Old items taken out of the nooks and crannies of cellars and attics, refurbished and skillfully used,can become an extremely effective home furnishings, especially the living room. An example would be a comfortable table and a handy console with cutlery in the dining corner. Kilim mats, fringes and other things from the past, combined with a skilled hand, create an interesting whole. Simple boards on the wall can be just as attractive, contrasting, aggressive colors, old instruments and the conscious use of kitsch.
