Modern decor style often features a mix of neutral tones, including beige, ivory, gray, and white.
You can adopt this style in your homes by choosing neutral/pale tones for your walls. It is best to place traditional furniture or antique pieces and accessories against neutral-colored walls in order to bring out their beauty since traditional furniture and accessories are usually elaborate pieces with bright, intricate patterns.

A great way to infuse some personality and charm into your living space is by mixing and matching old and new designs.
While modern homes tend to prioritize function over form, Indian homes are often designed with intricate detailing and traditional motifs. To strike the perfect balance between the old and the new, why not add antique accessories or decor elements that you have into your home's design? For instance, you can display vintage brass or silverware on a modern glass shelf or hang an antique tapestry on a plain white wall to create a stunning focal point. To add a touch of modernity, pair these old elements with modern furniture pieces that feature clean lines and minimalistic designs. For example, you can place a vintage wooden chest of drawers next to a sleek metal-framed bed or use traditional Indian rugs or carpets to create contrast against modern concrete or tile flooring. By mixing and matching old and new elements, you can create a space that's unique, elegant, and perfectly suited to your personal style.

Indian art pieces and handwoven textiles can be added to modern interior design. For instance, you could use handwoven textiles like ikat, block print, and chikankari in contemporary furniture pieces such as chairs, ottomans, and cushions. You can pair these fabrics with sleek metal or wooden frames, creating a beautiful contrast between traditional and modern styles. And who can forget the art? Traditional Indian art forms such as Madhubani and Warli paintings are being used in contemporary homes as wall art or as inspiration for graphic prints on curtains and upholstery. By blending traditional Indian crafts and textiles with modern design sensibilities, designers are creating stunning spaces that showcase the rich cultural heritage of India.
