Enter Chokhat, where animal-inspired home decor finally gets the grown-up, aesthetic, and proudly desi glow-up it deserves.

From honeybee inspired fruit baskets to peacock inspired trivets, these pieces don’t just sit pretty, they do the job and bring personality to your space. Whether you’re a renter decorating your first apartment or someone curating their dream home, these picks add warmth, charm, and just the right amount of quirky.

Bhavra Fruit Basket

This honeybee-inspired stunner is not your basic fruit bowl. It’s sleek, sturdy, and basically makes your mangoes look like they belong in a magazine. Pop it on your kitchen counter or dining table and let the compliments roll in. Bonus: it works great during brunches.

Bulbul Spoon Stand

Raise your hand if you’ve ever placed a hot spoon directly on the kitchen counter and instantly regretted it. This one’s your saviour. The Bulbul stand not only keeps things clean but adds a sweet little design moment to your kitchen. Plus, it makes your daily dal-chawal routine feel a little fancier.

Mor Trivet

This isn’t just a trivet, it’s a conversation piece. With bold peacock detailing, the Mor Trivet brings traditional Indian flair to even your most casual mealtime setups. Use it under serving bowls, tiffins, or your late-night Maggi bowl. It’s extra without being too extra.

Sahara Platter

Entertaining guests or just carrying chai and biscuits to the living room? The Sahara Platter has your back. With its detailed elephant silhouette, it’s got royal energy, perfect for festivals, house parties, or just flexing your hosting skills.

Pashu Wall Hooks

Forget boring plastic hooks. These animal-shaped aluminum wall hooks bring in function and flair. Strong enough to hold your keys, scarves, or even jholas, cute enough to make your entryway feel styled, not cluttered.

Animal Candle Holders

Why settle for plain candle stands when you can have ones shaped like your favourite creatures? These candle holders add a soft, glowy touch to mandir shelves, corner tables, or cozy dinners at home. They make even the simplest space feel a little more magical.

Madhuban Tissue Holder

Tissue holders are underrated, until you find one that actually matches your vibe. With its Indian-inspired detailing, this one looks just as good in your puja room as it does on the guest room nightstand.

Final Thoughts

Animal-themed decor doesn’t have to be childish or over-the-top. With the right design and materials, it becomes meaningful, playful, and 100% grown-up (while still making your mom go “aww”).

So whether you’re decorating a 1BHK in Mumbai or setting up your dream kitchen in Bengaluru, these pieces from @Chokhat bring in the charm of Indian tradition with the style of modern homes.
