Queen & Country

For this post I thought I'd do an Interior special for you all.

I've chosen a relatively festive theme of Morocco.

Key points to a perfect Moroccan room:

1. Floor cushions
2. Use many textures, patterns and materials (best done with soft furnishings i.e curtains, rugs and cushions)
3. Lots of candles
4. Use one or two main colours like Raspberry and Teal for wall paper, bedding etc, then use the other colours to accentuate. 
5. Make a colour chart and decide on the 5 or 6 colours you'd like
6. You don't have to go all out Moroccan, you can use a few pieces from the ones I selected below to accent or inject any room with colour.

Think jewels, luxury, silk, sparkles and texture.

I've made a colour and texture chart to help give you a bit of an insight into Moroccan colour combinations. 

This is my Inspiration board. This shows quite clearly how layering textures, patterns and colours is the key to authentic, vibrant looking moroccan themed rooms. These are far more traditional looking rooms where my colour and texture chart shows a more modern approach.

This is my collection of interior pieces available to purchase online.
