The beauty of using Mexican handcrafts as home-decor accents is that there are no rules; you do not have to struggle to select a specific style.
Having so many decorative elements in the market to choose from, Mexican handcrafts are among the most versatile and spirit filled. They have the ability to transform a simple, dull looking room into a warm, cozy, enjoyable room.
The great variety of materials is one of the aspects that make Mexican handcrafts so popular, not to mention their inexpensive prices. You can combine different materials, colors, shapes and sizes to obtain a desired effect, look, or atmosphere in any room of your home.
You can choose from a black clay pot for the kitchen, to a silk "rebozo" (mexican shawl) to spread on your living room sofa to give it a very personal touch. From a colorful ceramics vase to enjoy the scent of fresh cut flowers in your family room, to a complete set of Talavera tableware to impress your guests.
Some of the most popular Mexican handcrafts are black clay pottery and the famous "Alebrijes" from Oaxaca, clay figures like "Catrinas" and "Skeletons" created to celebrate the "Day of the Dead", masks in different materials, and the Green Pineapple Pottery from Michoacán, the fabulous Talavera sinks, tiles and tableware from Puebla, Mexican themed oil paintings, religious and folk art, etc.
The options are limitless, as are styles, materials, shapes, colors, and prices. Mexican handcrafts are a great resource to help you decorate your home with great taste and a low budget.
