BRING IT HOME Do you sometimes find yourself purchasing items on your travels, then unpacking them at home and wondering why you bought them and where you’ll actually place them? Moroccan design is so dynamic, beautiful and intoxicating, you can’t visit the souks without snapping up beauties to bring home. A few items I love to bring back from Morocco for my clients include the following. Vintage Moroccan rugs look fantastic in the homes I design. They are so cozy, each is unique and completely one-of-a-kind and I love that there is a story behind every single one. The designs are often fairly simple and easy to incorporate into most homes when you want to inject some color and warmth. The wool of vintage rugs can not be compared to the newly woven rugs of imported wool you can find all over Morocco. Vintage wool is silky soft and has a different feel to it.
Vintage handira (wedding blankets) make great pillows and look fantastic strewn across the foot of a bed. The draped sparkle and add just the right touch of chic and glamour, yet the nubby handwoven wool adds an earthy, organic element.
