How to Layer Your Bed for Winter: Razai, Dohar & Throws Styling Guide

When winter arrives, your bedroom becomes your cosy escape. The easiest way to make it warm, stylish, and comfortable is by layering your bed properly. With the right mix of Razai, Dohar, and Throws, you can add warmth as well as beauty - especially with handcrafted pieces from Jharokha.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to layer your winter bedding, what to use first, and how to style it like a premium home décor setup.


1. Start with a Warm Base Layer

Begin with a soft, premium bedsheet. For winter, choose:

  • Jaipuri block print bedsheets

  • Cotton rich or thicker weave fabrics

They give your bed a warm feel and set the tone for the entire look.


2. Add a Lightweight Layer: The Dohar

A Dohar is perfect for mild winter nights or as an additional layer.
Place the dohar neatly over the bedsheet. It works well because:

  • It adds gentle warmth

  • It feels soft and breathable

  • It makes the bed look fuller and luxurious

If you like light winter comfort, keep the dohar folded at the foot of the bed.


3. Bring in the Main Warmth: The Razai

A Jaipuri Razai is the heart of winter bedding.
Spread it over the bed or layer it above the dohar for extra warmth.

Why Razai is perfect for winter:

  • Soft, fluffy, and extremely warm

  • Handcrafted cotton filling

  • Feels cosy without being too heavy

  • Beautiful block print designs for a royal touch

Choose colours that match your room — warm shades like maroon, mustard, or classic Jaipuri blue.


4. Add Style with Throws

A throw blanket instantly upgrades the winter look.
You can style it in two ways:

  • Neatly folded at the edge for a minimal look

  • Casually draped over one corner for a modern, stylish touch

Throws add texture and make your bedding look layered and premium.


5. Use Cushions to Complete the Look

Cushions and pillow covers bring everything together.
Try:

  • 2 large pillows

  • 2 medium cushions

  • 1 decorative cushion in the centre

Pick colours that match the razai or dohar for a coordinated winter look.


6. Colour & Print Tips for Winter

To make your bedroom look warm and inviting, choose:

  • Earthy tones: brown, rust, mustard

  • Royal Jaipuri shades: indigo, red, maroon

  • Classic block prints for a handcrafted vibe

These colours not only feel warm but also look beautiful in winter light.


7. Keep It Practical

Layering should look good, but also feel comfortable.
A few tips:

  • Avoid overly heavy quilts

  • Use breathable cotton layers

  • Keep an extra throw for very cold nights

With the right layering of bedsheet, dohar, razai, and throws, your bed becomes winter-ready - warm, stylish, and uniquely Indian.
