The 10 Best Ceramic Decor Pieces of 2022

While big-ticket items like a chic couch and cozy rug are undoubtedly home design staples, when it comes to adding personality to your space, it’s all about the details. Small, thoughtful touches can do wonders in elevating your aesthetic and showcasing your personal style. But where to begin? Ceramic décor pieces are a stylish starting point.

Ceramic pieces definitely aren’t anything new. The craft has been around for centuries, with homes across both time and oceans featuring stoneware pots, dishes, and other special ceramic touches. But now, the sky’s the limit with modern ceramic pieces. With all sorts of styles, colors, and sizes available, ceramic décor is incredibly versatile and unique with many pieces being handmade and one-of-a-kind.

Below, the best ceramic décor to complement your home's style.

Who knew that ceramic décor could be so sensual? Handcrafted from stoneware clay, this beige, 6.5-inch tall ceramic vase features the female figure painted in a gorgeous terracotta hue. While the outside of the vase is left unglazed to show off the texture and feel of the raw clay, the interior boasts a layer of clear glaze so it can hold florals without leaking water. And with every piece being handmade, each one is different with their own unique, beautiful imperfections.

Textures are one of those details that can instantly elevate a ceramic piece and make it totally unique. Just take this Pottery Barn piece for example. Sitting pretty on a pinewood stand, the handmade ceramic planter boasts a beautifully scalloped texture, which lends it a bohemian vibe we just love.

Crafted with materials that are phthalate, BPA, and lead-free, it’s complete with a white glazed finish and is watertight to prevent any leakage when you water your plants. However, there's no drainage hole, so be careful to not overwater or you risk root rot.

The right ceramic décor can light up any space—in this case, literally. Hanging from the ceiling, this ceramic pendant light will cast a warm glow over a section of your room, thanks to its deeply domed shape. The ceramic’s natural texture takes center stage here and we love its speckled, light terracotta hue.

The light fixture also features rectangular cutouts to cast a bit more light in the near vicinity. We also love the ceramic pendant pull cord so it can easily—and stylishly— be switched on and off.

Consider us obsessed with the unexpected, modern shape of this ceramic bowl. Handmade in Brooklyn, New York, a traditional ceramic coiling technique was used to achieve the design that’s both interesting yet understated.

The terracotta ceramic consists of natural materials and it's totally food safe if you need a new spot for fresh fruit. You can even line the bottom of the bowl with a dish or tea towel to instantly repurpose it as a bread basket.

The classic candelabra just got a modern makeover. Another piece that’s designed and handcrafted in Brooklyn, this stoneware candelabra will bring all the minimalist, trendy vibes to your mantelpiece, side table, or dinner table.

We love the curvy, waved shape of the ceramic and its matte white hue will serve as the perfect canvas for colorful candles. (You can of course stick to white or black tapers if you want to keep with the minimalist aesthetic!)
