How to Style Traditional Syrian Furniture in a Modern Home
One ornate piece per room, neutral walls, and the confidence to let craft be the focal point.
The secret to styling inlaid Damascene furniture is restraint everywhere else. A pearl-back chair or a mosaic game table carries enormous visual detail; give it a neutral wall, simple curtains and breathing room, and it will hold the room like a piece of art.
Think in terms of one statement per space. A Beyzika table in the living room, a calligraphy panel in the entrance, an oval pearl mirror in the hall. Each piece should be discoverable, not crowded.
Contemporary pieces from our Contemporary Heritage collection are designed exactly for this balance — clean silhouettes in modern proportions, carrying hand-inlaid detail that rewards a closer look.
