Hey friends! Nicole here. I just got back from a long, amazing trip including a visit to Istanbul! Though Istanbul is a sprawling metropolis, it had a lovely, quaint quality. It was plumb full of inspiration and the interiors did not disappoint. Whenever I get back from a trip, I always immediately want to incorporate something from my travels into my home- it helps with the post-adventure blues…and greens and pinks ;) So here’s how I’d bring some of the Turkish flair into my home:
(above) 1. Make a room fit for a Sultan and incorporate vibrant, patterned tile and a low, velvet sofa into your lounge area.
2. An Ottoman interior is naked without a bit of gold trim; don’t be afraid to add some sparkle, and help those plants grow all up and around your walls with a few nails to hold up the sprawling vines.
3. Bring the outside in- this breakfast area had an indoor tree and colorful vintage glass paintings hanging on a rough stone wall.
4. Traditional Turkish bathrooms are marble with gorgeous raw brass fixtures. I love this scalloped pedestal sink! While you may not be able to add a marble sink to your home, brass hardware is an accessible way add that vibe into your own bathroom.
5. Velvet furniture is a must- often crushed and in bold colors! How great is this pink?!
6. Hang a colourful, woven tapestry on your wall…while adding coral stone walls and arched ceilings to your dream home wishlist.

The bathroom with marble and brass is definitely my favourite one, must have something to do with the fact that I do colour in relatively small doses only – though I don’t mind adding a touch of gold ;-)

Awesome Carole! I’m probably the other way around…colour always, gold not as much ;)

Turkish culture is incredibly beautiful, but the Turkish language can be difficult to master. The complex grammar, syntax, and vocabulary can be challenging for even the most experienced language learners. However, with the help of https://www.translate.com/tamil-english you can overcome these difficulties. Don’t let language barriers hold you back from experiencing the richness of Turkish culture.
