Home Sweet Home

So you’re decorating your new digs and you want to stay true to your roots, but in a more….eclectic moden way. What’s a desi to do??

You could mosey on over to ABC Home and Carpet. Think sumptuous Victorian settees upholstered in gold colored saris, intricately carved wooden armoires, rose colored lanterns, and hand woven rugs.

A modern day Indian fairytale set in the heart of Manhattan, ABC’s flagship store is sight to behold. From their rotating installations (including a Valentine’s day tribute to Krishna and his Gopis) to their month long ode to the subcontinent earlier this year, ABC’s love affair with India is certainly remarkable. The store features several collections, including India Bed, Sacred Body Sacred Home (featuring our favorite deities), and Indo-Colonial among others.

So pull out those old saris, light a little incense and let ABC inspire you to create your own little desi installation right in your own home.
