Jade Jagger's India Style!


Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger is an English jewelry designer, socialite and former model.Jagger was born in Paris, France. She is the only child of Bianca a Nicaraguan model, actress and philanthropist, and Mick Jagger, an English musician and actor.

A Bohemian, eclectic-chic, stylish, relax and creative exotic home exposing wonderful local design details of magnificent India. It is a land where the inside and outside of the residence blend in harmony. It is a home for a rich inspirational living style..

The creative owner Jade Jagger behind this interesting and exotic land of property in Goa explains the local sense of design with her below words;
“Everyone in India, whatever their financial situation, cherishes and owns items that are beautiful and unique. Whether it’s a fabulous shawl, a hanging on the wall or jewellery, you can see that everybody invests as much effort as they can to decorate themselves and their homes with great design. In India, if you’re looking for some metal furniture, for example, you’re more likely to go to the ironmonger and create your own chair than go to a shop. This is a country in touch with artisan production.”
 I don’ t think there is anybody who wouldnt love this simple and loving bedroom. Very much wabi-sabi style… Red and grey striped bedcover creates impact in the room, the rest of the neutral elements calm the eye..Warm yellow, red and pink colors, rich blues, geometric patterns on layered textiles, tropical natural wooden textures, grass rooftops, naked concrete floors, grass carpets, authentic metallic objects in this simply beautiful home and the green lush view on the background which all combine to give a feeling of tranquility.

"India Style" by Monisha Bharadwaj


"India Style"-"The hidden beauty of India's Home Decor"is one of the first of these kind of coffee table books I bought and still love it to the chore each day.Any day you read you its "like a light breeze on your face".The photographs in this book flash in my mind ,whenever i think of India ,its decor and the amazing style of India.No other country has such a beautiful lady like innate style. 

This book Beautifully written and compiled with great difficulty By Monisha Bharadwaj ,Absolutely brilliant Photographs by The Master Bharath Ramamrutham. How much I adore these stalwarts in teaching me the basics of Indian Style,its just difficult for words to explain.Might be could meet each of them once:)-a lifetime.

Monisha Bharadwaj is the wife of the actor Nitish Bharadwaj is an award-winning author and food writer.She has written books ranging from Cookery to Indian design. She has published 13 books. Monisha contributes to several magazines including Elle, Delicious and Food and Travel. She appears regularly on UK TV.She runs her own cookery school Cooking with Monisha. This is one among the books written by her ,the other book being"Inside India".

Bharat Ramamrutham..words actually fall short to describe this great photographer,writer,publisher,Visual communication consultant,architect,designer...all in one..He has authored books and have been the master photographer in so many books..i adore his books and as a photographer he has influenced me a lot to learn and photograph.


India Style as Written by the book itelf is "a celebration of the richness of Indian Culture and decor.These images have been photographed  in homes throughout India.This illustrates the beauty of India from within each one homes.These images are sure to inspire any professional interior decorator and amateur.This book reveals the India style,the very practical and inspirational style of design artefacts and the key factor is they are all acheivable within your home".

This is I think one of the first book to examine the Indian style in depth.This serves as a vibrant guide,which helps you decorate from the living room corners to the outdoor spaces.It explains the origin of these ornamentations that epitomizes India an its style and includes treatment of doors,walls,floors,textiles,windows,terraces etc.

it also illustrates how brilliant colour schemes symbolize religious traditions,and often correlates to the basic elements of air,water,fire and earth.
