In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Meera Pyarelal, founder and creative director at Temple Town, shared, “Colonial-inspired elements bring a sense of grandeur while remaining rooted in tradition—think teakwood furniture, intricate carvings, and vintage-inspired accents that add timeless charm. Wooden details, whether in the form of handcrafted beds or statement cabinets, echo the craftsmanship of the past while seamlessly fitting into contemporary homes.”

She said, “Cane and rattan introduce an effortless lightness, seen in woven headboards, sculptural chairs and artisanal pendant lights, fostering a connection to nature. Reclaimed wood, rich with history, adds depth and character, making each piece feel unique. Open layouts, sheer drapery and natural textures create a harmonious flow, enhancing light and airiness.”
