Let your home tell a story with Handwoven products

Posted on by Adams

They say home is not a place, it’s a feeling. Every home is made of stories, and has a charm and personality of its own. And then there are those homes, that always carry a sense of distinct character. Because they are filled with hand-made and handwoven products. The homes that evoke uniqueness and a feel for aesthetics.

Handwoven products, such as furnishings and other fabrics, are made by hand using a handloom. They are not like typical machine-made, factory-made goods. Maybe that’s why they make a home look and feel more sophisticated. But that’s not all. Read on to know how handwoven products are different from, and better than machine-made products.

Sustainability

Pollution, global warming, climate change, environmental degradation. These are words you hear or read on a regular basis. But how many of us are actually being able to do something about them?

What if we told you that handwoven products have been promoting sustainable living for centuries? As these products are woven by hand, they don’t require electricity and don’t pollute the air. Plus, there is less waste generated and less Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission due to the lack of automation.

The weavers have plenty of opportunities to adopt sustainable practices, while you can practice sustainability in style.

Quality

Farm-grown cotton is collected, cotton fiber is spun into yarn, and then it is woven into cloth on a handloom. Post this, the cloth is treated with environmentally safe, natural dyes.

Weaving by Hand
Handwoven – the name itself suggests that the tap of the loom is controlled by a human and not a machine. So, each weave feels different. The loom creates a character. And the professional weavers give great attention to detail. All this make handwoven products boast of superior quality. And why not!

Comfort and Style

What is luxury without comfort? Handwoven products are definitely comfortable. Now, we know comfort is subjective. What is comfortable for you, may not be comfortable for me. And vice-versa. But people generally find handwoven products soft and comfortable.

Handwoven Floor Cushions

Handwoven products made of 100% cotton are much more breathable than polyester and other synthetic fabrics. And they are also super stylish! The kind of style where you can see and feel the difference. Handwoven fabrics immediately make any room look chic, and bring the traditional and modern world together.

Of the people, By the people, For the people

Producing fabric via handloom uses 9 times more labor than producing fabric via power loom. This means it gives jobs and income to more people and families. Hence, your buying of handwoven products can help so many families and will help to keep traditional livelihoods going, while giving them the value they truly deserve.

Now that you know better, consider shopping where you will find a carefully curated range of exquisite handwoven furnishings – at thoppia.com

4 ways to style your Home with Stitched Cloth

Posted on by Adams

A well arranged home surely has the few well arranged things- furniture, lighting and fabric. Fabric does not mean just the bed sheets and curtains. You can use a Stitched Cloth to soften a room, add romance, and give a room a finished feel. It can be used in any room style, and on any budget! Here are a few ideas to get you started.

1. Vivacious Vase Mats

A vase at home adds a touch of elegance to any space. Glass, metal, ceramic, gold, turquoise, vintage, rustic – they’re available in various types. And the best way to make a vase look more exquisite, alongside protecting it, is by placing a vase mat under it.

Sometimes though, you may not find the right vase mat. You know, the one that goes so well with your vase and brightens up to your mood. Rather than looking everywhere to find one like that, you can pick a stitched cloth you like, and have it customized into a 100% Cotton vase mat that complements your vase. Easy!

2. Whimsical Wall Décor

Gone are the days when wall décor was supposed to be expensive or high-end. Today, people go for reasonable yet clever ways of decorating their walls and making a mark. The easiest way to do this is by using fabric. When it comes to home design, fabric is one of the most versatile materials.

You could pick a smaller cloth, have it embroidered or styled like you want it, and hang or pin it on your wall as you’d like it. Or you could take a bigger fabric, and turn it into a massive, impactful piece of art on your wall. Or put the fabric into a frame and place it on the wall. If it’s a beautiful fabric, this would give it a worthy display. Just get your creative juices flowing, and play!

Stitched Cloth for Wall Decoration

3. Classy Cabinet and Shelf Covers

Cloth for shelf cabinet
A lot of Indian households use paper — typically the old newspapers they didn’t throw away — to cover their cabinets and shelves. Only once this covering is done, do they place things and belongings on those shelves/cabinets. This could be to protect the shelves, and minimise dust. But paper can tear easily. It’s of no use once it gets wet or stained. It shows oil marks. So is there a better alternative? Definitely… Use cloth!

Customised Stitched Cloths that are 100% Cotton can absorb water. They won’t tear unless you want them to! They’re durable. And if by chance they get stained, you can wash and use them again. They’ll break the monotony of your cupboard, and can make it look prettier. Fair enough?

4. Tantalizing Table Cloths and Runners

May be you brought home a brand new table. You’re excited. But all your excitement washes away when you don’t find the rightly fitting cloth for the table. You sigh. And then you find out that you can now choose a stitched cloth that catches your eye, and get it customized as per the dimensions of your table – at the comfort of your home.

Stitched Cloth as Table Cloth

That’s right. This is yet another way to make good use of a stitched cloth, as it has its borders stitched to perfection. And same goes for table runners. They soften the hard furniture in the room. And what’s on the table should delight you – that doesn’t just stop with food!

Style is a deeply personal expression of who you are. And your personal style can be very well reflected in your home, by the fabrics that you dress your home with. They can be used in so many ways to add color, pattern, and texture to a room. Make some conscious decisions, pick what you like, customise the pieces as you want them to be, and watch what a stitched cloth can do for your space!
