The Indian heritage and culture is one of the oldest in the world. While India is fast moving towards modernism and globalisation, there are still some pockets in this country that are quite content with having a 'connect' with their past and their cultures. The furniture and handicrafts that come from these areas are some of the best in the world. These handicrafts, furniture and decorations can add glory and taste to even the most exquisitely designed house and room. Here are some Indian handicrafts that are used as home decorations.

Toy Boxes Furniture
Indian clay pots are something that adds to the rustic and antique identity of a room and the entire house. There are several designs and styles that one can look for if they wish to buy Indian handicrafts like pots and pottery. Of course, because the pots are made of clay, you would have to be extra careful when it comes to transporting them from wherever you are buying them from to your home.
Wooden Painted Toys:
Wooden painted toys may be one of the oldest types of toys that children played with. Wooden toys have been unearthed from ancient ruins like the Harappa and the Mohenjodaro, ruins of one of the oldest civilisations in Asia. You can now hark back to these quaint toys with the several types of wooden painted toys that are available in the market today. Famous designs are elephants, horses, female and male villagers, etc.
Wooden Coin Boxes:
Ancient Indian civilization considered money to be sacred, and even today, they revere the Goddess Laxmi as the Goddess of Wealth. The Goddess of wealth is prayed to every year during the festival of Diwali. In the same manner, money was stored and secured with great care and security in money boxes. These money boxes were not only security for the money, but they were also living art forms that were used in the everyday life. Today, there are several copies and imitations of coin and money boxes which you can use as decorations for your house.
These are just the three most commonly found Indian artefacts and wooden furniture that you can use to decorate your house.
