Best handicraft items for home interior decoration

When decorating your home, you can reach a point where you wonder ‘what else can I use?’. You’ve maxed out the amount of photos you want to display and have more candles than your local boutique, so what other home decor or items can you use to decorate your house to make it feel like home?

Let's Begin. 

1. Wall prints

So often when decorating, we focus on what’s on the floor and neglect our walls. There’s a huge range of affordable wall art on the market now. You can find a large scale piece that looks fabulous without breaking the bank. We share our list of the best places to buy affordable artwork online here.

2. Clocks

A wall clock can be a beautiful decor piece — even if we have the time displayed on just about every device nowadays! Look for one that works in with your interior style, whether that’s coastal, industrial, contemporary or something else. If you’re not sure what your style is, take our fun and free interior style quiz here.

3. Table lamps

We often harp on about the importance of lighting and not just relying on ceiling lights to illuminate our homes. Table and floor lamps cast softer light and reduce harsh shadows in our home — and they can be a decor piece in their own right!

4. Cushions

If you ask us, there’s no better way to get bang for buck than simply switching over your cushions. They’re a great way to introduce a new colour palette into a room or add more texture. Our hot tip, switch the regular foam cushion inserts over to feather inserts for a more luxe look and added comfort!

5. Candles

You know how obsessed we are with candles so this one was definitely going to be on the list! Candles add ambience to a home in a way few other decor pieces can 

6. Rugs

Rugs serve so many uses in a home — they define zones, add warmth and can soften hard flooring. And when you use one with a bold colour or pattern, they can be like art for a room.

7. Vases

Glass or ceramic, metal or concrete, there’s no shortage in choice of vases on the market nowadays! Depending on the size and style of your vase, these can look fabulous as a stand alone item (such as an oversized vase filled with dried branches on a sideboard) or work into a styled arrangement beautifully.

8. Art

There’s something so special about having a one-off or limited edition piece of original art in our home. Knowing the meaning behind a piece or about the artist adds to the unique story of our homes. Whether it’s a painting, sculpture, glasswork or something else, we always recommend investing in art.

9. Books

Add that homely feel and display your personal interests with books. These look great in a bookshelf (obviously!), on a coffee table, bedside table and just about any other surface area you can think of.

10. Mirrors

Bounce light around or create the illusion of a larger space with a strategically placed mirror.

11. Indoor plants

You can never have too many indoor plants. Fact. And there’s never been a better range of stylish vessels to display your indoor plants!

12. Photo frames

Framing photos or printing them onto canvas adds personality to your home and is a way of putting your happiest memories on display.

13. Pinboards

From circular to arch shape, hexagonal or something else, pinboards have come a long way! Keep organised and add a dose of style to your home with a pinboard.

14. Trays

A catch-all tray in the entry of a home is a styling essential we think everyone should have. Trays can serve many other styling uses though — some just for looks (like as a tray on your coffee table to anchor your arrangement) and as a practical tool (such as near your coffee station).

15. Blue Pottery, which is practiced in Rajasthan is loved for its intricate, Persian motifs on porcelain in the vivid blue shade that are converted into decor items, dinner ware, and more household articles. This hand painted decorative plate comes in a set of 2 and would be a perfect addition in a living room, stairway wall or even the dining area.

16. Block Printed outfits have become a classic ethnic piece, and the same can be adopted for home decor as well. This beautiful floral printed table runner will add an Indian vibe to your home and bring a touch of freshness to it.

17. Circular Rug will make your house colourful and vibrant along with a rustic appeal that will not feel too overpowering. Place this jute rug on a patio or any outer space to to brighten up the decor.

Jute is also durable and easy to clean as a textile.
