Happiness is…

Dhoku Kilims

You’re moving house and need new stuff:
a) IKEA= Cheap, but breaks down easily 
b) That crooked furniture shop= This isn’t a bedsit and you’re not a student
c) Grand Bazaar= ‘I need something to cover the floor (and, no, magic carpet doesn’t count)’      

Though located in the heart of touristy Grand Bazaar (who wants a wacky souvenir like belly-dancing costume?), in the flooring department, nothing beats Dhoku, a revolutionary take on the good old Anatolian kilim in geometric designs by famous designers. 

Each Dhoku is a one-of-a-kind piece that complements your urban lifestyle, be it in a concrete loft space in Levent or a den in Cihangir.  Using uncommon patterns and textures (Dhoku means ‘texture’), it combines organic materials and colours in a refreshingly modern style.   

Get one for your living room.  

And enjoy being asked for advice about decorating by that brunette bombshell girlfriend of yours who sees it, when your cluelessness about the subject had been a big anxiety of your existence to date.
