IN FINE TRADITION Create an artisan feel to interiors with decor that celebrates folk traditions. Naïve arts, hand-painted furniture, embroidered or block-printed textiles and carved woods combine for a tactile, rustic charm. Whether native skills, Eastern European in influence or more tribal in style, these crafted pieces add an interesting layer of character and intrigue. Often bright and colourful, and simplifying floral or animal shapes, folk designs are perfect for the eclectic home, though for a calmer look, neutral options are also to be found. For an endearing Easter display, seek eggs with decorative folk-style floral patterns – the creatively minded may feel inspired to paint their own.
