Indian interiors, like Arabian style, include exotic rich colours and textures. Consider rich crimson walls with copper pillars and a red leather ottoman. Furniture is typically handcrafted and ornately carved using solid wood - you will usually see woods like ebony, rosewood, and teak used for everything from dining room chairs to chests and coffee tables - chair and tables traditionally feature curved armrests and legs - brightly painted cabinets are often embellished with decorative inlays of stone, metal, mirror, or ivory - informal seating areas in Indian homes often feature curved armrests and legs.

More robust materials, such as jute wrap ottomans, and more practical furniture. Hand woven and embroidered rugs and floor cushions are abundant in Indian houses. Beautifully coloured tapestries portraying flora, wildlife, and mandalas are utilised as window decorations, pillows, and throw blankets.
