Hey everyone,
I’m in the early stages of building a brand in India and before I spend money on inventory, I’d really appreciate some honest opinions.
The idea isn’t just another home décor brand. I’m thinking of positioning it as an art-led collectible objects brand that makes bold, conversation-starting pieces.
Some examples of the kind of products I’m considering are attached. They include embellished frames, rhinestone artwork, sculptural décor, collectible objects and eventually accessories and other unexpected pieces.
The idea is that people shouldn’t buy these because they need them. They buy them because they instantly make them smile, start conversations, or feel like something they haven’t seen before.
I’d love your honest thoughts on a few questions:

- What would you actually call a brand like this?
Home décor?
Art?
Collectibles?
Lifestyle?
Something else?
- Is there genuinely a market for products like these, or does this feel too niche?

- What price range would you expect for pieces like these?
(Not what you’d want to pay, but what you’d realistically expect.)

Please don’t hold back. I’d rather hear something now than after I’ve invested months building it.
Thanks!

Okay so for the past few months I’ve been going back and forth on a business idea and I genuinely don’t know if it’s a good idea or if I just spend too much time on Pinterest.
I’ve always loved making things. Customizing stuff, decorating stuff, upcycling things etc

Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of these disco ball mirrors, jeweled frames, funky wall art, customized decor pieces, bedazzled objects etc. and I honestly love them.

The thing is, I can’t figure out if people actually BUY these things or if everyone just saves them to Pinterest boards and moves on.

I was thinking of starting small and making things like:
Decorated mirrors
Frames
Wall art
Funky gifting items
Rhinestone/disco decor
Weird statement pieces that make people go “okay that’s ridiculous but I kinda want it”
I’ve attached some inspo.

A few questions:
Would you actually spend money on stuff like this?
Who is the target audience for this?
Is this something that stays a small niche business forever?
What would make something like this feel premium and not like a school art project?
Would you buy custom pieces or only ready-made ones?
If you saw this on Instagram, would you follow the page?

Also if anyone here runs a decor/gifting business, I’d love to know what the reality is like because social media makes every small business look successful and I’m sure that’s not actually true.
Be honest. I’m at the stage where I’m trying to figure out whether this is a real business idea or just a hobby that looks cute online.
