Relatively recently in our interior appeared this mysterious oriental guest - a hookah. He immediately became very popular.

To enjoy the aroma of sweet smoke, there is no need to go to eastern countries. Now hookah can be seen both in an expensive restaurant and in an ordinary apartment, it serves as an exotic and bright detail of the interior in the oriental style. The eastern guest liked many things, regardless of their gender and age. In numerous cafes with a hookah pipe you can see not only the company of young people, but also ladies of Balzac's age. And all at the same time feel comfortable and peaceful. Apparently, the East is valued for its knowledge of the human soul and philosophy.
Hookah is considered to be the birthplace of India. Of course, the ancestor of the modern hookah is a little like the usual smoking device - it was an empty coconut with two holes made. A mixture was poured into the empty cavity of the nut, which consisted of several aromatic herbs, and a straw was inserted into the hole. Many years passed, the hookah traveled through the countries of the Middle East and East Asia, reached Turkey and Egypt, changing the uncomplicated device to a device of elegant and beautiful appearance. Today, hookahs a huge variety - ranging from small souvenir items to giant two-meter copies. They are made of copper, crystal, brass, glass. Many hookahs look like real works of art and they have a magnificent finish, made in an inimitable oriental style.
Hookah will be most original in the interior of the room in the oriental style. Even if you do not have the opportunity to create an oriental interior of the whole room, then perform in this style a small exotic corner, in which the main place will be occupied by a hookah. The most important thing is to choose the right details, thanks to which the interior will really look refined and oriental. A soft colorful wool carpet on the floor, a low wide sofa with a lot of bright platens and decorative pillows, a small elegant table on which, in fact, there will be a hookah, as well as a canopy and a textile panel - all this is an integral part of the oriental style.
Special attention should be paid to the colorful fabrics, which in the interior of the room should be a lot: velvet, brocade, moire, silk. Furniture is desirable to draw in colorful silk or satin.
