Swadeshi Style: Decorating Your Videshi Space

Home is where the heart is for many Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) living abroad, who often yearn for elements that remind them of their roots. Despite embracing new cultures and environments, they maintain an irreplaceable connection to their homeland, often reflected in their homes where traditional Indian decor items become treasured symbols of their identity and heritage.

Finding Indian art can be a challenge when living in a foreign country, however, as the holiday season arrives many NRIs return back to our homeland, which provides them a perfect opportunity to shop for Indian art. This blog will suggest five decor items that can help bring a touch of Swadeshi charm to your Videshi space, helping you feel closer to India even when miles away.

The Challenges of Finding Traditional Decor Abroad

Lack of Availability

NRIs face a significant challenge in finding authentic Indian decor items in their new countries. Local markets often fail to capture the true essence and craftsmanship of genuine Indian decor, leaving them feeling disconnected from their cultural roots and struggling to find items that remind them of home.

High Shipping Costs and Delays

Ordering Indian decor items can be challenging due to high shipping costs, long delivery times, and potential damage during transit. These logistical issues can make the simple desire for a beautiful brass diya or traditional painting into a costly and time-consuming endeavour.
