The Earthy Vibes

“The earth doesn’t belong to us. We belong to the earth.”

- Chief Seattle

Pottery has always been an artistic way to add a special touch to your place. A classic and beautiful art form boasting of rich cultural relevance and a strong foundation in our country; pottery and ceramics can boost the appealing quotient of any home. Available in different shapes and sizes, pottery items are definitely one of the most versatile home accessories that you can own.

The easiest way to add some pottery charm is by putting plants or flowers in an intricately designed earthen pot. You can also use pots in multiple colours in your garden to make the space look lively and spirited. Make sure that the pot you use is deep and wide enough to let the plant grow.

You can also give your coffee table a stylish feel by keeping a clay pot in the centre of the table. Go all out and experiment with iridescent hues to bring out the best in your living room. But make sure to coordinate the colour with the furniture of your room.

Opt for grouping and style the pottery pieces over a bookcase, tabletop or even on the floor. Create a contemporary style that you deem suitable. From subtle shades to bright and shiny ones, choose something that speaks to you with ease. Earthen pots effortlessly amplify the chic factor of your space. Your home should speak a language that’s your own, a language that brings a smile to your face and soothes your soul, a language that is reminiscent of the earth. Guests will surely imitate your aesthetic sense as they admire your earthy choices that make your home stand out.
