Handloom in interiors: 5 stylish shifts to Indian fabrics

From kalamkari prints, khadi bed sheets to cushion covers made of banarsi and raw silk, Indian decor statements have shifted to the unique handicrafts of the country. While some brands made it a popular genre a few years ago, Indian fabrics have gained the centrestage. With intricate production methods, a variety of handlooms like ikkat, bagu, kalamkari, ajrakh etc. have gone international too. Here are some ways you can spruce up your home with these Indian fabrics and go #VocalforLocal.

2/6

Khadi

It is one of the most popular fabrics used for home decor. From big brands to local vendors, everyone has their bet on this Indian wonder. Since the fabric is skin-friendly and reciprocates with weather which means it stays cool in summers and warm in winters, it works best for bed sheets and curtains. The weight and texture of the fabric makes it look voguish.
3/6

Bandhani

We all know about this colourful fabric from Gujarat. The modern modifications of the fabric makes it look urban and chic. Apart from being a favourite among the wedding decorators, the fabric looks great as a table top cover, bedcovers and AC comforters.
4/6

Kalamkari

The hand-painted cotton textile is produced mostly in Andhra Pradesh. The ‘’Indianness’’ of the handicraft makes it look exclusive and warm. The fabric looks great on cushion covers and bed sheets. There are few brands in the market that also make attractive lamp shades with this extraordinary fabric.
5/6

Brocade

Made popular by our love for bling during the festive season, brocade belongs to the state of Uttar Pradesh.the fabric is a forever hit for wedding closets but also makes a great choice for brightening up your interiors. From cushion covers to table runners and bed covers, brocade looks extremely rich and festive.
6/6

Kullu Shawls

This exclusive weave from Himachal can be a great use as ‘throws’. The trend of throws has increased in the past few months and especially during the winter season. What will make a better throw than a kullu shawl, so you can invest in one for the winters this time.
