Home Decor Trend: Stencil the Glamour of India

Indian Patterns In Rich, Vibrant Colors Are Appearing In Home Decor

Good morning my stenciling, home decor trendsetters!  Anytime us gals as Cutting Edge Stencils hear the words rich, vibrant and exotic in the same sentence we are as smitten as a bunch of school girls! And where did we hear those vivacious words?  Well as it turns out, we recently spotted designers embracing vivid jewel-tone colors and sumptuous patterns beloved by maharajas for centuries over on ElleDecor.com.  Here are some of the lovely items we spotted over there which include decked out earrings by Oscar de la Renta,a gorgeous Sari Shift Dress and pants by Marchesa Spring 2013, and a Kerala Headboard by John Robshaw…

 

These are DEE-LICIOUS, right?!  Well it didn’t take long for these jewel toned, Indian-inspired and Indian-made decor to start popping up in home decor all over, from Pottery Barn and Anthropologie to ABC Carpet & Home to West Elm.  Below is the gorgeous Everett Armchair from West Elm that you can see has a pattern inspired by this trend.

These fabrics and furnishings are so lovely that we couldn’t be happier to see them become so popular!  And we want to help you introduce them into your home! Have no fear my stencil friends.  If you find this decor appealing, then there are easy ways for you to introduce it into your space.  Today we’re going to walk through some quick and easy ways that you can start adding glamorous Indian inspired decor into your home using our Stencils…

From throw pillows to curtains there are many simple ways to introduce an Indian-inspired pattern like the paisley stencil design!  Here is a gorgeous example using Vintage Paisley Stencil.  This pillow had the paisley design stenciled in a neutral beige on a rich, ruby red fabric.  We think it’s HOT!

Or if you’re feeling a little bit more adventurous then check out this gorgeous and oh-so-popular Indian Inlay Stenciled table.  Leah painted her table in a soothing shade of turquoise and then stenciled the Indian Inlay Stencil Kit to give it that Indian-decor appeal.

Rebecca, the crafty blogger behind You’re Talking Too Much took this trend to her home’s exterior. Be prepared to be WOW’d by this next project.  Rebecca used the Indian Inlay Stencil Kit to stencil an outdoor rug for her patio space. Stunning, right?

What do you think?  Are you loving the Indian-inspired decor as much as we are?  We knew you would!  So if you ready to embrace the trend as much as we are then you’re gonna love the idea of embellishing your walls with the Sari Paisley Stencil.  Here is a design that is sure to get rave reviews when used ALLOVER!  Whether you chose a jewel-tone blue…

Or rich earthy brown, this exotic design is sure to add some Indian style to your space.
