Happy Friday loves! Today, I have a very special treat for you. Keep reading…
As a world traveler, I always try to find ways to incorporate tokens and momentos from places I’ve visited into my home décor. This can get tricky since you don’t want to be living in a museum. Nevertheless, back to global decor. One of my absolute favorite ways to achieve that well-traveled aesthetic is to incorporate textiles. And what other than a suzani? It’s a trend, and one that’s here to stay. Suzanis are one of those pieces that can be used in so many different ways all the while keeping things classy. I’m a huge fan! (Keep reading…you’re getting warmer)
Let’s take a look at some inspiration, shall we?
As a bed cover?
Aren’t these chairs just fabulous?
Paneled art in the dining room…
Or as a simply wall art in the bedroom. Move it down a notch, and you’ve got a “makeshift” headboard going on…
Are you inspired yet? Good, because I most definitely am. That’s why when The Little Silk Road Shop reached out to me about their company, I just had to share it with all of you. The Little Silk Road Shop sells vintage suzanis and ikats from Uzbekistan and produces contemporary reproductions using all natural dyes and traditional methods.
With artisans in Central Asia creating these beauties for your home, you now have the chance to win your very own Vintage Suzani! Yes, you heard right… This beauty is approximately 49” by 47” and can be used as a bedspread, framed art or even to cover up that old couch you’ve been meaning to get rid of. I absolutely love the pops of pink and the deep indigo blue…
Curious how these colors happen in nature? Take a look:
Red: red beetroot and red peppers; Orange: Carrot, sweet potato, saffron crocus; Purple: elderberries, Yellow: Onions and chamomile, Pink (yes, pink): sandalwood

Hi There,
Pinterest & facebook liked :-). Although it’s not the most original idea, I would have to let this beautiful Suzani take pride of place on my bed.
All the best

Would love this as a bed cover! crossing my fingers could really use one 🙂
Love their Suzanis – they do beautiful work! I’d probably use as a framed wall hanging or over the back of the sofa.
Love the Suzanis…I would use it for awhile on the back of my sofa, then as a bed spread, then as a tablecloth. It would work it’s way around the house in so many fun ways. Hope I win..so exciting!
Thanks to you and the Little Silk Road Shop for the giveaway!!
I would use this as a table cover in my dining room. The colors are gorgeous! I like both on FB as Susan Chester. Pinterest as ptowngirl25.
I have the perfect spot for this gorgeous textile in my dining room as a focal point. Thanks for the great contest and links that will bring more beauty into my life.
Curtains, covers, cushions, chairs, tables, walls, headboards, etc, etc… There are illimitable ways I would love to immerse myself in these beautiful cloths.
The boldness, colours and patterns are timeless.

I would incorporate this as a wall hanging in my living room
I haven’t done almost anything to decorate my guest room and this would be a great start!
I did steps one and two.
If I win it, it will become the focal point of my bedroom!
I did steps 1 and 2 (Pinterest Laura Lee)
We just redecorated our family room and one was is exposed brick with hard floors in front. This is so beautiful that I would put it in the middle of the floor as it would perfectly bring the floors and wall together.
I would use it as a wall hanging
I would use it as a bed covering in my spare bedroom.
If I would win this Suzani I would admire the beautiful fabric, smell it to smell the smell and warmth of Bukhara and feel the joy, love and warmth of the women who have made this Suzani. after that I would make a curtain ( like a gobelin) of it , to hang for my ugly TV so I can show off a beautiful work of art in my living room to everyone,instead of looking at an ugly TV during the day.
