Our Story:
Where Art Meets Home.

Our Roots: A Mother's Gift

Some brands start in boardrooms, ours began in a quiet garden.

I grew up watching my mother sit with a brush, turning leaves, flowers, and even a passing breeze into art. A single stroke of colour changed an ordinary bowl or corner of our home into something special.
In those moments, I learned that beauty isn’t grand; it’s the gentle care you bring to a space. That same warmth and artistry inspired Aakaara, a way to share the feeling she created for our family with every home.

Aakaara is more than home décor; it’s a hand-painted home-décor brand built on the belief that art belongs in everyday life. Every piece carries the essence of human touch and timeless craft. We work with artisans who share our love for detail, creating pieces that don’t just fill a room; they complete it.

Because a home should hold more than things.
It should hold stories.

Our Vision

To bring timeless, hand-painted art into modern homes, adding beauty, meaning, and a touch of the extraordinary to everyday living.

To preserve the art of hand-painting by giving artisans a platform to showcase their craft, and to bring their timeless creations into the heart of every home.

Our Mission

Our Philosophy

Aakaara: Shape and Form

The name 'aakaara' is deeply rooted in our brand's design philosophy. The word 'Aakaar' (आकार) in Hindi translates to 'shape' or 'form.' It reflects our exploration of diverse shapes and artistic forms, hand-painted across timeless materials. The suffix '-ra' is added to bring a sense of uniqueness and rhythm to the name, making it memorable and distinctive.
