Thank You City Saheli!

I am so honored to be featured on CitySaheli, and wanted to share the news with everyone! Be sure to check out CitySaheli.

Decorating a home is never an easy undertaking. Choosing a design scheme can help focus your search and make the job easier. A great option is to look to South Asia for inspiration and guidance. Today, authentic South Asian decor and textiles are very popular and can be found everywhere, from high end specialty shops to retail chain stores. India’s use of vibrant colors, unique textiles, distinct patterns and detailed wood carvings have inspired numerous western designers in their home décor lines. Today you don’t need to travel across the continent to get some South Asian flavor.

Finding the right pattern or piece of furniture to fit your space takes time and patience. In a search to help our Sahelis find the perfect South Asian inspired décor, CitySaheli came across an eye-catching blog, BollyInstyle, which focuses on anything and everything South Asian inspired. Shital, the woman behind BollyInstyle, brings to her readers links and photos of new fashion, furniture, accessories, products, designs, events, and more, with a focus on Asia and India. Shital strives to expose India’s colorful culture, feminine design, and glamorous style. For a taste and some fantastic designs, check out the inspiration board below.

So, when decorating your home, look to your roots. South Asian inspired goods are everywhere, keep your eye out and add this flavor to your everyday life.

THANK YOU very much to CitySaheli for the feature!

Indian Rosewood Tape Dispenser

Indian rosewood is found throughout India and Pakistan, which is also called Sissoo or Shisham.

Typically, Indian Rosewood makes the finest cabinet, furniture, and veneer pieces. I guess these versatile trees can also be the source of these beautiful crafted tape dispensers. I like the brass details, it gives it that unique touch.. This is a one-of-a-kind BollyInstyle find.

Pick Up a Loaf of Notebooks on Your Way Home

Seriously? A brilliantly cute idea by Burak Kaynak and Cem Has. These are not Indian-inspired but I absolutely love the idea. There is a small journal for each month of the year. I wonder if they will look just as good packaged in a Chapati style!  Meaning, they would be circular in shape.  What do you think?

If you are naturally born to organize, these small notebooks will be tempting.
