Bokhara rugs for sale are a type of handmade Pakistani rug; also known as Bokhara's or Bokhara. Most are based on Turkmen prototypes called Tekkes. Pakistani Bokhara rugs are among the most popular handmade rugs in the world. Pakistani rugs are typically made from wool or cotton, and they come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. These online pakistani rugs for sale often incorporate Persian, Turkish, and Caucasian design elements, which results in a unique and beautiful blend of styles.

BET ON TIMELESS

The years pass, but do not seem to have any influence on certain furniture and decorative elements. You know, those decorative objects and furniture that you used to see at your grandparents' house and which, today, do not count a wrinkle more.

The famous mushroom lamp and the tulip table are obviously among them. For an out-of-this-world old/modern duo, place this second-hand lamp model on a Scandinavian wooden sideboard with pronounced ribbing. Wow effect guaranteed!

In the timeless category, we also think of old trunks, which you can easily convert into a coffee table, and gilded mirrors, which will enhance your interior with their elegant look. Or even small occasional furniture in walnut or cherry wood, which can be turned into a bedside table in the bedroom, for a retro bedroom without overdoing it.

You will have no trouble marrying these mottled but nevertheless timeless pieces with the rest of your interior decoration. You will also have very little chance of getting tired of them and, where trends pass, they will always remain timeless. They have been for the past decades, so why wouldn't they be for the next 10, 30, 50 years?

CHOOSE ANTIQUE FURNITURE MADE FOR YOU

To each their own retro style! Like antique furniture, vintage furniture adopts a wide variety of styles. A Louis XV desk, a rattan dresser, a wrought iron bed or a worker from the 50s will give your room a completely different style. Before you decide to buy a piece of furniture at a flea market, ask yourself if it looks like you and how well it will transcribe the atmosphere you want to create in your home.

Don't fall into the vintage trap. The accumulation of old pieces would not pay homage to these models from another era, on the contrary, since we would tend to notice them less. They must be chosen with care so that they form, with the new furniture, a coherent whole.

Fans of the Nordic style will opt for a vintage Scandinavian sideboard, while bohemian fans will opt more for light wood furniture dressed in rattan. People looking for a more industrial style will favor antique objects that have been used in factories, artists' studios, etc. A factory cupboard, postal sorting lockers, a workbench, a radio set will add personality to your interior, provided you combine them with recent furniture.

And for a slightly industrial vintage kitchen decor, there's nothing like a copper splash back or subway tiles. Both go wonderfully with the colorful, sleek facades that are extremely trendy at the moment, in the spirit of a revisited retro kitchen.

MIX MATERIALS AND MATERIALS

The mix of materials and materials is a very effective trick to highlight the furniture in your interior, especially if you choose to combine new and vintage. This draws the eye to each piece of furniture rather than seeing them as a whole.

Imagine a dining room with an oak chest of drawers unearthed at flea markets, alongside a solid wood table matching its chairs, with patterned wallpaper in the background. All this furniture is embedded in the mass and no piece stands out from the others. Such a waste! To prevent your precious furniture from going unnoticed, a very simple advice: avoid the total look, the single material.

Small practical case special retro decoration: to enhance an old corduroy armchair, combine it with completely different materials and materials. Accompany it with a plastic side stool, a ribbed glass sideboard, a polished concrete floor and its old-fashioned charm will immediately jump out at you, as will the beauty of the other furniture.
