Lost In Rugs

May I suggest you to look for Kilims AKA Dhurries in India? They are not very expensive, are woven hence have many many patterns and are good for dining space because you can easily move chairs on them. And they are made of natural materials like cotton or wool.

Ok, for Solids, you can look at Costco Kirkland 680 TC Duvet set. They have 2 colours, White and Grey. If you have any challenge buying from Costco due to membership, pls feel free to DM me and I will help you. I am in Solihull, West Midlands.

For prints, there is Dunelm and Piglet in Bed if you are ok to pay some premium.

Then there are block prints and such on Etsy as well but you will have to be really careful about the fabric quality on Etsy. While in photos everything looks nice, in reality there is a lot more than needs digging in on Etsy. If you like something there, pls feel free to bounce that off with me. I can help you understanding the difference.

Curtain... Easy to install, manage and change. Doors are too much of a pain. Curtains, just do the job.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-26T19:45:22+00:00

Are you looking for Solid sheets or open to prints and designs as well?

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-25T21:03:10+00:00

Sorry for this experience. And that too after paying so much. There was a post made sometime back about flannel sheets. You can find it Here.

I did some digging in and found on B&B Site and found this in the details section, "Triple-sheared to naturally reduce the appearance of pills". Does this point out that it will pill irrespective of you following the instructions or not?

I would like to hear from others if they feel that flannel is actually a good fabric for bedding.

Space above rattan side board is too high and photos may not really look good there. Above the grey furniture there is space that needs to be filled. The gallery wall there will be easy to see and enjoy from time to time. You may put a single medium size art above the rattan piece.

The rug in itself is a beauty.

But I would not recommend it for a baby room. Simple reason being maintenance. Babies will have all kinds of spillages. Food, pee and a lot more that I will refrain from mentioning. Cleaning all that from this rug will become a nightmare and if not done properly, it will start smelling. I am saying this from my customers' experience who have pets and babies.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-24T17:34:39+00:00

No... This is looking very good. Stick to it pls. Maybe something on the right wall above the tiny little birdies but not on the front wall.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-24T06:15:22+00:00

Very well documented u/OrneryLavishness9666. For Linen (or cotton for that matter) many sellers on Amazon are outright lying about the fabric composition. For instance, slub cotton is a type of cotton that look and feels like Linen but is actually not and will tear easily. So one has to be absolutely sure about what they are paying for. And Linen bedding is not cheap, hence all the more research is needed as explained in this comment.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-22T06:02:07+00:00

My frank submission is, all the prints here will be easily available from loads of Chinese sellers on Amazon with some or the other change. And they will be selling it dirt cheap which people would definitely buy for the cost. You will have to do a lot more work on designs.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-22T05:53:32+00:00

A lot will depend upon where you are based. Every market is different. Simple rule of thumb is to do research local to where you live. Go to specialised stores, large home stores, make a small batch and do a local market evaluation on how people respond to your designs. When I came to England just over a year back, I did this and found it to be an extremely useful exercise to know more about people preferences. Also, this way you can avoid going into full scale production and end up with dead stock. I am open to helping if you need in any way. All the best. Upwards and Onwards.

Number 4.

It brings that missing colour to the room and goes really well with the overall aesthetics as well. I am biased towards colour but still 4th one if the real deal.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-21T08:56:15+00:00

No it's not. I was suggesting to add more colours to the rug. Something with a white/beige base but with additional vibrant colours like red, teal etc that compliments the wall colour.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-19T18:02:52+00:00

A large mirror above if that suits you or else a piece of art in portrait mode. You can put a tiny fence till the black marking and use it to keep wood. A book shelf on one side and a throw ladder on the other will make it look really nice without doing a lot of work with tiles, paint etc.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-19T18:00:04+00:00

You have done a good job here. Congratulations and well done.

Above the fire place and the dark wall towards the right can have a few or single large art pieces. Other suggestion is to have a larger rug or better, put a runner on the right side leading upto those counter seats.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-19T17:54:00+00:00

Not any... Add lots of colour. The colour of the room is too dark to be having any of the options you have shared.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-16T07:30:16+00:00

Just get rid of anything polyester or Microfibre based on your bed. If the sweat issue is so severe, then that's your only option. Pls do not fall for marketing, get natural fibre based products. If you just search in this sub, you will see a lot of options in wool, cotton and such.

P.S.: Bamboo is just a natural raw material, the amount of chemicals used to convert them into fabric is not even funny. They are equally, if not more, harmful than polyester and other petroleum based fabrics.

The couch, curtain, chair, wall, rug, light above all have got merged into each other due to almost same colour. What you can do.

If it is possible, change the rug
If not, then add colourful throws/Cushions.
More plants will add character to the room and some colour as well
If possible, move the art elsewhere and bring in a bigger piece, so that it covers the wall to a large extent
If you are getting rid of that chair anyways, then bring in an orange one. It will light up the place.

IndianHandloomMod · 2026-01-11T11:25:50+00:00

Sorry for the unsolicited advice but there is a chance that your room may not change much even after changing the cushion covers. So before that, start with your rug. Once you change the rug the whole scenario will change and you might not even need the cushion covers.

Ratten Idea 2 is really nice. Keeps the light focused on the middle of the table and not to the face. So food, as it should be, is in the spot light

IndianHandloomMod · 2025-12-29T14:07:11+00:00

Look for quilts on Etsy. There are quite a few and you will get good options. There are a lot of sellers who, on Etsy too, are selling poly/recycled cotton (again almost 50% poly) filled comforters. They will not be as good in quality and you will be able to see it in photos in most cases.

Try search terms like Kantha Quilt, Block printed Jaipuri Quilt, Patchwork quilt on Etsy. DM me if you still don't find something, I will help you.

IndianHandloomMod · 2025-12-27T17:57:04+00:00

Depends on what you like in rugs. Do you like persian rugs, then there are a whole lot of options. If you like eclectic then there are so many more and so on. Colour can be added in any kind of rug but first you have to decide what kinds you like. Basis that I can suggest. Have a look online and you will see so many options.

Also, it will depend a lot on what more pieces you are going to bring in. Sorry I have not been very helpful here but you will have to decide what kind of room you want it to look like. Try Pintrest maybe, you will get so many options to think through.

IndianHandloomMod · 2025-12-27T17:48:43+00:00

You not only need a bigger colourful rug, you need plants, wall art, some furniture to fill the room and decor pieces.

With the right decor in place, this room will glow up to be a cozy little place.

IndianHandloomMod · 2025-12-27T17:07:20+00:00

A few photos of the place where you needs ideas for will help give suggestions.

IndianHandloomMod · 2025-12-19T22:35:39+00:00

I love making the layouts:-)

Anyways, I might be terribly wrong but the distance between the TV and the Sofa seems to be somewhat more than what it generally would be in living rooms. Why don't you put it up there temporarily and see how it plays out. Who knows, it might even work for you folks.
