Living with Art: A Collector's Home Layered in Textile Poetry

Theatrical Dining with Scarlet Florals

In the second image, opulence meets nostalgia. The drama begins with a bold mid-century floral tapestry—Bessarabian in origin—whose scarlet blooms and sage foliage bloom beneath the dining set like a painted garden. To its left, a flat-woven rug with tribal "star" motifs peeks out, layered with purpose and flair. It's a deliberate contrast: one rug rich and romantic, the other raw and rhythmic. Paired with period wood furniture and a surrounding constellation of curated objects, the room feels like an interior portrait from a different era—deeply personal, eternally stylish.

A Grand Salon of Neutrals and Notes

The third space unfolds with elegance under navy-paneled walls and a crystal chandelier. A duet of Turkish kilims—the first in gentle neutral diamonds, the second in rustic earth tones—form a base of quiet complexity. Together, they introduce subtle movement and memory beneath a vintage piano and salon-style seating. The handcrafted kilim bench in muted reds and creams nestles beside a handwoven striped pillow in red, black, and ivory, layering the room with tactile richness. The effect is that of a collector's parlor—equal parts music room, reading lounge, and timeless escape.

A Reframed View in Modern Heritage

The fourth photo reimagines the first nook, this time revealing more of the rugs' dialogue. The contemporary rug in gold and green now shares space with a second rug—this one an ethnic flat-weave from the 1950s, bearing a galaxy of Anatolian "star" motifs. The pairing is unexpected yet symphonic. Each piece holds its own, while together they build visual depth and narrative continuity. This is what living with art looks like: functional, beautiful, and intimately personal.

A Corridor of Color and Craft

A moment of bold geometry unfolds in the kitchen's hallway—an unexpected gallery of motion and chroma. Here, a multicolored mid-century rug from Denizli stretches confidently beneath polished chrome barstools and soft daylight. Its rhythmic zigzag of vermilion, teal, ochre, and obsidian is both kinetic and grounding, transforming the transitional space into a vibrant passage of pattern and provenance. Just beyond, echoes of the same design language appear in the adjoining nook, revealing the collector's eye not just for individual pieces, but for a home composed like a well-curated symphony—each rug a stanza, each room a refrain.
