The Story Behind The Yellow Inkpot
The Yellow Inkpot is an artist-led home decor brand by Saumya Agarwal, where each piece carries stories, emotions, and a quiet sense of beauty into everyday spaces.
Art has always existed quietly in the background of Saumya’s life — not as something separate, but as something deeply woven into everyday moments.From walls filled with handmade paintings to the habit of sketching without intention, creativity was never introduced. It was simply always there.
What exists today as The Yellow Inkpot is a natural extension of that presence — a space where art continues to evolve and find its way into homes, carrying meaning with it.
“Where it all began — and where it continues.”
Our Roots
Art, for Saumya, was never something to be discovered — it was something she grew up within.
In her nani’s home, walls were not just walls. They held paintings made by hand, stories created by her grandmother, her mother, and her masis. Every corner carried a quiet sense of creativity — not curated, not styled, just naturally lived.
There was no moment where art “began.” It existed in the background — in everyday rituals, in small details, in the way spaces felt.
Some of those artworks still remain today — holding not just colour and form, but memory, time, and emotion.
It is from these spaces that The Yellow Inkpot finds its roots — not in trend or design, but in a way of living with art.
“Art that was never collected — only lived with.”
Where It Became Real
For a long time, art remained personal.
A space to return to. A way to understand and express what words couldn’t hold.
Like many students, Saumya’s path briefly moved in a different direction — towards a more conventional academic route. But the disconnect was hard to ignore.
That pull towards creating never left.
But slowly, that space began to expand.
There was a desire to let these pieces move beyond pages and screens — to become part of homes, of everyday life, of the spaces people live and feel in.
The Yellow Inkpot came from that shift.
What started as something deeply personal slowly became something that could be shared — where emotions, memories, and stories take form as art meant to be lived with.
And even today, nothing begins differently.
Every piece still starts the same way —
with a feeling that refuses to stay unexpressed.
Why The Yellow Inkpot
Yellow has always felt like warmth.
It is the colour of sunlight, of marigolds, of quiet familiarity — something soft, something comforting, something deeply ours.
And the inkpot…
It is where stories begin before they are seen.
Where thoughts gather, where ideas rest, where something intangible slowly takes form.
The Yellow Inkpot is that space.
A place where feelings turn into stories, and stories find their way into the spaces we live in.
A Note from the Artist
For me, art has never been just about creating something beautiful.
It has always been a way of understanding, feeling, and holding on to moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
The Yellow Inkpot was never planned as a business.
It grew slowly — from quiet sketches, from memories, from a need to express what words couldn’t always say.
Even today, every piece begins in the same way —
with a feeling, a thought, or a moment that stays with me.
If something I’ve created finds a place in your home,
I hope it brings you a sense of warmth, stillness,
or a quiet kind of familiarity.

Our Philosophy
Art is not only meant to be seen.
It is meant to be felt.
At The Yellow Inkpot, each piece is created with the intention
of bringing a sense of warmth, stillness, and quiet familiarity
into everyday spaces.
In a world that moves quickly, these artworks are an invitation
to pause — to notice, to reflect, to reconnect with moments
that often go unnoticed.
Whether it is the memory of a place, the feeling of a season,
or something more personal and unspoken, each piece carries
a presence that goes beyond the visual.
Because sometimes, what we place on our walls becomes
a part of how a space feels — and, in small ways,
how we feel within it.
