of pretty gauzy fabrics or even better find some saris online.

I've always wanted to create a tented guest room complete with those plush floor cushions.
