designer Sam Sacks — a routine on the pages of home & house — shares tips to master Moroccan style.
If you ask me, there is almost nothing in Moroccan style that isn’t stomach-flipping, drop-dead gorgeous. From decorative encaustic tiles to a utilitarian toilet roll holder, it’s as though every square inch of anything made in Morocco has beauty woven with it. It’s for this reason that my annual buying trip to far flung locations discovered me scouring the souks of Marrakesh hunting for deeply hued rugs, wildly colored pompom blankets as well as those irresistible poufs. So exactly how to to utilize all that color in our conventional Canadian style landscape? right here are a few tips.
My office was so crammed full of awesomeness when I shown up house from Morocco, I would just sit as well as gaze at everything. The pompom blankets are especially spectacular. Woven from sheep’s wool as well as then dyed in eye-popping hues, it was so difficult to select that I brought lots back.
