1. Dramatic wallpapers: Choose colorful wallpapers with bold patterns, intricate designs, or abstract motifs in a spectrum of colors reminiscent of Holi. Consider accent walls or alcoves for a striking effect, or cover an entire room for an immersive experience.

“Integrating Holi-inspired art into modern interiors yields a myriad of advantages beyond mere visual allure. Primarily, it injects spaces with a vibrant energy, rejuvenating them and instilling a fresh sense of purpose,” elucidates Ar. Nirmala Banaji, Principal Architect at Banaji & Associates.

2. Artworks: Invest in paintings, prints, or photographs that feature bold hues and striking compositions. Look for artwork that reflects the festive spirit of Holi, such as abstract expressionism or traditional Indian art forms like Madhubani or Warli. Mix and match different pieces to create visual interest.

“One of the most striking features of Holi-inspired art installations is their ability to evoke a visceral response from viewers. The bold, contrasting colours and dynamic forms stimulate the senses, inviting observers to immerse themselves in a multisensory journey,” says Ar. Pallavi Pashine, Co-founder & Principal Architect at Salankar Pashine & Associates.

3. Upholstery or Cushioning: Update your cushions, curtains, and rugs with vibrant fabrics and textures. Opt for bright solids, playful patterns, or traditional Indian textiles like ikat or block prints. Experiment with mixing and matching colors to create a cohesive yet eclectic look.
