How a Maroon Bamboo Curtain Found Its Perfect Home at a Homestay

When a homestay host ordered a maroon bamboo curtain from Silpakarman, she realised her space needed one extra panel. With a little guidance, she turned two curtains into a custom fit—repurposing the remaining panels and styling them with flowers, table linen and postcards to create a warm, cohesive dining corner that guests now love.

The Order and the First Look

It started with a Three Panel Bamboo Curtain – Maroon, ordered for a dining area at a homestay called @palighar. When the curtain arrived, the host loved the colour and texture but quickly realised the window needed one more panel for a full coverage. Instead of disappointment, she reached out to Silpakarman on chat to explore options.

From Sizing Doubt to Design Solution

In the conversation, the team suggested a simple, practical approach: place another order for the same curtain, then cut an extra panel to fill the remaining gap while repurposing the leftover panels as runners or decor in another space. The host agreed, placed the second order, and shared photos showing that the space was “exactly one panel short”.

A few days later, she wrote back:

“Cut the panel like you said and it fit perfectly.”

The images she shared capture a dining room now framed by four maroon bamboo panels, with sunlight filtering through the weave and pattern, creating a soft, warm glow behind the table.

Styling the Space: Flowers, Textiles and Bamboo

What makes this story special is how the curtain interacts with everything around it. In her photos, the host has:

• Placed vibrant flowers—pink camellias and orange marigolds—in simple vases at the centre of the table, echoing the warm tones of the curtain.

• Layered patterned table linen and a textured red runner, which sit beautifully against the maroon bamboo backdrop.

• Included a woven basket of fruits and Silpakarman’s cotton bag and postcards, making the entire setting feel personal, lived‑in and cohesive.

The curtain is not just a functional light filter; it becomes the visual anchor that ties the earthy walls, wooden chairs, textiles and decor together.

Packaging, Coasters and the Experience Beyond the Product

In the chat, the host also thanked Silpakarman for the “lovely postcards” and said the packaging was “brilliant”. She later received a small gift—bamboo coasters—as a token of appreciation, and wrote back:

“Hello, thank you for the lovely coasters. Loved my shopping experience with you.”

For Silpakarman, this reinforces a core belief: good design is not only about the product, but also about how it travels, arrives and continues to live in someone’s space.

A Homestay, a Handle and a Shared Story

The host mentioned that she bought the curtain specifically for her homestay and encouraged Silpakarman to tag @palighar when sharing the story. In doing so, the maroon bamboo curtain now carries two narratives: one of Tripura’s weaving and sustainable craft, and another of a lived‑in homestay where guests sit at a table framed by bamboo, flowers and light.

This is the journey of a single curtain—from order page to homestay wall, from sizing challenge to perfect fit, from package to personalised corner—and it’s exactly the kind of customer story Silpakarman hopes each product will create.
