What does the Bohemian cover look like?
It is built on a black base. Bright pink, orange and cream embroidered flowers and leaves fill the patches, with a plain black flange edge around them. The dark ground makes the colours glow, giving it a strong folk look that suits bold or eclectic rooms.
Does it have any sparkle or mirror work?
No. The surface work here is thread embroidery only, with a matte finish. If you prefer cushions without mirrors or sequins, for a more relaxed look, this cover keeps the texture quiet and lets the embroidered flowers carry the design.
What is Kambadiya patchwork?
Kambadiya is a hand patchwork craft in which pieces of embroidered and patterned cotton are cut and stitched together into one design. Here it is combined with Kantha running stitches and Banjara embroidery by the Keshav cooperative in Barmer, Rajasthan.
Are small irregularities normal?
Yes. Every cover is made by hand, so you may see slight differences in stitch length, patch alignment or the edges. These are natural results of human hands at work, not defects, and they are part of what sets a handmade cover apart from a machine-printed one.
What size is it?
The Bohemian cover measures 16 x 16 inches. It is a common size for sofa, armchair and diwan cushions, so it slots easily into most existing seating arrangements and pairs neatly with other covers of the same size.
How do I style a black-based cover?
Black works as an anchor. On a white, cream or grey sofa it creates a sharp contrast, while on mustard, teal or rust upholstery it looks rich and earthy. Pair it with a plain pink or orange cushion to pick up the flowers, and add a lighter patchwork cover to balance it.
