Turkish style is warm and inviting, earthy and exotic. There is an abundance of warm earth tones with pops of beautiful color. lots of patterns and texture and there is a slightly more rustic feel. It is simple, soft and relaxing.

Turkey has ancient roots. The colors and textures of the land has inspired much of the art, colors and culture. Turkish elements are often used in Bohemian inspired designs.

Turkish style showcases Byzantine and Ottoman architectural styles and modern and classical motifs. 

Byzantine architecture had lots of exotic, sensual domes and  mosaics, that are graceful and filled with light. It is ornate, vibrant and rich in detail, warm and sensual. It often blends soft whites with rich colors.

If you love feeding and entertaining guests, this might be the style for you, as this is very important in Turkish culture and reflected in their designs.

Above is an example of an Edesign I created using the photo of Byzantine architecture  and the Turkish area rug as the inspiration.  I also incorporated my Great Conjunction Fractal art into the design as the colors and shapes were perfect for Turkish Style.

Do you need an Alignment?

The design highlights Turkish tiles on the floor, Moroccan lighting,  and a beautiful Turkish rug. Arched windows, and a Turkish chandelier add to the look.  Kilim inspired and global style pillows against a modern sofa create a nice contrast. The simple Bamboo tables have a rustic feeling and are eco-friendly.

To get the look, you could go all out and incorporate all the elements or you can add some key elements to your existing decor.

If you want to get the look with more neutral colored walls, you could go with an off white or sand color to keep the look of the colors of the desert, and emphasize the grace and light of Byzantine architecture.

How is Turkish Style Different?

How is Turkish Style different from other global styles?  Learn more with me each week as we explore and compare a variety of global styles.

So far we have explored Greek, Moroccan, and Turkish styles. Notice the differences in colors, textures, lighting, art etc. between these styles done in the same room. Learn more in my blog articles, Get the Look- Global Style, Greek and Get the Look- Global Style- Moroccan.

 Your takeaway is that by changing some of the elements in your existing design, you can work towards creating a certain  global style. Or you can have a mix of elements for a more “Bohemian Style”. More on that to come.
