Inspiration: The allure of Marrakech


Lately, the Kingdom of Morroco, and specifically the city of Marrakech, has been ubiquitous in the design world, influencing everything from textiles to dinner-ware. It's easy to see why: the intricacy of designs and bold blends of colors gives any room a touch of royalty.

While the elaborate intricacy of differing patterns might come across as overwhelming in some other design scheme, the Marrakech look embraces variety. The look is balanced, though, with the bright white bases of furniture and walls. 

In lieu of buying a ticket right now, here's the next best thing: get the look from Wildflower. 

 Clockwise from top left: purple pattern pillow - $163 / green glass cup - $10 / octo table - $990 / red embroidered pillow - $348 / fennel ottoman - $998 / metallic zag pillow - $275 / bronze cup - $39 / round lanterns - $595 

 woven beach blankets - $45

 one of a kind glass bottles - prices vary

antique filing cabinet - $1280

 gold side table - $1400
 
 silver nesting tables - $485

tibetan lamb ottoman - $1095

hammered copper lamps - $420 / cutout lantern - $488

For true Marrakesh style, create lounge spaces with wide couches and plush pillows - and don't forget the mint tea.
