Paradox For those who live life in full color. Dramatic pieces, staged color. Intense pulsating spaces with a mix of vibrant colors. This look captures an edgy India modern style. Today people do not want a completely matched look in their homes. A scene is set and staged with effect. Strong furniture pieces, ornamental cushions, mirrors and over scaled accessories make it a curtain raiser. Just as in a theatre, the colors are bold, vivid and stand out. Like distinct characters, clashing colors call out joyfully. A happy mix of blues, greens, yellows and a dash of purple make a noteworthy performance. Sheer drama, this is a palette to make an entrance grand. Bedrooms become playhouses and living rooms theatrical settings.
