SPRING READY HOME DECOR

We have been longing for spring for a long time now, Istanbul was colder than ever this winter! Snow, wind, cold.. Although it makes the winter so cozy now we are ready for spring colors!

We picked amazing pieces for the spring to splash colors and brighten the rooms.

Lets start with Turkish Ceramic Planters

We were looking forward to receive them! Just what we need for the indoor and outdoor spring decor.  Some exotic small plants and these planters bring the light spring feeling.

The more, the better! Mediterranean coasts might be the most beautiful places during spring. Not too warm, not too cold. Fresh air, streets with full of bougainvilleas and the houses with evil eyes on the walls. This is the typical image of Alacati!

This great setting is from our customer Corinna. We love how her vintage tray and iznik ceramics brighten this room.

Touch of Istanbul!

 These beautiful kilim pillows are handmade by using vinage Turkish Rugs that are around 50-150 years! 

Do not forget to add a little spring on yourself too! This color block Handmade Pashmina is a great option.

NOVEMBER COLORS ON TURKISH CERAMIC POTS AND IKATS

When it comes to Turkish Ceramics, deep colors make great contrast with warm orange and yellow. This November our artisans picked amazing colors for Turkish Ceramics, again. We wanted to introduce these beauties with the texture of our Silk Ikat fabrics.
