Global Style Decorating Tips
- Enhance Your Home with Textiles –India andEthiopia are just a couple of countries who work with local artisans that create handmade textiles. Use them in the kitchen as hand towels or in your living space as pillows.
- Liven Up Your Space with Patterns – Nothing screams global quite like lustrous patterns. Ikat and other exotic prints help enhance the international style stirring up dimension in your space. Go the extra mile with a little (or a ton) of color. Rich blues, greens and oranges are fabulous options.
- Handmade and Reclaimed = Brilliant! – Handmade and reclaimed accents are the perfect accessory for your home. Use them as tabletop accessories to stimulate the room, or as room décor. Reclaimed coffee tables and handmade wall art are some of our favorites.
**Remember, always try to purchase global accents from companies who practice fair trade efforts with local artisans**
