Khamma Ghani Contemporary Cotton Kantha Cushion Covers

What gives the Contemporary cover its look?

It is a sunny piece. A bright yellow ground carries orange and pink patchwork squares with folk florals, geometrics and mirror dots, picked out in blue, green and red. A yellow rim finishes the edge, hung with long multicolour tassels.

Do the long tassels get in the way?

They are long and full, which is part of the charm, but they do swing and can tangle. On a busy sofa you may prefer to place it at the back or on a chair. On the floor or a daybed they lie freely. Comb them through gently with your fingers if they knot.

What sizes does it come in?

It is available in 16 x 16, 18 x 18 and 32 x 32 inches. Pick 16 or 18 inches for a sofa or chair, and 32 x 32 inches for a large floor cushion or a single standout piece in a seating corner.

Will the yellow fade or run?

Bright cotton patches need gentle care, so wash it alone in cold water with a mild detergent for the first few washes, in case any colour releases. To keep the yellow sunny, dry it in shade and avoid leaving it in strong direct sun for long stretches, which can fade any dyed fabric.

What kind of room suits it?

Yellow lifts a room, so it shines in spaces that need warmth: a grey or white living room, a balcony seating corner or a child's reading nook. It pairs well with teal, white and cane or wooden furniture.

What role does Kantha stitching play here?

Kantha running stitches help join the patches and run across the surface in fine lines. Alongside the Kambadiya patchwork, Banjara embroidery and mirror dots, they add hand-stitched texture to the cover, and their lines are part of what you see when you look closely.
