Creative crafts: 5 ideas to bring more personality to the home

Betting on elements that ensure more personality and beauty for the home is the desire of anyone who loves decoration and architecture. Handmade artworks are even more recommended to create a unique look and even bring a more artistic touch to the projects. Creative artworks have gained prominence for being able to convey a unique warmth, in addition to a revival of elements related to nature – such as clay, wool, linen, straw, among others.

How to include artworks in your home?

There are no limits to handmade pieces, and the best part is being able to count on a decorative element (and often functional) made according to your preferences, ideally designed for your home. Below are the main types of artworks perfect for decoration:

Ceramics

With a natural and super elegant finish, the pieces of ceramics made of clay can serve as an example of flexible artwork, capable of assuming several functions within the home – from dinnerware, jewelry holders, and even decorative vases.

Embroidery

The embroidery has become much more than a decorative element, but a true hobby for those seeking refuge in manual activities. Bringing the pieces to life on fabric creates a delicate look, perfect for living rooms, dining areas, and even bedrooms.

Crochet

O salão, onde os visitantes degustam os vinhos da Woodswine, é quase como uma gruta, todo forrado por pedra gnaisse preta. Já na parte mais alta, as cores aparecem no teto azul, na fachada vermelha e na cozinha amarela. “Quisemos trazer o colorido que marca nosso trabalho para o espaço criando um ambiente menos formal”, diz Pedro. O piso, em pastilha, remete às antigas adegas. Mas é a fachada externa que mais chama atenção já que foi toda coberta com um enorme painel de crochê confeccionado pelas artesãs do Instituto Proeza, de Brasília. (André Nazareth/CASACOR)

The crochet is back in style: both for making clothing and in interior design. Investing in pieces like rugs, pillow covers, and blankets can be the key to ensuring more coziness; and those who want a surprising look can invest in crochet in robust wall panels, as in the project of Pedro Coimbra and Jackson Tinoco for the CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2024.
