Looks We Love: Vintage French

There's something wonderful about classic French interiors. Timeless relics meet modern luxurious treasures to form a look that's at once rustic and opulent. The French seem to have a true devotion to beauty in everything - why should the home be any different?

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.
