Cushion covers, table mats, and a house that looks as festive as the outfit does.
Onam dressing gets most of the attention, but the house is where most of the festival actually happens — the pookalam laid out on the floor, guests arriving for the sadya, the whole family gathered in one room. House of Vandy's first home décor line takes the same handloom fabrics and motifs from the Mathangi Collection and brings them off the body and into the living room and dining table. Here's how to use it.
The Living Room: Layer the Cushions
None of these cushion covers are meant to be used alone. Each pattern has a companion piece in a different texture or technique, so the easiest way to style a sofa or bed is to mix two or three from the same family rather than buying five of the same print.
The Dining Table: Set It for the Sadya
The sadya deserves a table that matches the effort going into the meal. The Nira Table Mat is sold as a set of four, which is exactly enough for a small family sadya, and its striped, checked patchwork pulls from the same design language as the cushion covers in the next room.
Mixing Patterns Without It Looking Cluttered
- Pick one motif family per room. Kattam checks in the living room, Nira stripes at the table — don't put all seven pieces in the same space.
- Use the appliqué and screen-print Chembarathi pieces as a pair, not duplicates. They share a motif but not a technique, so two together add texture rather than repetition.
- Let one plain surface breathe. A neutral sofa throw or table runner between patterned pieces keeps the room from feeling busy.
The Takeaway
Onam styling doesn't have to stop at the wardrobe. The same handloom fabrics and motifs that carry through the Mathangi Collection now cover the sofa and the sadya table too — pick a motif, layer two or three pieces from it, and let the house match the occasion.
