Hyderbadi Brocade

If you wish to add more glamour to your sitting area brighten the dull shaded silk covers with a gold border. Even for the floor cushion covers, matte silk is a great option to look forward to.

Veil Of Time

For different occasions, you can get different sets of dupioni silk curtains made. Dupioni silk curtains are a great option to choose from. Not only do they lend an elegant royal look but are also available in multiple color combinations.

A set of pale pink curtains mixed with slim zari-bordered valences would enhance the Indian look. Ensure the valences are of silk fabric as it will add to the traditional look.

Salad Cubes
