2 | Creating Design Boards
The design boards brought clarity and depth to the collection's artistic vision:
-
The Mood Board emphasized luxurious textures, vibrant jewel tones, and intricate patterns typical of Mughal and Persian art. Floral and creeper motifs—hallmarks of Indian architecture and miniature paintings—were central elements, inspired by their symbolic and ornamental significance in monuments like the Taj Mahal and Persian garden designs.
-
The Concept Board focused on the seamless fusion of these historical aesthetics with modern functionality, ensuring the designs resonate with today’s homeowners.
-
The Inspiration Board explored detailed patterns of arches, domes, and jali (latticed screens), along with stylized depictions of flowers such as lotuses, tulips, and roses, often intertwined with creeping vines. These motifs, frequently seen in Indian miniatures and Mughal frescoes, informed the delicate yet bold visual language of the prints.
