Most of the components of the humble coconut palm (Cocos nucifera Linn) can be utilized as a raw material for creating some of the more eye-catching indoor and outdoor decorations you’ll ever see.

The shell alone can be the source of a multitude of household items such as trinkets, soup bowls, ladles, buttons, and various other handicraft items.

The leaves can be used to make an array of products for furnishing and decorating as well. They also provide material for baskets, trays, fans, and can be woven into mats.

Lumber and other wood products are sourced from the trunk which can be used to make beautiful furniture like sofa sets, dining tables, garden sets, etc.

Coconut timber applications in specialized construction is uniquely tropical, as wonderfully demonstrated in the Coconut Palace of Manila.

Now a museum, the 101 chandeliers of the palace are made of coconut and the dining table is inlaid with 40,000 pieces of coconut shells. It’s a perpetual showcase to celebrate the coconut palm as The Tree of Life and the viability of its parts for export.

Other decorative arts and crafts that benefit from the coconut's usefulness are rug making, weaving, cabinet making, carpentry, chip carving, pottery, sculpture, woodworking, and many others.
