And that reminded me of the wonderful textile art you can find in the Andes countries.
Especially the weavers of today can look onto an ancient tradition, dating back up to 4000 years. The oldest textiles were found at the pre-Columbian temple of Huaca Prieta in the Chicama Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15871565282521663165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035705026369289452.post-13633001300402821182016-03-09T17:23:00.000+00:002016-03-09T17:23:09.689+00:00A Silk Painting about a very special Place - Machu Picchu in PeruAs the next post will be about Peruvian textile art I am re-writing this post from a long time ago.

This is the second post about wrought iron - last time the theme was wrought iron beds and other furniture.

Five Ways to Incorporate European Culture into Your Interior Design
Europe is a vast space that’s full of contrasting and interesting cultures. And luckily for design buffs, there are many ways that you can bring a taste of Europe into your living space. If you’ve been lacking in inspiration, it could be the ideal way to bring a breath of fresh air into your home.

Maybe it is the seeming fragility of the material that evokes this impression. Or maybe because most wrought iron beds are dressed with romantic materials such as lots of pillows, ruches, sheers and silky textiles etc.

The cross above the bed is probably very valuable and may have a very special meaning for the owners but it is also too predictable for my personal taste. Rooms should look as if someone is LIVING there - not so much like a museum.

The first one is often cold the second more often over-stuffed and cluttered. Both are not very helpful for a peaceful sleep I believe. Personally I don't like large rooms as a bedroom - I am more the cave type of person. My bedroom must be cosy, the bed should stand in the corner of the room with the wall directly behind my back.

A room that is completely harmonius, serene and not too dark despite the dark blue wall. But the light accents and carpet add enough brilliance.
I have an alternative for the art on the wall though. I would hang a different piece in order to add a bit more drama and movement without destroying the concept:
