1

If, despite the crisis, you decide to rest forborder, it is worthwhile to be puzzled in advance with what country to take from which country as a decor for the house, so that later not to be disappointed, but on the contrary, to be proud of what was brought. Our advice to help you The thirst for adventure lives in every person, which is why we are so drawn to travel, to get acquainted with unknown countries and foreign cultures. Returning from another trip, I want not only to preserve my impressions, but also to bring something meaningful and bright with me. And in order for this thing not to gather dust in the closet, but to harmoniously decorate your interior, you should approach the purchase issue competently. Therefore, we have prepared for you a selection of decor elements and places from where it is best to bring them. Stepan Bugaev, interior designer - A rare person does not like to travel! In each country we learn something new about culture, life and, of course, interiors. If you know exactly what you need in other countries, you can buy some really wonderful pieces of decoration and decor. 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 produced in China, and the price will be much higher than in the country of origin. 1. French Chandeliers Arrived in Paris? Then we advise you to go to explore the famous flea markets and immerse yourself in the magical twinkling of crystal chandeliers. Yes, you can find stunning antique chandeliers all over Europe (especially Italy), but France is where the most exquisite handcrafted masterpieces in silver, gold and crystal are created. After all, a chandelier is a French word, and it's not without reason that designers from all over the world go there in search of treasures. Do not forget to look at the most famous and huge market - Saint-Ouen, from which, in fact, the name "flea" has gone. Stepan Bugaev, interior designer: - When purchasing decor items and furniture abroad, do not forget about the logistics of your purchases back home. If you buy large-sized items made of fragile material, we advise you not to save money on the transport company that will deliver, so that all your efforts and delight are not overshadowed by broken tiles or a chandelier. 2.Moroccan tiles Moroccan-style interiors will give your home a spicy touch of the East and bright, rich colors. Now on the market of finishing materials there are many manufacturers of Moroccan tiles of excellent quality from different countries: Italy, Portugal, Spain. But the very realization that you have chosen a tile for a panel in Morocco itself will add a special charm to your interior. Stepan Bugaev, interior designer: - Moroccan tiles are the result of the work of masters with a long history. A panel of such tiles will help you create an extraordinary, unlike anything interior. The tile is created by craftsmen by hand, it is a complex technological process, with hand painting, so the use of such tiles in the interior is not a cheap pleasure. Tiles come in different sizes and shapes: squares, pentagons, hexagons. It can be put 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 selected interior, it will look truly organic. 3.Moroccan wedding bedspreads Not only beautiful tiles can be brought from Morocco. Ethnic textiles continue to be hugely popular in modern interiors. Handira Moroccan wedding bedspreads made of sheep wool, cotton or linen, embroidered with sequins, were no exception. They are made exclusively by hand, and each such blanket is unique, so it is not surprising that the price can be more than one thousand dollars. Our opinion: - Thanks to their neutral colors and geometric patterns, Moroccan bedspreads will perfectly fit into modern interiors, while sequins and textures add an exotic yet glamorous touch. Look for them in the markets and of course don't forget to bargain. 4.Textiles from Istanbul Turkish fabrics have always been renowned for their quality, luxury and variety. Decor elements made from these fabrics can hardly be confused with any others. Stepan Bugaev, interior designer: - Turkey is a country with a special flavor, therefore 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 a fabric without an ethnic motive, since Turkish factories produce fabrics for any color, taste and style. You can sew anything from a huge assortment of Turkish fabrics: from curtains and tablecloths to bedspreads, decorative pillows and even bed linen. With the help of fabrics from one collection, you can create a whole, harmoniously folded composition, consisting of different textile decor items. five.Cameroon hats JuJu Africa is a rather exotic place from where you can bring equally exotic decor elements for your interior. If you are lucky enough to visit Cameroon, bring from there one or several Cameroon hats with the funny name JuJu Hats, painstakingly created from bird feathers. Traditionally, they are worn as headwear 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 the photographs of stylish foreign interiors, because now it is one of the brightest, fashion trends in the design world. Decorate with them an empty wall or any horizontal surface (for example, a coffee table), JuJu Hats will look like delicate blooming chrysanthemums. By the way, you can buy them in Russia as well. pinterest.com, Nadia Zotova, live-less-ordinary.com, Peter Corcoran
