How to Make the Best Use of Your Kantha Throws

A Kantha throw is a versatile piece of item ideal for your home or office. Think of it as a scarf for your room—it can finish off a space and give it a much needed color. What makes a Kantha throw so special is the traditional methods that are implied to make it. Kantha refers to the popular embroidery technique used by Indian rural women. It comes in a number of designs, and you can bet they are wonderful and colorful. Here are some uses for Kantha throws:

•    Statement piece – If you have a neutral colored space of grays, browns, blacks, and whites, liven it up with a Kantha throw! You can hang it on the wall, put it on the floor, or cover up a piece of furniture with this colorful fabric.

•    Comfort – Place a Kantha throw on your couch to make your seating area extra cozy. Use it as a blanket when you feel a little cold.

•    Protect cushions – If you have light colored seats, you can protect the cover by putting a Kantha throw over it. This is also a good idea if you have pets around the house and want to keep their fur at bay.

•    Update your headboard – A simple Kantha throw can make your bed’s headboard look like new. Drape it over the entire headboard.

•    Update your throw pillows – If all of the covers for your pillows are in the wash, you can always use a Kantha throw.

Most Kantha throws are made of 100% cotton or vintage saris. Make sure to order from a reputable online seller to get authentic Indian throws. The best shops source their Kantha throws from local villages in India. This way, you get a fabulous throw and also help the economy of Indian villages.
