Home Textiles

Fabindia Roma home textiles are bedspreads, cushions, table runners, napkins, placemats and kitchen accessories made from hand-printed Indian cotton. The technique used is traditional block print: specialised artisans impress the decorative motif onto the fabric using hand-carved teak-wood blocks, one colour at a time. The pigments penetrate the cotton fibre rather than remaining on the surface, ensuring colours that last over time. Some textiles — such as quilted bedspreads and pot holders — are also hand-stitched, with seams that follow the design of the print.

We recommend the first wash by hand in cold water, separately from light-coloured items, to fix the natural pigments of the block print. Subsequently, the washing machine can be used at 30°C on a delicate cycle with reduced spin. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Dry in the shade, ideally flat for larger bedspreads. Iron inside out at medium heat. Indian cotton grows progressively softer after every wash, and the colours of the artisanal print acquire a natural patina that makes every textile unique over time.

The Fabindia Roma home textile collection comprises: printed cotton bedspreads, quilted bedspreads in various sizes, Indian cotton cushions, table runners, printed cotton napkins, cotton placemats and kitchen accessories including pot holders and bread baskets. All made using the block print technique on Indian cotton.

Yes, versatility is one of the key qualities of Fabindia Roma Indian cotton bedspreads. Beyond their use as bedspreads, they work perfectly as sofa throws, tablecloths for large tables, picnic blankets, armchair drapes or bed headboard hangings. Hand-printed cotton is a lightweight yet durable fabric that adapts to different surfaces without slipping. The block print patterns, with their rich motifs and deep colours, work as well in the bedroom as in the living room or garden.

The most natural approach is to start with a block print pattern you love and build around it. A cotton bedspread can serve as the chromatic base for the bedroom, paired with Indian cotton cushions in a different pattern but compatible tone. In the dining room, a table runner at the centre, coordinating printed cotton napkins and contrasting cotton placemats create a table that tells an artisanal story. The beauty of Fabindia textiles is that different patterns from the same hand-printing tradition coexist harmoniously, without the need for uniformity.
