5 Ways to Style Kantha Bedcovers in Modern Homes
Share
Kantha bedcovers are more than just bedding—they are vibrant pieces of art, woven with rich tradition and stories passed down through generations of Indian artisans. At Varsaca, our handcrafted Kantha bedcovers bring a splash of color, texture, and heritage into your home.
But how do you style these timeless treasures in a modern living space without overwhelming your decor? Here are five stylish ways to incorporate Kantha bedcovers seamlessly into contemporary homes.
1. Let the Kantha Bedcover Be the Focal Point
Kantha quilts typically feature bold patterns and bright colors. Use this to your advantage by:
- Keeping the rest of your room minimal with neutral walls and simple furniture.
- Allowing the Kantha bedcover to take center stage on your bed.
- Pairing with solid-color cushions or pillows to balance the look.
This approach highlights the artisanal craftsmanship and adds a vibrant splash of personality to your bedroom.
2. Layer with Soft, Neutral Textiles
To create a cozy yet modern aesthetic:
- Layer your Kantha bedcover over soft, neutral-toned sheets or a duvet.
- Add throw blankets or cushions in earthy shades like beige, cream, or grey.
- Mix textures — think cotton sheets with a handwoven Kantha throw.
This layering technique balances tradition with contemporary softness for an inviting feel.
3. Use Kantha as a Sofa or Chair Throw
Kantha bedcovers aren’t just for beds! They make stunning sofa or accent chair throws.
- Drape a Kantha over a plain sofa to instantly brighten your living room.
- Fold a Kantha on an armchair to add color and warmth.
- Pair with cushions in complementary colors or patterns.
This adds an unexpected, artistic flair to your living space and celebrates the versatility of handcrafted textiles.
4. Coordinate with Minimalist Wall Decor
Pair your Kantha bedcover with simple, minimalist wall art or decor:
- Choose sleek frames or natural wooden accents.
- Avoid busy patterns on walls to keep focus on the quilt.
- Consider handmade wall hangings or macrame that complement the artisanal vibe.
This contrast enhances the bedcover’s detailed stitching without competing for attention.
5. Incorporate Natural Elements for an Organic Feel
Bring nature indoors to complement your Kantha’s earthy, handcrafted charm:
- Use potted plants or terracotta pots nearby.
- Choose wooden furniture with natural finishes.
- Add woven baskets or jute rugs to enhance texture.
Natural elements create a calming environment that beautifully complements the warmth of Kantha textiles.
