blanki.in – where every thread tells a story
Windows deserve weighted hugs
Heavy-texture curtains are the upholstery your walls never got. blanki.in’s 320 gsm cotton-velvet panels fall 108 inches pre-wash, landing just 1 cm above the floor after the first shrink—perfect pool without the trip.
Let the fabric kiss the floor, not trip it.
Rich tones that borrow from Indian soil
Burnished turmeric, forge-grey charcoal, river-silt beige—dyed with low-liquor reactive baths that use 60 % less water. Rich tones born from actual earth, not a Pantone chip.
Colours that remember the ground they came from.
Statement drapes that double as insulation
The thermal pad woven between cotton faces adds 0.4 TOG rating—statement drapes that keep the AC chill in and street noise out, saving both decibels and rupees.
Curtains that hush the horn, not just the sun.
Heavy texture, light maintenance
Velvet face, cotton back: the pile faces the room, the cotton breathes against glass. Wash cold, line dry, steam while damp—luxury wall décor India you can unzip and launder.
Royal hand, launder-able heart.
Peel and stick wallpaper vs woven weight
3D wallpaper trends add depth but trap dust. A 240 gsm jacquard curtain delivers the same shadow play yet shakes clean in seconds—texture you can move, not scrape.
Movable shadows > permanent paste.
Installation – dress the window like a pro
Measure the drop myth
Ceiling to floor minus 1 cm = glamour puddle. For 9 ft ceilings order 96-inch; 10 ft lofts go 108-inch—no “adjust later” regret.
Anchor the muscle
Mark bracket holes 4 inches beyond window frame. Drill, plug, screw—anchors every 24 inches for recycled-aluminium rods rated 20 kg.
Slide the spline
Internal spline keeps fabric from sagging. Push curtain header onto rod, pleat fingers 3-finger pinch for instant fullness—no hook counting drama.
Steam while damp
Post-install mist with handheld steamer; gravity pulls creases out as it dries—built-in wrinkle release, no iron burns.
Layer the sheer secret
Clip a 60 gsm sheer behind velvet on the same track. Daytime = sun-kissed glow, nighttime = cocoon mode—one rod, two moods.
Measure once, drape forever.
Size that respects Indian ceilings
9-foot standard? Order 96-inch drop. 10-foot loft? 108-inch. blanki.in skips the “adjustable” gimmick—precise cuts mean no awkward mid-wall hemline.
| Ceiling Height | Curtain Drop (in) | Pool Allowance |
|---|---|---|
| 8 ft 6 in | 90 | Kiss floor |
| 9 ft | 96 | 1 cm puddle |
| 10 ft | 108 | 1.5 cm puddle |
Hardware that carries the heft
Recycled-aluminium rods 1-inch diameter, internal spline, wall anchors every 24 inches—curtain hardware rated 20 kg, because heavy textiles deserve muscle, not miracles.
Metal that shoulders the drape, not the drama.
Layer trick for texture junkies
Hang a sheer 60 gsm curtain behind the velvet panel—daytime filters light, nighttime keeps the cocoon. One track, two moods, zero re-drill.
Daylight sonnet, moonlight lullaby.
Care cycle, not landfill cycle
When trends shift, send old panels back via blanki.in up-cycle program—fibres become industrial insulation, rods are re-melted. Wall texture ideas that close the loop, not the dump.
Let the curtain retire, not rot.
The final sweep
Let the walls stay flat; let the curtains sculpt the space. blanki.in turns heavy textures and rich tones into movable architecture you can draw open every morning.
Draw the curtain, draw the day.
