DEEP INDIGO

Whether it is your living room or bedroom, deep indigo comes with a feel-good factor. When applied to home furnishings, it is subtle and absorbs well in any decor palette. You can add modern day accessories in deep indigo — lamp shades, table mats, cushions and throws — to create a relaxing and refreshing setting. According to Arya Nerker, Head of Design – Home, Nicobar, “Looking towards Japan for inspiration, this season, deep indigos and soft blues when applied to furnishings or cushions will surely make a statement. Material wise, it is the use of perennial fabrics like raw silk and cotton with their slight textural play that will delight the eye and are good to feel.”
