Indian traditional home decor is essentially forged in the crucible of multiple regional cultures. It’s diverse, multi-faceted, but full of colours. However, you cannot model traditional Indian home decor based on temples, palaces and other monuments. Imagine what would happen if you try to fit the design of a grand Haveli into your compact apartment? There is a huge mismatch in scale. Which is why, using Indian traditional home interior design ideas to add those desi touches to your home is much more workable, affordable and doable!
For a realistic picture of how traditional Indian home interior decoration comes together, you can check out some of our Livspace homes.

The gold chandelier and wall sconces add a certain luxury to the room.
Don’t miss on the intricate wooden swing, amping up the opulence factor by a thousand! This Livspace home, or should I say this bungalow, has it all.
Additionally, sleek diamond shaped mirrors adorn the cream patterned walls; that is a contemporary touch to this otherwise dated space.
