Table Cloths and Bed Covers

Every Fabindia Roma Indian bedspread is printed using the block print technique: artisans use hand-carved wooden blocks dipped in colour and pressed onto the laid-out cotton. The process is repeated colour by colour, block by block, until the full design is complete. This manual method explains the slight variations between one piece and another — a hallmark of artisanal authenticity.

A cotton Indian bedspread is a single layer of hand-printed cotton — lightweight and versatile. A hand-stitched quilted bedspread, on the other hand, consists of two layers of cotton sewn together with an inner filling and hand-stitching, making it fuller and warmer. Quilted bedspreads are available in both single and double sizes.

Yes, the Fabindia printed cotton bedspread is designed to be multifunctional. The same fabric that covers a bed becomes a tablecloth for a convivial table. Many customers also use them as picnic blankets, sofa throws or wall hangings. They pair beautifully with hand-printed cotton napkins for a table setting that is consistent in material and style.

An Indian cotton bedspread can be machine-washed at 30°C on a delicate cycle with a neutral detergent. During the first few washes, a slight colour release is normal — a characteristic of the natural dyes used in block printing. We recommend washing separately from light-coloured garments and air-drying, avoiding direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the colours.

To create a coordinated artisanal textile scheme, cotton bedspreads pair with Indian cotton cushions on the same bed, with printed cotton table runners for the dining area, and with cotton placemats to complete the table. The entire range shares the same material and the same hand-printing technique.
