Guidance for Using Kantha Throws To Redo Your Home

Kantha throws are setting a major trend in homes and even offices. These colorful throws are art pieces in their own right. Made entirely by hand, Kantha throws combine fun printed fabrics with kantha stitches. This intricate and delicate traditional stitch adds to the elegant and sophisticated look of the entire throw. Genuine articles are made by hand in a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Having your own Kantha throw offers many decorative and even practical uses.

Originally from the Eastern Indian states and Bangladesh, the traditional Kantha throw is usually made from cloth scraps and old saris. It is ideal for use on cushions and blankets. One of the best thing about the Kantha throw is it that each side features a different design—it’s like having 2 throws for the price of one! Here are some ways to use your Kantha throw at home:

•    Drape the Kantha throw on your sofas and couches. This is especially ideal if your furniture pieces are neutral and you want a statement piece in your living room. Aside from adding a much needed pop of color, Kantha throws also serve as a light cover to protect your sofas. They can be used as an alternative to upholstering your couch. What’s more, if it gets a bit chilly in the living room, you can warm yourself up with a Kantha throw.
•    Spread a Kantha throw on your dining table. Instead of a boring checkered tablecloth, use a Kantha throw instead. It can also serve as a table runner if you simply fold the throw vertically three times.
•    Use Kantha throws as pillow covers. Tie up your pillows with colorful Kantha throws to serve as an accent piece.

The main guide to using Kantha throw is to simply mix it up. Don’t be afraid of incorporating colors and patterns into your home.

If you are looking to complete the bohemian aesthetic in your home, you might also want to try the following tips:

•    Complement your bohemian pillows with unconventional furniture – For example, instead of buying a wooden side table, why not use a crate?
•    Avoid symmetry – It can be tempting for everything in your house to match but the key to bohemian style is unevenness. Place bohemian pillows at random places in your room and try not to put every piece of furniture into a corner or sticking to the wall.
•    Add plants – Put some earth into you home and decorate it with potted plants or hanging ones.
