"Throw Culture"

The “Throw culture” has been around since quite some time in India but they are even now not that popular. With a comfy couch or a lounge chaise or chair or even on ur bed, u have to have a Throw on it. It looks great, makes a style statement and is there for you to comfort yourself.


Yes COMFORT! Imagine lying on your cushiony couch, watching t.v. or reading a nice book and feeling cold; because of your air conditioner or coz of the slight chill in the weather. Ruins the fantasy, right? Well it won't get ruined if you have a nice soft Throw draped around your the backrest of your couch. You can simply pull it and wrap it around yourself and feel all cozy. Fantasy restored.

A Throw gives you warmth and is so easy to handle. When you are done with it simply drape it back on the back rest of your lounge chaise or armchair or couch. On your bed it would look nice if neatly folded and placed in a stylised manner and since its just a bit larger than a shawl and not as bulky as a quilt or a blanket, its quite easy to fold.

Not in the mood to buy a Throw? Simple, just take out a nice shawl of yours and play with it to drape it interestingly as a throw where u wud like to. Even better if its a Pashmina.

Here are some pictures to show you all wat i mean.

Lighting up your Home

Give your home a makeover by just making some small changes. One way is by 'Lighting up your home' literally. Get an interesting piece of a lamp, place it at a dramatic spot and voila! There is some more light in the room and something interesting to look at too. Lamps can be placed in your drawing room, living room, bedroom, library or any other statement room you would like to show off to your guests. Even your kitchen and kids' study room can have lamps as per their designing. Don't put limitations on yourself.
Feeling low? Switch the lamp on and feel brighter. Get a lamp with mood lighting or ambiance lighting (try Philips Ecomoods; it will save you some money as well) options and use it too for some special moments. And most importantly, you have to have it on whenever you are having guests over. This one lamp can make the statement you want to with your precious home.

          For a Classic or Sophisticated look you can get a simple but elegant lamp for example these lamps from The FCML store.












          If you want a Glamorous look for your home you can go for some glitzy lamps like these designer ones.




















             You can also get Floor lamps as they can oh-so-well light up those dead corner in a room.

 






       




                 Get that Funky and Experimental edge by placing wierd but cool lamps like the mannequin lamp which can be placed as one(as shown in the image) or different lamps or the Toobe lamps or else get a Vintage feel by placing this Vespa lamp shown in the next group of playfull lamps.













       Lamps can add such a glow and charecter to your house that it will get all the more closer to your dream of a home. Go out and get one ASAP.
