THE ROLE OF TRADITIONAL HANDICRAFTS IN MODERN HOME DECOR TRENDS

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a noticeable resurgence of interest in traditional handicrafts within the realm of modern home décor. As consumers increasingly seek personalized, sustainable, and culturally rich design elements, traditional crafts have found renewed relevance. This paper explores how handcrafted items—ranging from textiles and ceramics to woodwork and metal art—are being integrated into contemporary interior design. It highlights the aesthetic and emotional value these crafts bring, as well as their role in supporting local artisans and preserving cultural heritage. The study also examines the fusion of traditional techniques with modern design principles, illustrating a shift towards more conscious and meaningful consumption patterns in the décor industry.
