Indian textile industry is often talked about as it’s
being regarded as one of the oldest, most distinguished and most fantastic
maker of all textiles in the world. The country has long been the exporter or the
finest materials ( from pure silk to printed fabrics) to the whole Western
hemisphere and today, in the world of e-commerce, there is just no better
chance for you to get something overly unique and beautiful from the other side
of the world in just a matter of days.
In this article I would like to say a few words about
all the traditional styles of Indian Decorative Cushions and introduce you to all the styles available on the market today.
Decorative pillows have long been part of the eloquent
interior design. These are specific pillows that are mainly there for
decorative reasons (to match, harmonize or enhance the beauty of a sofa for
example or to make a room brightened up and less conventional looking) but that
doesn’t mean they are not being used. Only their use is much lighter than that
of a normal pillow, normally limited to holding backs.
Decoration style: there are dozens of different Decorative
Cushions motifs used in Indian cushions and this time around I’d like to
introduce you to some of the most frequent ones we can get to see.
Silk with golden print: these are the finest and most expensive types of
cushions, made out of pure silk, so this means they are absolutely not for use,
not even for holding backs. Generally presenting in dark red or burgundy
colors, silk is often paired up with gold printing or gold embroidery. These
need very specific cleaning so is ready to take a high care of them.
Patchwork: this is some of the cheapest and most easily
available type of cushion, being done by the sewing together of squares of
different materials, creating a fresh, young outlook and generally made out of
lower maintenance fabrics so it can be washed more easily.
Embroidered: If you take a look at these lovely embroidered Indian
cushion motifs, you will instantly get where the inspiration of the famous
Spanish fashion brand Desigual stems from. The beautiful mandala style and
other floral motifs give a lovely ethnic touch to the pillow and can brighten
up any room with their sheer appearance. Embroidery is often paired up with
mirror-work (small mirrors included in the embroidery) which adds an extra
shine to the whole artwork.
Types of patterns: India,
same as the Islamic countries has a tradition not to include human or animal
figures in their decorations. The general motifs include the following:
- Mandala
- Paisley and
floral
- Geometric
I
hope I could motivate you enough for you to want to check out some of the most
