Hi Friends, today ‘s post is inspired by a unique traditional Indian Furniture Called Charpai/charpoy, a four legged bed( to know more about charpoy check an interesting read) . For me, it is a treasured family heirloom.. Charpoy is one piece of furniture that I feel most of the Indians can relate to. People Sitting on these string cots at any roadside dhabas or in rural areas in India is a common sight . Charpoys once used outdoor , are now used throughout all rooms of the house. It is amazing to see how this modest piece of furniture has evolved over the years . While keeping the original look intact, many versions of charpoys are now available . ranging from multi color string, colourful legged charpoys to charpoys entirely made of metal . These charpoys have blended in so perfectly to suit any ambience or decor and are not only adding comfortable element but also elegance and class to any room .
