India is home to a large number of handicrafts that not only have a rich history, but are also capable of catering to future trends. This is seen in fashion where many of the traditional techniques are used to create modernist pieces. The same effect has been noticed in the world of home design, and one of the pioneers to bring the heritage and tradition of Indian handicrafts to the fore has been Asian Paints.
Their Asian Paints Royale Play Taana Baana collection of wall textures is inspired by the past and beautifully caters to the modern home aesthetic. This World Interiors Day, we delve into how the range perfectly chimes with this year’s theme, which is: “Pride of the Past, An Incentive for the Future“.
