9 Ways to Integrate Jali in Home Decor
Invite the charm of jali or lattice designs into your home in more ways than one
Jali screens have an old-world charm to them – after all, these were essential decor features in old palaces and forts in India, as they were the perfect architectural solution to combat hot summers.
