How Zen Designs Arts & Crafts Transforms Spaces into Sanctuaries
In today’s busy and often overwhelming world, our living spaces are more important than ever. They’re not just places to exist—they’re places to reset, recharge, and reconnect with ourselves. This is the foundation of interior therapy—a mindful approach to decorating that nurtures emotional well-being through intentional design and soul-centered surroundings. And at the heart of this movement is Zen Designs Arts & Crafts, a brand built on purpose, passion, and cultural preservation
Zen Designs Arts & Crafts began during the pandemic, when founder Ruth rediscovered the calming, joyful rhythm of creating by hand. What started as a personal escape evolved into a powerful mission: to empower artisans, honor handmade traditions, and offer décor that brings healing energy into the home. With encouragement from friends and growing support, the brand was born—rooted in the belief that what we place in our homes should feed the spirit, not just fill a space.
Handmade Calm, Woven with Meaning
Originally known for its vibrant, handwoven African baskets—like the colorful Senegalese bowls and lidded shelf baskets—Zen Designs Arts & Crafts has expanded to celebrate local handicrafts from all around the world. Today, its growing collection includes Kenyan raffia bowls, Ugandan Toro bowls, flat wall mats, Tonga wall baskets, woven sisal vases, raffia wall plates, and raffia beauty sets, among many others.
Each piece is more than functional—it’s therapeutic. Whether you’re organizing your space with a woven storage hamper or basket trio, accenting your wall with textured mats and plates, or creating a mindful corner with handcrafted trinkets and vases, these designs help bring clarity, calm, and cultural richness into your environment.
Unlike mass-produced décor, these items are handcrafted with purpose. Every weave, carve, and brushstroke reflects tradition, patience, and the spirit of the artisan. Their textures invite touch, their colors create mood, and their presence transforms a room into a place that feels alive and centered.
Healing through Intention
Zen Designs Arts & Crafts believes that decorating your space should be a form of self-care. Choosing handmade, ethically sourced pieces isn’t just a style choice—it’s a conscious step toward creating a sanctuary that aligns with your values.
Interior therapy is about choosing what feels good, what tells a story, and what brings harmony. A Senegalese tray in the dining room might spark conversation and joy. A sisal organizer in the entryway might reduce clutter and add texture. Even the smallest trinket bowl on a nightstand can become part of a daily ritual of mindfulness.
