Decorating with Turkey Handicrafts
In recent years as disposability has infiltrated every aspect of the culture there has developed a yearning for things with a more timeless quality: things that exist outside the narrow confines of the here and now, the fashionable or the merely ‘new’. These things are the touchstones of our lives, the things that provide the emotional anchors we all need. This desire for lasting quality has led many to investigate Turkish crafts. Why Turkish? Because Turkey is one of the few remaining countries where the handmade object is still a prized commodity and where the skills necessary to create them are still being passed down from generation to generation.
Enhancing Your Decor with Charming Turkish Handicrafts
Whether you live in an historic Neo-classical house an old Victorian, a mid-century Modern, a bungalow, Mission style home or something aggressively contemporary and minimalist it will benefit from embracing Turkish handicraft elements either as accents or as major players in the overall decor.
Turkish mosaic lamps will bring that warm, homey glow to any house and are particularly effective when used in a setting rich in natural materials like hardwood floors, Persian rugs, sumptuous hand-embroidered cushions and antique wood furnishings. Use them as an area light in the foyer, pendants over the island in the kitchen, table lamps next to the sofa or your favorite recliner or floor lamps to create a focal point. Turkish mosaic lamps are not just for historic homes however. Even the most openly modern home can benefit from using one of these amazing handmade lamps to add just the right amount of color to a space.
