I love metal trunks and vintage suitcases not only for their storage possibilities but also for the splash of colour they add to any room. In India, hand-painted metal trunks are sold on street corners. Designs range from floral to mythological. The colours are bold and primary, with hints of neon.
This is an unusual pattern for a trunk…
Personally, I’m rather partial to solid colours without any designs on them. Love this hue…
and these ice-creamy shades…
I have several of the colourful Indian trunks at home.These hold stationery, bills, random wires, even shoes. They’re great for keeping out the dust but I’m not a fan of the colours I have here. I’m going to paint over the trunks one day – a bright red or pale grey would look lovely, don’t you think?
Do you have trunks at home?
