How to Style Your Living Room with Handloom Textiles
Bring timeless elegance, sustainability, and soul into your space with handcrafted fabrics
Handloom textiles are more than just beautiful fabrics — they’re pieces of living heritage. Made by skilled artisans using traditional weaving methods, these fabrics carry the warmth of the hands that crafted them and the stories of the communities they come from.
In this blog, we’ll explore how to style your living room with handloom textiles, whether you’re working with a minimalist space, a bold boho aesthetic, or something uniquely you.
1. Start with a Statement Sofa Cover
A handloom cotton sofa cover is one of the easiest ways to bring instant texture and warmth into your living room. Opt for solid earthy tones like peach, olive green, or off-white if you love subtle elegance. For a bolder look, try multicolour geometric patterns or boho fringe finishes.

2. Layer with Cushions in Handloom & Slub Cotton
Mix textures by adding cushions made from slub cotton or handloom fabric. Go for covers that feature thread work, tassels, or floral embroidery to introduce subtle artistry. Pair plain and patterned covers to keep things balanced.
Tip: Use colors from the same palette for a cohesive look — like black and white, mustard yellow, deep indigo, or rust orange.
3. Add Handloom Rugs & Dhurries Underfoot
Your floor deserves beauty too. A handwoven cotton dhurrie or wool-blend rug with geometric or ethnic motifs can ground your living room and define space — especially in open-plan homes. Look for rugs with fringes or tassels to continue the handcrafted theme.

4. Use Wall Hangings or Kantha Art Frames
Walls are often underused. Style them with handwoven wall hangings or patchwork Kantha wall frames. These instantly add personality and bring a tactile element to your decor.

5. Focus on Earthy Lighting & Natural Decor
Handloom styling pairs beautifully with jute pendant lights, terracotta lamps, and natural wood furniture. Use soft lighting to highlight the weaves, threads, and textures in your textiles.
Add planters with macrame hangers or hand-painted terracotta planters to bring in some green.
Styling Tips to Keep in Mind
- Mix don’t match: Pair different textures (cotton, jute, wool) to keep things visually interesting.
- Balance bolds with neutrals: Let one statement piece shine, and complement it with softer tones.
- Rotate seasonally: Use heavier handloom throws in winter and light cotton covers in summer.
- Keep it intentional: Let each piece have meaning — that’s what gives handmade decor its soul.
Why Handloom?
- Supports artisan communities across India
- Uses less energy and fewer chemicals than machine-made fabric
- Builds a home that reflects consciousness and care
- Offers uniqueness—no two pieces are ever exactly alike
