Khamma Ghani Applique Cushion Cover (Set of 5) Red

What does the appliqué on these covers look like?

Interlocking petals and leaves fill each cover in a dense, tone-on-tone pattern, with a deeper red layered over a coral red base. Because both layers are in the same colour family, the design comes through as rich texture rather than sharp contrast.

Will such a warm red overpower my room?

It is a bold, warm colour, so it does draw the eye. On a neutral sofa in beige, grey or off-white it adds warmth without clashing. If your room already has a strong colour, a couple of covers mixed with plain cushions keeps the balance.

Do inserts come with the covers?

No, only the five covers are included, without inserts. They are 16x16 inches each, so 16x16 inch fillers are the ones to buy. A well-filled insert keeps the dense petal pattern flat and even, so the tone-on-tone texture shows properly.

Who are the artisans behind this set?

The covers are handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group, led by master artisan Keshav. We buy directly from his embroidery cooperative, so the set reaches you without middlemen between you and the makers.

Can I use them on a balcony or patio?

Yes, they can go in covered outdoor spaces like a balcony or patio, on a swing or a cane chair. Keep them away from direct sunlight, rain and moisture, since these are pure cotton covers with hand-stitched appliqué, and bring them indoors in damp weather.

What can I pair them with?

They sit well with plain cotton cushions in ivory, mustard or charcoal, and with jute rugs, dark wood and brass. Mixing two or three of these with solids lets the appliqué stand out while keeping the sofa from looking busy.
