Which Ceramic Objects for My Interior?

Handmade and artisanal design are very popular. It is therefore natural that ceramics are making a big comeback in our interiors. A solid, durable, and elegant material, it finds its place everywhere in the home.

Terracotta, porcelain, stoneware, earthenware

Ceramics are trendy! Decor enthusiasts love this material, which can be porous (terracotta and earthenware) or vitrified (stoneware and porcelain). It offers a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns. By observing your home, you will surely see such objects in your cupboards or on your shelves, or even on your walls or floors.

A resistant and elegant material

Known since prehistoric times, ceramic has interesting properties. It is naturally porous, very hard (like diamond!), resistant to high temperatures and chemicals, does not freeze, and keeps its brand-new look despite the passage of time. The only drawback is that it can break upon impact, so you have to take care of it.

A return to basics

Gone are the days of mass-produced objects found everywhere. The trend is for “handmade” items that highlight small imperfections. You can find these treasures in artist studios and the tableware departments of large stores. Be careful not to confuse every ceramic mug with an artisan's work! This material can also be mass-produced and, therefore, be more affordable.

Objects to suit every interior

Teapots, pitchers, dinnerware, flower pots, vases, trays, candle holders, sculptures, art objects, tiles… Ceramics blend into all areas of the home. It is a noble and elegant material, so you need to know how to harmonize it with your interior. If your walls are light and minimalist, opt for raw pieces or pieces with shimmering patterns. If your walls are colorful or busy, choose simpler or more neutral pieces.

An object that reflects you

Ceramic is an authentic material. Follow your heart! Don't look for “THE” piece seen in a magazine to imitate a style that doesn't suit you. Let yourself be guided by your desires. Buy an object that reflects you or that tells a story about you.
