From the sofa to the bed, the table to the kitchen, all the way to the wardrobe: a block-print cushion, a hand-stitched quilt, a block-printed tablecloth, a printed kimono. The same materials, the same craftsmanship, the same urge to layer.

In India, textiles build up over generations and tell a shared story, layer by layer. Every collection carries this heritage: home linen, table linen, accessories, fashion. How would you adapt this to your interior?

What is layering in interior design?

Layering is the art of mixing and matching fabrics and textures to create a cosy space that is unique in style. A handcrafted quilt thrown over a sofa, a block-print cushion against a vintage kantha fabric. A tablecloth, a placemat and a napkin in mix and match contrasting prints. Block printing makes this come naturally: each hand-printed motif carries its own slight irregularities, and no two pieces from the same collection are ever quite identical.

Where to start?

With a single spot: a sofa, a bed, an armchair. Choose one statement piece, such as a cushion, a quilt or a bedspread, and give it room to breathe among neutral tones that pick up one of its colours. The secret is to look for what connects: a common tone, a shared shade. That one thread is enough to hold everything together, even when the prints seem to have nothing in common.

And on the table?

The tablecloth sets the palette. Soft colour palettes and natural linen leave plenty of room for the pieces that follow. Add a table runner or placemats in a bolder print, then the napkins: that's where anything goes. A brighter colour, an unexpected print, as long as it echoes something else on the table. A joyful mix of patterns and colours on a table is often the ingredient that brings people together best.

How do you mix prints without overdoing it?

Always come back to the palette. Follow the rule of three: three prints, three textures, three shades that create movement without overwhelming the eye. A block-print cushion, a quilt in bold colours, a more understated cover that picks up one of them. Mix & match works when there's a common thread. Look for the colour that runs through everything, not a perfect match between prints.

Beyond the living room and bedroom?

Everywhere. Block-print tea towels and trivets in the kitchen. A printed kimono or scarf in the wardrobe. Textiles travel from room to room with the seasons and your mood. They are never tied to a single use.

That's the joy of handcrafted and colourful interiors: a home that tells its story through the same prints, carried from room to room. Dare to mix & match, one layer at a time.
