Ikat in home interiors- a pattern, style or fad!
If there is a pattern which is globally loved, followed and made since time immemorial its -Ikat! We would love to call it a trump or even joker of all the patterns. It can hardly ever go wrong if you are playing the Ikat card.
If you try to look for its history(here & here)- it says that it has been practiced world over since ages with some variation in techniques. Without doubt it stands today as an all time fave for many. And nowadays apart from textiles we also see its use in tiles, graphics, home decor accents, etc.
A variation of white and gray Ikat on wall paper can be seen in the above.

We feel the biggest forte of Ikat is in its outcome- always colorful and very traditional(no matter which procedure has been followed for creating it). As for home décor goes, from all major names to small time business owner’s still continue to swear by this pattern called Ikat. Whether it’s on a rug, a throw pillow, a bed spread or curtains; whether you home is traditional or modern; and whether it’s in India or US- the spells of its magic is equally shared.
