Aavaran Applique Double Bedsheet Light Blue

How does the appliqué read on the Aavaran bed cover?

The appliqué is worked in a deeper teal over a soft aqua base, so the star and flower lattice stands out clearly without looking harsh. The layering adds texture across the whole bed, and up close you can see each shape stitched in place by hand.

Will it suit a cool-toned room?

Yes. The aqua and teal give it a fresh, cool feel that sits well with white, grey or pale wood furniture and with blue or green accents. In a sunny room it brings a calm, light mood to the bed.

Who handcrafts it?

A women's self-help group in Barmer makes it, led by master artisan Babulal. The women cut each motif from fabric and stitch it onto the cotton by hand, so the bed cover you buy carries their handwork from edge to edge.

Will the patches match the photos exactly?

Not always. The overall colour stays similar, but the patches may differ, as finding the very same patches each time is extremely difficult. The pictures were taken by the artisans themselves, and each bed cover is unique in its small details.

How do I look after it?

Dry clean it when possible, as that is the preferred method. At home, a gentle hand wash with mild detergent works well; wash it separately from other clothes and dry it in the shade, out of direct sun.

How can I style the bed around it?

Let the bed cover lead and keep the rest simple: plain white or teal pillows, a light throw at the foot of the bed, and cane or light wood nearby. The tone-on-tone lattice already adds pattern, so solid accents keep the room balanced.
