If, despite the crisis, you have decided to take a vacation forborder, it is worth thinking in advance about what from which country to bring as home decor, so as not to be disappointed later, but on the contrary, to be proud of what you brought. Our advice to help you The thirst for adventure lives in every person, that is why we are so drawn to travel, to get to know unknown countries and foreign cultures. Returning from another trip, you want not only to preserve the impressions, but also to bring with you something significant and bright. And in order for this thing not to gather dust in the closet, but harmoniously decorate your interior, you should approach the issue of buying wisely. Therefore, we have prepared for you a selection of decorative elements and the best places to bring them from. Stepan Bugayev, interior designer - Rare is the person who does not like to travel! In each country we learn something new about the culture, life and, of course, interiors. If you clearly know what you need in other countries, you can buy truly wonderful finishing and decorative items. Perhaps the main advantage of interior purchases in another country will be their quality and price. You can buy similar items in Russia, but there is not always a guarantee that they are not made in China, and the price will be much higher than in the country of manufacture. 1. French chandeliers Have you flown to Paris? Then we advise you to go explore the famous flea markets and immerse yourself in the magical shimmer of crystal chandeliers. Yes, you can find stunning antique chandeliers all over Europe (especially in Italy), but France is the place where the most elegant handmade masterpieces of silver, gold and crystal are created. After all, chandelier is a French word, and it is no coincidence that designers from all over the world go there in search of treasures. Do not forget to visit the most famous and huge market - Saint-Ouen, from which, in fact, the name "flea" comes. Stepan Bugayev, interior designer: - When purchasing decorative items and furniture abroad, do not forget about the logistics of your purchases to your home country. If you buy large items made of fragile material, we advise you not to skimp on the transport company that will carry out the delivery, so that all your efforts and delight are not overshadowed by a broken tile or chandelier.
2.Moroccan tiles Moroccan style interior will add a spicy note of the East and bright, rich colors to your home. Currently, there are many manufacturers of excellent quality Moroccan tiles from different countries on the finishing materials market: Italy, Portugal, Spain. But the very realization that you have chosen tiles for a panel in Morocco itself will add a special charm to your interior. Stepan Bugayev, interior designer: - Moroccan tiles are the result of the work of masters with a centuries-old history. Panels made of such tiles will help you create an extraordinary, unique interior. The tiles are created by craftsmen manually, this is a complex technological process, with hand painting, so using such tiles in the interior is not a cheap pleasure. Tiles come in different sizes and shapes: squares, pentagons, hexagons. They can be laid not only in the bathroom, but also in the kitchen as an apron, decorate stairs, floors, balconies and verandas. Even on the living room floor, in a properly chosen interior, it will look truly organic.
3.Moroccan Wedding Bedspreads You can bring back from Morocco not only beautiful tiles. Ethnic textiles continue to be extremely popular in modern interiors. Moroccan wedding bedspreads Handira made of sheep wool, cotton or linen, embroidered with sequins are no exception. They are made exclusively by hand, and each such bedspread is unique, so it is not surprising that the price can be several thousand dollars. Our opinion: - Thanks to their neutral color scheme and geometric patterns, Moroccan bedspreads will fit perfectly into a modern interior, and sequins and texture will add an exotic and at the same time glamorous note. Look for them in the markets and, of course, do not forget to bargain.
4.Textiles from Istanbul Turkish fabrics have always been famous for their quality, luxury and diversity. And decorative elements sewn from these fabrics can hardly be confused with any others. Stepan Bugayev, interior designer: - Turkey is a country with a special flavor, so it is better to choose fabric with an authentic pattern to emphasize the eastern direction of the interior. Of course, if your interior is made in a different style, you can choose fabric without an ethnic motif, fortunately, Turkish factories produce fabrics for any color, taste and style. From a huge assortment of Turkish fabrics, you can sew anything: from curtains and tablecloths to bedspreads, decorative pillows and even bed linen. Using fabrics from one collection, you can create a whole, harmoniously folded composition consisting of different textile decorative items.
5.Cameroonian JuJu Hats Africa is quite an exotic place from where you can bring no less exotic decorative elements for your interior. If you are lucky enough to visit Cameroon, bring back one or several Cameroonian hats with the funny name JuJu Hats, painstakingly created from bird feathers. Traditionally, they are worn as headdresses by the leaders of local African tribes. JuJu hats symbolize beauty, prosperity and wealth. Our opinion: - You have probably already seen such wonderful hats in photographs of stylish foreign interiors, because now this is one of the bright, fashionable trends in the world of design. Decorate an empty wall or any horizontal surface (for example, a coffee table) with them, JuJu Hats will look like delicate blossoming chrysanthemums. By the way, you can also buy them in Russia.
