Solid Indian
![]() |
Indian interior design is fast becoming one of the most popular international themes in British homes. The highly decorative and opulent nature of Indian style means it offers the very unique opportunity to add both glamor and timeless tradition to a room. A very definite and clearly defined style, it is also a very straight forward and easy style to adopt.
Above all else, the mainstay in Indian decor is imagery of the Sun, which has been worshiped by Hindus for many years. Doors, window dressings, ceilings, and fabric patterns all contain many elements that symbolize the sun. Circles that symbolize the heavenly body itself are prevalent, as are radiating lines that stand for its rays and areas of great colour which symbolize the sun's light.
Incorporate this important element through soft furnishings and fabrics, or if your room is large enough, design a simple abstract mural for your wall for a modern twist. Use light and airy shades of lemon and off white- which will prevent the mural form overpowering the space. A more traditional way to include such imagery is through the other constant in Indian interiors, the beautifully carved wooden decoration. Carved columns and plate traceries are common, as are figurines of respected animals such as cows, horses and antelopes.
Lacquered furniture is hugely popular in India due to its richness of resins of all types. Furniture is typically low in stature and made of Indian Oak, nut wood or pink wood and has a real solid functionality about it. Unusually, Indian furniture frequently has a double use. A former saddle or cart might be used as a coffee table or an elegantly carved door may be used as a table top in the dining room, such is the whimsical nature of Indian style. Not only does this give a real opportunity to add great character to a room when recreating the look, it could also save a lot of money as you may already own old items that could be reused. If not a trip to an old junk yard or salvage shop is sure to inspire some creative thought. A common feature of Indian design that we have already adopted is the nest of tables. Available in most furniture shops, a nest of three wooden tables which fit together like a Russian doll, would add a really typical feature to a room. Other items of furniture to look out for are delicately carved and encrusted cabinets used to store bed linen called "damchis" and maharajas style wardrobes made of Indian oak with fortress gate style doors. Finally, soften the look with slik curtains and window dressings.
India is famous for its silk saris which are used regularly to not only create beautiful clothing but also to add sumptuousness and decadence to homes. Colors to look out for are turquoise, burnt orange and raspberry. For added spice, use beaded tie-backs and tassels to draw back your curtains into an effortlessly elegant arch that will really show of the sheen of the silk to its full potential.

Quick-fix Indian (Paperback) $23.76 For too long, Indian cuisine has been perceived as complex and time consuming to prepare. Quick-Fix Indian aims at making Indian cooking accessible to everybody—the beginner, the experienced cook, absolutely anyone wanting to try his or her hand at a new cuisine. The 125 dishes in Quick-Fix Indian are modern and fresh, yet rooted in tradition. These recipes are identifiable as Indian, but that’s where the familiarity ends—most of these recipes haven’t been seen before, anywhere. While the dishes are simple to make, they are by no means simplistic. They are bright, modern, and complex tasting, belying the fact that they only took 30 minutes or less to prepare. The recipes range from quick breakfasts and soups, to curries, snacks, and sweet drinks. Some of the recipes included are: Red Potato and Chickpea Salad with Pomegranate Seeds, Green Masala Lamb Curry, Beet Raita with Cilantro and Lemon, Sweet Rice with Saffron and Sultanas, Scrambled Eggs with Coconut and Curry Leaves, Pan Fried Eggplant with Ginger, Coriander Shrimp with Green Zucchini and Red Chiles, and kid favorite Banana Fritters.While most of the recipes use easy-to-acquire ingredients, there are a few that will require a trip to a health-food or Indian store. As an added bonus, the book also lists ‘exotic’ substitutions for readers who’d like to try them. For example, mustard oil adds a special zing to the Sprouted Mung Bean Salad, but canola oil works just fine.And finally, this cookbook is fun. Written in a lighthearted manner, Quick-Fix Indian amuses readers while also providing solid information. |

The Samisch King's Indian Uncovered $22.31 The Samisch King's Indian continues to be one of the fiercely contested openings in chess. White's play is based around an extremely solid centre, and there's the very real possibility of launching a direct attack against the black king; a welcome change because often it is Black who goes gunning for checkmate in the King's Indian. But the Samisch is flexible too; if White wishes he can instead try to strangle Black with his obvious space advantage. It's these features that have made the Samisch such a popular weapon for White both at club level and with the world's elite. World Champions Botvinnik, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov and Kramnik have all utilized the Samisch at one time or another, a testimony to the strong reputation of this opening. In this book, opening expert John-Paul Wallace presents an up-to-date study of the Samisch and its many offshoots. Using illustrative games, he looks at the traditional main lines, the trendy alternatives and the tricky sidelines, while outlining the typical tactical and positional ideas for both White and Black. A study of this book will allow the reader to begin playing either side of the Samisch with confidence in his or her own games. *Essential coverage of an aggressive opening *Written by a Samisch expert *Ideal for club and tournament players |
