A Guide to Showcase Traditional Art in Modern Homes
Home – a sanctuary where we seek comfort, inspiration and solace. It is also an extension and reflection of our own unique personalities. There is something timeless about a home, but at the same time there exists room for flexibility when it comes to its design. India is a country where there has been a significant transformation in terms of home aesthetics.

There is an infusion of modernity that has found its way into traditional Indian homes, thereby revamping it. As we embrace modern design and more contemporary lifestyles, there is a growing trend that beautifully married the new with the old: incorporating traditional Indian art into modern home décor.

Indian art, with its rich history spanning thousands of years, offers a treasure trove of visual delights. From intricate Madhubani paintings printed on Satin cushion covers to brass engraved Krishna Temple frame, from vibrant dining pieces to a Masterpiece such as  a brass engraved Puja Ganesha with stonework, The Bombay store offers a number of varied selections where traditional Indian art forms bring colour, depth, and cultural significance to any space.

The beauty of traditional art in a modern setting lies in the captivating contrast it creates. Picture a sleek, minimalist living room adorned with a large, ornate Dokra Warli Painting Frame —the juxtaposition is both striking and harmonious. This fusion allows us to honour our cultural heritage while embracing contemporary design sensibilities.

There are many ways to incorporate traditional art into a modern home.

The Bombay Store is renowned for its selection of large, traditional idols and sculptures that can serve as striking focal points in modern homes. Consider featuring a Brass Balaji Sculpture with Black & Gold Finish as a part of your altar or use it as a statement piece in any other part of your home. Another option to consider can be a Whitewood Ambari Elephant with carving as a centerpiece in your living room. These kind of ornate pieces not only add a pop of colour to your space, but also bring in the rich cultural heritage that comes with it. Alternatively, a Brass Wall Hanging Om with Mandala design in Wooden Frame could become a conversation starter in an entryway or study, its intricate details contrasting beautifully with sleek, modern furnishings.

When it comes to creating an eclectic gallery wall which forms the soul of the home, The Bombay Store offers a myriad of diverse offerings. One can mix a traditional Brass Ganesha with Swastik and Om Wall Hanging with modern Indian photography or abstract art pieces. The store offers a variety of sizes and styles, allowing you to create a dynamic, personalised display. You could include a framed Taj Mahal Wood Art alongside contemporary graphic prints inspired by Indian themes. This contrast of old and new creates a visually interesting narrative of India's artistic evolution.

When it comes to the designing a home, functionality plays a key role. There needs to be objects that one can actually utilise. But that doesn’t mean it needs to be dry and lifeless. There can most definitely be an artistic element mingled with mere function. Take for instance our small but useful Mosaic Lamp. It is a captivating piece of functional art that transforms any space with its intricate beauty and warm, dappled light. Crafted from countless small pieces of coloured glass, it is unique. When illuminated, the mosaic pattern comes alive, casting a mesmerising play of light and shadow across the room.

The Bombay Store offers a treasure trove of smaller traditional art objects perfect for accenting modern interiors. The Brass Auto Rickshaw with stonework is a perfect fit to be added to your showcase or book shelf. It speaks of the quintessential and versatile ride preferred by Indians living in the metros.

There is also a need to keep the home purified from any negative vibrations. The Brass singing bowls with leather stick can be utilised to clear out any energies which pull down the overall aura of your home. They are steeped in ancient tradition and spiritual practice, and are remarkable instruments that captivate both the ear and the soul, bringing a calming presence into your home.

By incorporating these ideas and products from The Bombay Store, you can create a home that beautifully balances modern aesthetics with traditional Indian art and craftsmanship.
