MODIFICATION OF EXISTING CARPET DESIGNS OF BHADHOI AND ITS VARIATIONS WITH THE USE OF GEOMETRIC MOTIF

In the present study, geometric designs for carpet tufting were developed. These designs were developed after surveying the demand and preferences of carpet buyers and users. Nedgraphics and autotex softwares were used to develop carpet designs. Developed designs were evaluated based on criteria such as appearance, comfort and colour schemes etc. It was found that geometrical designs employing minimal colours and inspired from nature, were given preference over other traditional and abstract patterns, by the judges.
