By Hatkala – Handcrafted with Heart
Handicrafts bring more than just decoration to your home — they bring stories, culture, and a unique personal touch. At Hatkala, we believe every home deserves a piece of handmade art that reflects tradition, creativity, and soul. But with endless options in shapes, styles, and materials, how do you choose the perfect one for your space?
Let’s walk you through a step-by-step guide to finding the right handicraft for your home.
1. Know Your Home’s Style
The first step is to understand the overall theme of your interiors. Handicrafts should blend into your space while adding character.
Modern or Minimalist Spaces: Choose clean and elegant handicrafts like hand-carved wooden pieces or subtle clay art.
Rustic or Traditional Homes: Go for bold mirror work, earthy terracotta, or folk art.
Boho or Artistic Corners: Opt for colorful embroidered items, beadwork, or tribal crafts.
Let the handicraft highlight your home’s personality without overpowering it.
2. Choose the Right Material
Different materials give different vibes. Pick one that suits both your home and your lifestyle.
Wood: Timeless, durable, and perfect for furniture and wall art.
Clay & Terracotta: Adds a raw, earthy feel – ideal for decor accents and planters.
Metal: Traditional and classy, great for idols and hanging lamps.
Textiles: Rich with embroidery, weaving, and hand-painting – beautiful for cushion covers, wall hangings, or rugs.
Mirror & Mud Art: Unique and eye-catching, perfect for walls and entryways.
3. Balance Size and Space
A beautiful handicraft should fit well within its space.
Small Rooms: Choose compact wall art, shelf decor, or light textiles.
Large Areas: Think bold centerpieces, statement furniture, or oversized murals.
Corners and Nooks: Perfect for planters, handcrafted stools, or hanging decor.
Measure your area and visualize the piece before buying.
4. Match or Contrast Colors
Colors evoke emotion. Choose handicrafts that enhance your room’s color scheme.
Neutral Interiors: Add a splash of color with vibrant folk art or hand-painted ceramics.
Colorful Rooms: Tone it down with earthy and natural pieces like jute or wooden crafts.
Accent Walls: Use handcrafted mirrors or paintings to create a focal point.
Always aim for harmony and balance in color choices.
5. Pick Purposeful Pieces
While some handicrafts are purely decorative, others are functional too.
Trays, lamps, pots, and boxes can be both artistic and useful.
Handwoven baskets work as stylish storage.
Embroidered covers or hand-stitched curtains add comfort and charm.
Functionality meets tradition when you choose the right item.
6. Support Authentic Artisanship
At Hatkala, we source directly from local artisans who pour their hearts into every creation. When you buy a piece from us, you support generations of skill, culture, and sustainable livelihoods.
Look for products that come with artisan stories and traditional methods — these aren’t just decor items, they’re cultural legacies.
7. Choose What Speaks to You
In the end, choose with your heart. Whether it’s a Rajasthani mirror frame, a Gujarat-inspired mud mural, or a Kashmiri hand-painted tray — your home should reflect you. Let every corner tell a story that matters to you.
