Decorating with Iranian handmade crafts
Editorial team · updated 2026-10-03
Principles
- Start with one anchor piece — usually a rug
- Repeat two or three colours from it
- Mix textures: wool, silk, ceramic, wood
- Give fragile textiles low-light walls
Displaying safely
Hang textiles on Velcro or sleeve systems, never pins; keep ceramics away from shelves that vibrate.
