The traditional textile items from Rajasthan include Bagru, Sanganeri print, Bandhani textiles, and mirrors in the fabrics. Such textiles could be incorporated into the interior decoration by using bedding materials, cushion covers, runner table covers, curtains, or even upholstered furniture. Apart from the colors and fabrics, you would be bringing some handmade uniqueness to your interior décor.

Statement lighting can entirely change a room's look. Lanterns, chandeliers, brass lighting fixtures, and colorful glass pendants that are inspired from the palaces of Rajasthan provide a luxurious look. Traditional lanterns can also be hung in balconies and corners of the rooms during evening time.

The traditional arts of Rajasthan can add an element of style to your home. Wall paintings depicting scenes like royal processions, dance forms, elephants, or camels can bring life to your blank walls. You could also try painted plates and miniature art forms, decorating with textiles.

The quickest way to make a place look like a part of Rajasthan is by adding handcrafted wooden furniture. You could have carved sofas, tables, and cabinets as well as even jharokha mirrors with a touch of old-world charm. The dark and elaborately carved wood gives an aura of the royal palace and automatically becomes the center of attraction. You could have low sofas with colorful cushions along with carved diwans.

Jharokhas are probably the most recognized aspects of Rajasthan's architectural style. You could even use wooden jharokhas to display mirrors on them. Larger antique mirrors with carved frame decorations can make you feel royal.
