Sometimes it’s worth to go that little extra mile to find some shops
I never thought it would get this far, but in spite of all my previous posts about boring beige, I’ve recently quite come to like it.
It might have something to do with the fact that I like natural tones and here in Morocco, a lot of materials come in beige. All kind of beige and this is where it gets interesting! A mix of warm shades in natural tones, from milk white to coffee with milk, create a warm and hygge interior.
This week I’m showing you the pieces we source on our workshops and retreats. I’m also adding some inspiring photos from Instagram to show you what you can achieve with your treasures from the souks.
Remember, it’s all handmade and this to me is one of the purest forms of luxury.
Round poofs, square ones, I do love the all natural ones with hand stitching
coppar pots, pans and even tagines can be custom made.
one of my favourite hang-outs, the upperfloor of this hidden gem where it’s hard to leave empty handed…
I simply adore the backside of this small carpet made in natural wool colours.
A cheap and simple decoration object.
unique pottery, too beautiful to hide inside a kitchen cabinet.
Bamboo lamp shades in all sizes
mirror mirror on the wall…
