FIVE TIPS TO A DRAMATIC, SHOWSTOPPER HOUSE BY NISHA JAMVWAL

You don’t need a big budget or a complete makeover to revamp the look of your home

A metaphoric brush stroke here and a frill there

You will have livened up the space. 

Start small, but think big and bold

1. Place antique focal point chandeliers or funky star shaped glass lamps on tables or as pendulum lights. 

Whether a disco-inspired design or a tulle creation, an original lampshade is very chic. 

2. Clusters of candles, twinkling on a console, mounted upon gilded Portuguese stands against altar ornaments can make any evening look celebratory.

3. Rich paisley patterns are back says Donna Karan, lush patterns and decorative fabrics create a sense of splendour.

4. Warm spice colours like haldi, red chilli, marigold on cushions with antique coin sequins give the exotic tent-like feel.

5. Antique brocade on a curvilinear chaise cannot but create a regal mood for a space

This echoed with brocade bolsters and different sized cushions on chairs and a couch in the same area covered maybe in aubergine or teal gives it that essential drama

Carolina Herrera’s embellished silver not good only on dresses but looks stunning on throws and cushions too.
