Kilim Love


Big Kilim Fever going on here, I just love Kilims, the colors the work put in to them, the motives, they are all just beautiful.
Unfortunately time can be rough on them and we had another Kilim which had some holes making it not suitable as a floor cover, but perfect as materials for some bohemian bags.



I use very strong (upcycled) leather for the tops, bottoms and straps.


And Turkmenistan charms for the additional bohemian touch.
They have flairs of history, travel, exoticism and free spirit :)



I also added another beautiful vintage Kilim in the StarHomeStudio shop which has gorgeous vibrant colors and beautiful geometric motives.


 Here are some great looks to show how beautiful Kilims make a space, a boring room becomes very colorful with just one pretty tapestry.

They are perfect for in the hallway...

But also in less obvious places like the bathroom.

And beside looking good on the floor they also make great accents on the wall like above the bed!
