Do you get bored of seeing and using the same things day after day? You can find no plausible excuse to trade them and they haven’t exhausted their utility, yet you wish you could do away with them. At least for a while, if not completely. I’m guilty of hoarding for sentimental, reserve, and practical reasons but can still never have enough of anything. Home décor and kitchen décor items top this list (ok, after my wardrobe but that doesn’t count!). Put the tableware in my crockery unit and the numerous stashed boxes together and I could probably feed a small army!
Decorating your home is always a wonderful feeling and when it’s your personal space it becomes even more special. The other day I was looking online for new frames and planters to spruce up my study on this website called Exclusivelane. I have shopped with them earlier and knew that their home décor collection is amazing. While the job at hand was done within a few minutes, I digressed to their kitchen collection and sure enough, I was hooked.
Serveware including platters, dinner plates and bowls to beautiful metal cutlery, storage containers, coasters, coffee mugs and lots more caught my attention right away. Colourful hand-painted designs in Moroccan, Warli, and Mughal art to old-fashioned Ceramic pickle jars, and wooden salt and pepper shakers, there’s a lot to pander to your eclectic taste. However, my eyes were instantly set on something else.
I’m a chai lover and anyone worth their teacup would know how kulhad wali chai is our sinful indulgence. Ask us our fondest chai memory and it would invariably involve a roadside tea-stall, rains, and chai served in mitti wale kulhad. While the best cuppa at home can never bring the same taste or feeling, I found the perfect way to meet that memory halfway. What’s more, it is a gorgeous addition to my home décor and has ogle-worthy elegance to it.
These beautiful handcrafted ‘Daawat-e-Taj’ kulhads are part of a collection inspired by the Taj Mahal. They have motifs of Taj Mahal and portraits of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal amidst beautiful floral art representing the lush green gardens surrounding it. Just like the monument, the exquisite pieces in this collection against a white backdrop depict the symbol of love it stands for. Don’t they make you fall in love with them at first sight?
They’re dishwasher and microwave safe which makes them a preferred option in our sophisticated kitchens. Also, the print won’t fade away with use either. Wouldn’t they make the perfect housewarming gift or be the next talking point of your kitty?
My next pick was something that would most certainly be the centerpiece of my Mom’s kitchen. A handcrafted square spice box, Nine Blends, made with sheesham wood, complete with a glass lid for convenience and a wooden spoon. A classy ‘masala dabba’ if you will, it lends a certain richness to your kitchen with its lovely natural brown wood and delicate finish. From everyday stuff to spice storage, it can be used to store, preserve or flaunt. Not necessarily in that order.
There are other attractive designs in this collection that you can check out for yourself. If nostalgia had a face, this spice box would come close to it, wouldn’t it? Love for grace and the lingering fragrance of homemade food is lovingly fused in it. I can possibly use it for home décor and serve mukhwaas in it as well, right? Nothing like turning others green with envy and smiling while they’re at it!
Every small thing that makes our home a home gives an insight into our personality and taste. People strive to display their travel memoirs and collectibles in style to subtly give themselves away. The home décor items on Exclusivelane blend ethnic art with modern technology to make our home and life prettier than before. Check it out for yourself and thank me later.

I have also admired the collections at Exclusive Lane. Indeed their collections are wonderful.
I am quite enjoying exploring all Exclusive Lane has to offer. Thanks for sharing about it. Those kulhads look really interesting. Quite a name too. Stoneware would mean they would be a bit heavy though. Was expecting them to be clay.
I love the kulhads you have posted. I am checking out the online shop of Exclusivelane. I love shopping for kitchen items and unique home decorative pieces and I am sure I will find it out there. Thanks for the recommendation.

I always like picking up unique home decor items. I checked Exclusive Lane and really like their collection. I will surely be buying something from them when I am looking for gift items.
Ceramic mugs with inspired by pictures of Tajmahal I think it would be perfect for wedding gifts. And the wooden spice box it always has my heart. Have decided to buy the spice box already.
I am a chai lover and the kulhads available at Exclusive Lane look amazingly beautiful to not have. The masala box for once I thought was a watch/jewelry organiser, such beautiful products that have such finesse. The site surely needs to be checked by me.
Home decor is one thing I’ve grew-up with as my mom is an avid fan of keeping our home with great decor. Appreciate you sharing ExclusiveLane where we can find great stuff for home decor. For me, decorating your home is an extension of your personality. It’s a great way to express who you are and how you want to live your life.
“ Colourful hand-painted designs in Moroccan, Warli, and Mughal art to old-fashioned Ceramic pickle jars…” I am guessing the place is full of eye candy.

I’ve loved their collections in the past but this tea cup is definitely a piece of art not to be missed. Will check
ExclusiveLane has been my one stop destination when it comes to gifting elegant pieces that add color and uniqueness in your kitchen. Having purchased a lot of stuff for my kitchen too, I can vouch for these artisanal products that are hand-made and authentic. The newest kullhad collection seems to be very beautiful. Shall get them the next time I am in India. Also, I love that masala dabba!
I love kitchenware so much, really liked the kulhad as it adds beauty yet style and connection in my kitchen. Thanks for sharing this.
Exclusive Lane seems to have a lovely collection. I will check it out.
