India has a galore of art, design and architecture styles. And every new home space is a canvas of creativity.
Inspired from Indian style of interiors, specifically, the Dakshin way of doing up homes, is Signa Design.
The words that define Dakshin or South Indian style of interiors are sun, tropics, bright colours, flowers and monsoons.

The entry to this villa is flanked by a rust console with small brass bells with reconditioned bullheads, kerosene lamp and brass flower bowl.
The dining room features a custom lacquered tabletop, which is adapted from the ‘Rangoli’ that adorns many South Indian homes. The artwork is brocade, which is traditionally used as a festive dressing.
Handloom textiles and low seating are the hallmarks of many South Indian homes. Hence, the family room features a custom low seating sofas in organic cotton prints with ombre curtains with an art piece that’s made of traditional beadwork technique.
