What is the main motif on the Aavaran bedsheet?
Large sunburst flowers, linked by diamond shapes, repeat across the bed in an all-over jaal. The motifs are on the larger side, so the pattern reads boldly even from the doorway, while the soft colouring stops it from feeling heavy.
What sets this design apart?
It is the scale of the sunburst medallions, worked in a deeper blue against a pale blue-and-white ground. The contrast is clear without being sharp, so the flowers look crisp and fresh, giving the bed a bright, airy character.
Who made this bedsheet?
It is handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Babulal. Their appliqué work, with each shape cut and stitched by hand, is what you see across the bed, which means slight irregularities are a natural part of every piece.
How do I keep it clean?
Dry clean it if you can, as that is preferred. Otherwise, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, wash it on its own and dry it in the shade. Treat the hand-stitched appliqué gently whichever way you choose.
Is it made for a double bed?
Yes, it is designed to fit a standard double bed. The package contains one double bed cover, made of soft, breathable cotton that keeps you cool and stays comfortable for everyday sleeping in all climates.
How do I style the room around it?
Pair it with white or deep blue pillows and keep the rest of the room light, with white walls, pale wood or cane. A navy or indigo throw folded at the foot of the bed picks up the deeper blue of the sunbursts.
