		Walls Paint the walls orange as a backdrop for the rich fabrics and accessories in the room.
		Flooring Sand the floor with an industrial sander and edger. Start using coarse sandpaper and move down to fine paper. Brush up the dust and wipe the floor with a damp cloth. Then stain the boards a deep oak stain to produce an antique look.
		Handmade striped rug Take a piece of carpet, turn it over so the underside is on top. Using silver duct tape mask off strips along the length of the carpet. Dye the strips using fabric paint and when dry remove the tape and seal the edge with webbing.
		Indian style wardrobe Cut out the door panels from an existing wardrobe and replace them with fretwork to create an Indian look. Paint it an off white colour.
		Colonial Style Shutters Make four frames from planed wood and fix fretwork panels onto them using panel adhesive. Join two frames together with brass hinges and repeat for the other shutter. Paint them the same colour as the wardrobe and fix to the wall.
		Remaining furniture Sand and then stain the existing furniture using a medium oak stain to complement the floor.
		Four-poster bed Stain four six foot posts and then fix them onto the existing bed frame at each corner. Take lengths of copper piping and fix them horizontally to the uprights. Hang full length orange silk in each corner to produce the effect of drapes.
		Accessories Dress the room with large green plants, candles and silk cushions to create an Indian feel.
		Mirror Take a large mirror and fix fretwork round the top edges to give a curved effect.
