How to Decorate with an Oriental Rug

Given the emergence of tile increasingly sophisticated, durable and easy installation and economy, the traditional carpet is being relegated. Something that is a shame, because the rugs have attractive smooth surfaces, bright and have anonymous, even to facilitate cleaning of the home: its embroidered motifs. A source to operate, which speaks of the inner life and desires of the inhabitants of the house

One of the richest tissues in this regard is that of oriental rugs.

Intricate, colorful, mineral texture, rich in memories and suggestions, based on oriental carpets remind us immediately to the sumptuous and sensual atmosphere of the Thousand and One Nights, condensed with iconography microcosm Turkish, Chinese, Indian, Persian …

Oriental rugs add to the whole pictorial world environments, we should not underestimate as an alternative.

How can we integrate an Oriental rug to a room and make space character?

1. Neutrality and solid colors

The richness of the reasons for an Oriental rug (intricate, rich, colorful) are bright enough to quell any other reason or pattern, and it is best to combine this rich paintings with soft colors, solid, smooth surfaces, not to risk a sense of variegation.

2. Color Connection

For the Oriental rug is not detached from the rest of the decor is a good measure to use colors like red, gold, green, present in the fabric of the carpet, and that connect with fabrics, furniture and accessories.

3. Ethnicity

Another alternative, which also allow us to develop an eclectic, is to add the rug to an ethnic style furniture from diverse alien, with natural and manufactured materials, rich textures and sumptuous grounds. Why not?

Ethnic Decoration

The ethnic decor is the best option for a exotic setting, since it mixes different elements from different cultures, to obtain a very original idea.

The places where we can locate ethnic objects are spaces like the kitchen, dining room and, very carefully against the excess of these accessories in the bedroom.

To achieve this style, the colors of the elements used must be located in the range of brown, green, yellow and orange, ie predominant colors in the wild and pristine environments, take us back to places inhabited by native civilizations. The wooden masks are a classic African crafts.

Other elements such as wicker furniture, fabrics with special designs, geometric carpets, synthetic fur animals, and vases are essential to make this style. Items can be of various cultures, including African, Asian or Oriental.

Home lighting should be soft and subtle, the lights must be routed to the objects. Candles and lanterns would complete what we are looking for. As for the perfumes you can use incense and candles to create the atmosphere indicated. For walls and floors are used warm colors.

The parts are not hard to find, as in any home decorating costs are achieved not very high.

Sailing Cup

This well may sound strange, but if you look at the picture will certainly provide some relief in case … we will make a candle in the most simple, using the remains of what once was a set of teacups. This certainly is the easiest way is to approach the world of candles … We then make our candle cup.

The materials required are:  taza, paraffin and wick.

Step by step procedure:

The first thing you do is heat the wax until it is ready. Once warm, pour the wax into the cup, put the wick (if we help a better marker), let cool and ready. And we have our candle cup.

To this wing of the picture colors are used, but at home you can use any dye if you want, they can also play with some aromatic essence.

The idea is to exploit the incomplete sets of cups, but the same happens with some games of cups and other household items … candles do everything they encounter!

Office Clocks

There are many ways to make yourself a watch. This I found very original for an office.  The elements are very simple to use:

  • A machine clock, which can be of any clock that we filed on our house.
  • To the numbers we can use the computer keyboard, or other items such as badges, buttons etc, is a little to the imagination.
  • Glue to stick the numbers

To build it we need to place the machine in the center of where we want to build the clock.  Then paste the numbers or in a regular, square, and irregular or casual recdonda as we see in the picture.

This watch can put it on the fourth of our children, in that corner where they put the computer.  If we do for our kids the numbers should be more casual and colorful.

It is a simple craft to make and can change the look of a room or corner of the home or office.

Decorative Pillows

The cushions are ideal for creating welcoming environments, provided it is combined with the decor that sets the style of the space. Can be placed on sofas, beds, chairs and even on the floor, to provide an unstructured style and original. One point in favor of these elements is that they require large investments of money.

Choose color cushions helps to give life to rooms that lack of joy, creating interesting contrasts in the environment. There are cushions traditional, modern, and contemporary, with accents of sequins, prints, stones and embroidery.

Silk cushions are more expensive and luxurious, but they bring a special glow and reflect a healthy dose of light in the room, so they become a decorative element must in many of the homes.
