Woven shades, curtains and pillows in raw silk, linen, brocades, and embroideries, curly willow sticks in pottery vases, natural elements such as seashells and tumbled stones; three-dimensional artwork for the walls, such as masks, tapestries, and wall hangings; and lastly, mirrors and frames in carved wood, wrought iron or inlaid shells.
