About the Book

'Indian Style' unfurls a huge variety of hidden treasure - of ornament, furniture, decor and architecture - where bold colour palettes and traditional motifs blend with Victorian and modern elements. This is the India of fabled maharajas’ palaces. But the full range of dwellings and landscapes revealed is astonishing; homes with spectacular mountain views; town houses and havelis that combine Italianate and Indo-Saracenic influences; the temple-like rooms of a Brahmin family; a houseboat on a Kashmir lake; a Goan house that dates from the days of the China Trade; and the opulent palaces, many now luxury hotels.
