Places I must visit: India
The closest I’ve ever been to India is eating a korma (and that probably wasn’t even that authentic!) but I’d love to go to one of the markets and be surrounded by traditional Indian craftsmanship. The colourful fabrics, intricate patterns and great attention to detail make their products so appealing. There really is nothing like handmade.

Indian interior style is as elaborate as their crafts- the use of intricate pattern and strong colour provides endless inspiration…

Although bright, these cushions, above, are in no way garish. Mix and match colours and textures sympathetically for an exotic result. I like the uniformity of the picture frames, it helps to keep the room sophisticated rather than childlike.

Wow!! Love love love all the images….so colourful & vibrant.
Honestly, I’d rather go to Morocco than in Iran. I choose safety over cultural inspiration. Well, Morocco doesn’t have that much difference with Iran… Same culture and same origin, same design aesthetic, etc. Try Morocco because influences from different countries created this interesting fusion of cultures, hence you’ll see it on their home designs and aesthetic choices. Iran’s culture is “limiting” and not adaptable to changes brought by time.
