Search for colourful bedding in India and you will quickly come across Jaipuri bedsheets. But what makes a bedsheet "Jaipuri", and how do you choose a good one online? This guide explains the style, the most popular prints and simple buying tips.
Where does the Jaipuri style come from?
Jaipur, the Pink City of Rajasthan, has been a centre of textile printing for centuries. Nearby towns such as Sanganer and Bagru are famous for their traditional block printing, where carved wooden blocks are used to stamp patterns on fabric. Over time, the motifs and colours of this craft became known around the world as the Jaipuri print style.
Today the term "Jaipuri bedsheet" is used for bedsheets inspired by this tradition: bright colours, repeating floral and paisley motifs, ornamental borders and Rajasthani design elements. Techniques vary from brand to brand, so always read the product details if the printing method matters to you.
Popular Jaipuri bedsheet prints
Buta (small floral motif)
The buta is a small repeating flower or bouquet motif, often arranged in neat rows with a contrasting border. It is classic, calm and suits almost every bedroom. See our buta print bedsheets.
Mandala and medallion
A large circular design in the centre of the bedsheet, surrounded by rings of pattern. Mandalas make a strong statement and look stunning on a neatly made bed. Shop mandala bedsheets.
Elephant (haathi) prints
Elephants are a symbol of royalty and good fortune in Rajasthani art. Decorated elephant motifs add a regal, festive feel. Explore elephant print bedsheets.
Peacock motifs
India's national bird is a favourite in traditional textiles, often shown inside framed patches with ornamental borders. See peacock motif bedsheets.
Florals and vines
