Home furnishings cover the textiles that dress a room: curtains, cushions, throws, bedspreads, table linen, rugs and upholstery fabric. India is one of the world’s major sources of them, and Karur is at the centre of its cotton made-ups trade. This guide explains which product comes from which hub, why Karur matters, and lists the top 10 home furnishing manufacturers in India for importers, brands and retailers.
Disclosure: Looms publishes this list. We are a home textile buying agent based in Karur and Tirupur, not a factory, and we list ourselves first because we source home furnishings across these clusters. The other nine are independent manufacturers, chosen for product range, export record and experience.

Why Karur Is India’s Home Furnishing Hub
Karur, on the Amaravathi river in Tamil Nadu, grew from a long handloom tradition into one of India’s largest centres for home furnishing exports. Most of the work is in cotton made-ups: curtains, cushion covers, bedspreads, table and kitchen linen. The town and the surrounding Erode and Tirupur belt have the full chain in one place, from yarn and weaving to dyeing, printing, stitching and export packing.
For buyers, that means home furnishing manufacturers in Karur can develop yarn-dyed checks, stripes, jacquards and prints quickly, match colours across a coordinated range, and ship export volumes through the ports of Chennai and Tuticorin. Many units have supplied European, US and Japanese importers for decades.

Karur, Panipat or Jaipur?
The top home furnishing companies in India tend to specialise by cluster, so the right hub depends on the product:
- Karur: cotton made-ups in volume, yarn-dyed and printed curtains, cushion covers, bedspreads, table and kitchen linen, with consistent colour across coordinated ranges.
- Panipat: texture and weight, such as rugs, throws, blankets, chenille and recycled-yarn products.
- Jaipur: hand block printed and embroidered furnishings for decor and lifestyle collections.
From our sourcing desk
A buyer from Finland needed a range of different home textile products for one collection. Rather than sourcing each item from a separate manufacturer and managing them all, they placed the whole range with Looms, because we could bring every product together under one roof. For a home furnishing collection, that means one contact, one quality standard and one shipment plan across curtains, cushions, throws and table linen.
