Indian theme bedroom?
Question:I want a moroccon/indian style bedroom with lots of bold colors and a variety of textures. My room is somewhat small (11 x 13) Another design element I'm asking you to consider-- We have a king size loft bed. The bed on top, and underneath is our computer/work space area. We also have a flat screen, dresser, and a standing floor length mirror. All ideas welcome! Please the more website, floor plans, and pictures the better! Thanks a million!

One good website to see is Ebay india. They have loads of accessories and furniture that are very Indian. Once you get an idea, you can try to find the same here in US. Also Dipali (deepali) emporium is a good source to find indian stuff.
In places like Pier 1 imports you can find Indian style vases and decorative elements like statues of elephants and buddha(he was an Indian not east asian like most ppl think) which u can use to decorate your place. I am confused as to how u can use a loft bed in a traditional bedroom with computer and all. It will be a mismatch according to me. In an Indian bedroom you can use a regular bed with beddings in the color of reds, yellows and maroons. Throw loads of shams and pillows in bright colors on your bed. You can color the walls a hue of orange in an earth tone. Have heavy brocade curtains in the color of bed covers or other accessories. You can make use of your dresser to display various decorative elements like vases etc. A colorful chandelier or a hurricane style electric lamp in a bright color(which ever you have chosen as your primary color) will add to the richness of the room. Flat screen tv can be mounted on the wall instead of placed on a stand. Your floor length mirror can be placed in a corner with some colorful rice paper lanterns hanging on its side. Only thing I cannot visualise in the room is your loft bed with work space below. If it can be separated you can use the bed as a reg bed and have a small dark wood work desk for your PC in a corner of the room. Maybe you can transfer it altogether to another room if thats possible. You can use lots of candles to accessorize too.
My fav websites would be ebay india and pier 1 imports.
I hope this helps.
I would go with rich jewel tones, brocades, golds & deep maroons. Be generous with fringe, beads, tassels on the accent pillows and lamps.
Use lots of lamps and you can get away with using a darker color palette.
Good luck!
