Refurbish your home creatively by using vintage Sarees.

In a culturally-rich country like India, it isn’t a rare sight to come across closets full of precious vintage sarees that were worn and adored by our mothers or grannies decades ago. Fading trends could be a reason of not draping them again. But right from free-flowing satins and sheer chiffons, to cool cotton and antique silk, these evergreen sarees remain nothing less than ethnic art pieces. So why not put them to smart use and decorate the home instead?

Mehta Saree Centre reviews the six out-of-the-box ways in which you can reuse old and unused sarees to infuse a dash of traditional opulence into your home’s decor.

Curtains

Lend a traditional touch to the decor of your house by transforming old sarees into brand new curtains. Simply get hold of a couple of old sarees in contrasting colours. Stitch them together and infuse a few patchworks to create vintage curtains.

Cushions

Use old embroidered sarees artistically by converting them into stunning cushion covers. It will add a pinch of unique charm and colour to the settings and will uplift the decor instantly.

Table covers and runners

Give a fancy makeover to the dining area by spreading a gorgeous vintage saree over the table. You could also cut out the broad embroidered borders of an old saree and use it as a table runner. This simple trick will surely leave your guests wowed.

Sofa upholstery

Pick up a couple of silk and brocade sarees and complement them to fashion one-of-a-kind, antique upholstery for your sofa.

Wall frames

You could give a complete facelift to any plain-looking wall in your home by using fancy sarees creatively. All you have to do is cut out a saree’s exquisitely-designed pallu, get it framed, and hang it to decorate an empty wall.

Quilts

Make a great use of old silk sarees by tailoring a charming quilt out of them. Add a hint of Indian handloom into places and create attractive patchwork designs.
