It's not every day that you get an email from the plant-based chef Bettina Campolucci Bordi asking for your Pink Shibori Table Runner
Bettina is deeply committed to sustainability and works as a recipe consultant, having written three cookbooks. She also contributes to Country & Townhouse Magazine.
Bettina's London home was hosting a series of exclusive supper clubs. Each event will have ten high-profile client guests in attendance, and she wants to create the most encapsulating and memorable tablescape for them using TerraKlay product.

She says "Unique, made in small batches and absolutely gorgeous! People seem to be taking pleasure in setting their tables for dinner in increasing elaborate fashions, thinking about colour schemes, styling details and investing in accessories such as napkins, candles and vases! Of course, it makes sense to lay your table with appropriate utensils and to create atmosphere if you're hosting, but this is more than that, it's an opportunity to be creative. Dare I say it, it feels like art!"
Spring has a rejuvenating quality to it. Following months of cold and gloomy weather, many people feel compelled to spruce up their kitchens and welcome the spirit of the new season. However, it may be difficult to know where to begin when reorganizing your kitchen. That is why we are here today to try to help you refresh your spring kitchen décor on a budget without adding to the mess!
If you want to refresh your kitchen without making major changes, here are a few simple ideas for home decor that might help you enjoy your kitchen inside and out.
Investing in high-quality, aesthetically pleasing kitchen tools, such as utensils, pitchers, mugs, or jars, is one of the best and easiest ways to decorate a kitchen for any season. This serves three functions: it adds character and warmth to the kitchen while also allowing you to reduce clutter at the workstation, saving money and giving the impression of a minimalistic home decor.
When shopping for cutting boards, utensils, coffee mugs, towels, jars, pitchers, or even paper towel holders, look for those that can serve two functions. We have some great tumbler mugs and kitchen towel sets at TerraKlay that can add a unique touch to the overall appearance of your kitchen and have multiple functions, making it versatile.
Since spring has arrived, what could be more appropriate for decorating than some brightly colored flowers? I know it's not groundbreaking, but adding flowers is one of the simplest and cheapest ways to improve the look of your kitchen and add a refreshing vibe throughout the room. People are often drawn to living plants in the home. Nothing beats a bouquet of lilies or tulips, a live plant, to herald the arrival of spring. A quick and easy way to complete your spring kitchen decor is to add blooms or greenery.
If you've been looking for a great modern planter, look no further because we have some lovely eco-friendly banana fibre planters.
Incorporate elements in your kitchen that add character to the overall aesthetics. My grandmother's mortar and pestle, a vintage wood bowl, brass rice containers, and traditional utensils are my go-to pieces. Dig out your grandmother's kitchen pieces with a bit of character, as these add a touch of warmth to the space without feeling too formal. They blend in seamlessly with the kitchen because it's only natural for them to be there!
If your dining table is in your kitchen, it is preferable to add some texture. Table runners can help you with this while also adding style and decor. TerraKlay has some elegant table runners that can add style to your otherwise boring kitchen table. Here too, don't forget to add some flowers to liven up your lunches and dinners.
In unimaginable ways, a basket can improve the ambience of your space. You can come up with creative ways to use baskets in your home decor. A basket is one of the most beautiful and versatile home decor ideas that will always enhance the beauty of your living space. They can also be a great help in organizing your craft supplies and garden tools or help carry your picnic lunch to the park.
Having these fiber baskets in your home not only adds panache and aesthetics to the ambiance of your house but also brings nature and cultural values to its overall appearance.
TerraKlay fiber baskets come from nature and are handmade by the local women in South India, providing them with better income opportunities while protecting the region's natural ecology. The fiber used to crochet this product is locally available and made from "dead" banana tree leaves. These previously discarded leaves then find a new life in contemporary and sustainable design and production, which are then intertwined to make different thickness ropes. Women then hand crochet and weave those ropes to create these eco-friendly artisanal storage baskets.
When paired with a cool idea, these functional baskets bring out the ambiance of the house. So let's not wait any further and look at the helpful ways to incorporate basket decor ideas into your home.
Organize Your Bathroom -
TerraKlay's natural banana fiber baskets are visually appealing enough to capture the viewer's attention in seconds. If you have a large bathroom with a bathtub, the round basket in different sizes can help you keep everything organized. Furthermore, you can use it as a laundry basket to store paper rolls, cloth napkins, face or skincare products, or those furry slippers you love slipping into after a bath.
Storage You Won't Want to Hide -
As organizers, standard options include storage bins. TerraKlay's rectangle banana fiber basket can be used to store firewood around the fireplace or even organize blankets during the chilly months. You can also use it to store coffee table books, photo albums, or magazines next to your sofa. It will help you make better use of your space while also enhancing your decor.
Plant Your Kitchen-Garden -
Using baskets as planters is a great, one-of-a-kind way to add texture and charm to your garden or indoor living spaces. TerraKlay’s natural fiber baskets can also be used as planters for indoor and outdoor use.
Keep Your Counters Clean -
Arranging a kitchen counter can be a daunting task for most of us, but once completed, we feel much more accomplished. Yes, we have a basket to organize those random spices and oils. You can also use the basket to store all of your kitchen towel sets and other kitchen textiles. A shallow tray basket is ideal for organizing table candles, pens, and other valuable silverware.
Experimenting with a basket may sound exciting, but the main goal when using it in your living space should be to keep it simple and useful. TerraKlay.com is a great place to look for more natural fiber home accessories, such as coasters and placemats for the kitchen and tabletop.
“The armed insurgency that broke out in 1989 has had a devastating effect on the normal life of people living in Kashmir. The number of orphans in Kashmir mushroomed dramatically . . . tens of thousands of people have been killed, and an estimated 10,000 disappeared during the past 25 years of the armed rebellion. . . .”

Terra Klay is partnering this month with Uma Vaiyapuri and Vineeta Santoshi of Chutney Devis to share with you easy meals that can be prepared in Terra Klay all clay cookwares.
Was invited to talk on Worldview yesterday to catch up after a year, on the progress of Terra Klay.
If I look back and reflect on all that went right and wrong there are many lessons learnt.
However one thing I am sure that the universe did guide me in the right direction. I love what I do and would not trade it.
