I have always been proud of our rich and varied cultural heritage and what could possibly be a more suitable way of  expressing  your love and respect for the crafts of india than through handicrafts showcased in your home and thus adding to the home decor while giving it that distinct stamp of Indian-ness .

Here are some  beautiful home decor ideas from Craftsvilla for sprucing up the home and adding that traditional touch to your homes :

1. Paintings – Your walls are that one space which catches the eye instantly and at the same time is easy to decorate .Madhubani paintings and art work made of embroidery like Phulkari, kantha etc on cloth are great ways to add colour and showcase our rich Indian handlooms .I even like the idea of cutting out and framing old silk sari pallus as pieces of art .

4. Statues – From inexpensive Plaster of Paris to beautiful bronze and brass statues would not only add beauty to the home but also emanate a spiritual energy and give a calm aura to the house.
