Get inspired by Indian Architecture Eras – New palette collection live now.
Taking you on a material ride across eras is our new series of material palettes – Indian Architecture Eras. The Mughal architecture palette perfectly captures the opulence and royalty of its creators. It is suited for Indian-inspired interiors, like restaurants, public lounges, living rooms, etc. The Cave architecture palette on the other hand has very strong earthy influences present and is perfect for houses that want to have warmth in their interiors. It can be best used in houses that opt for a very wooden and natural earthy vibe. The Kalinga architecture palette portrays the influence of the ancient Kalinga empire. It is bold and has loud warm tones, and will be a very strong choice for Indian-inspired interiors. The Dravidian palette pays tribute to the beautiful Dravidian style of architecture. The palette has a healthy balance of subtle and loud shades and is a deconstructed take on Dravidian architecture.. Lastly, the Indo-Saracenic palette was developed taking inspiration from the Indian style and mixing it with British influence. This can be utilized best for your living room interiors or even posh dining rooms.
