A few years ago, Amelia Handegan used a gorgeous turquoise Indian sari on a Charleston four-poster-bed published in Southern Accents. I've never forgotten it. A sumptuous silk sari instantly adds that well-traveled flair to a bed (even if it was purchased a block away from your apartment or via eBay.) And of course, it's easy to whisk off and store if you grow tired of it.Above, I've assembled a little inspiration board for a bedroom with a fresh white tufted headboard and a brocaded ikat sari from Marla Mallett.

Oooo, I like this idea! The pink looks great with your chair AND lamp.
thanks katie!
Ok--this may be my favorite of the options you have posted. I like that it is a little less sweet and bit more layered (and versatile too). I think it is a really pretty combination and would incorporate your love of Indian textiles.
Well-said BA! You nailed it.
