Kalamkari Throws

These Kalamkari hand painted cushion covers by artisans from Srikalahasti in Andra Pradesh not only look beautiful but also seem to feel comfy. Srikalahasti is a well know town for its ancient  temples and this traditional form of textile painting which originated here. These are available at Aalamwaar.

Art for your Couch!

It seems I just can't stop blogging about them.....yes that's right cushions again! Saw these ones....and kept seeing them with popped eyes! :-) This is what they call eye candy I think! These lovely embroidered cushions done by Indian artisans designed by Lovisa Shergill & Mitali Seth of 'Allem Studio'. The design studio is based out of  Marietta, Georgia(Anupu...yes... your neighborhood!;-)).
As they mention, the designs are unique, colourfull, vibrant and happy! Indeed a very good blend of old & new! They also have table linens.Check out their online store here. and their facebook page here. And yes do have a look at their blog.

My favorites are the round ones with camel, horse and ox.

Adding colors to home furnishings

Black Pepper design's new cushion designs do have a global appeal and sure to add glamor to any home! Their Masai collection have Masai portraits adorned with beads of cheerful colours. Though aesthetically they grade very high, I doubt the comfort factor. The " Indian Heritage " collection are equally beautiful! I guess just adding one or two cushions to   accentuate, leaving alone the comfort is ok.  

They can be found here.

Art Cushions...

Taking the fondness for cushions further......look what I have found! Hand painted cushion covers with ethnic Indian themes 'Royal'& 'Tribal'. The materials used are cotton silk & Khadi. Check them out at Abhilasha's blog .... Mish Mash Designs. 

Bored of your seating space but do not want to spend again to have a new one?... When you can't change the whole sofa/seating, change the cushion covers! As simple as that. There are so many wonderful throw pillows/ cushions & covers available in a wide variety of designs, colours, fabrics patterns etc... you can have a new look as many times you please....Having a neutral upholstery helps. Though the look of coloured seats can also be enhanced by choosing the right combination of cushions. Whatever the the seating type or colour may be these cushions can pop the looks instantly! 

Here are some Indian ones....
