Inspiration: Moroccan interior Design

Home Inspiration: Moroccan Interior design
I am just in love with this Photo. I spent a good hour looking for images that I could use to show off beautiful Moroccan seating alongside this one, and although there are some beauties, this one is so pretty, and as it encapsulates everything I love about Moroccan interior design so I decided it needed a post of its own!

These beautiful low level Moroccan seating areas are so stunning and are not too difficult or expensive to achieve. Some second hand Kilim floor cushions, an ottoman, large bushy houseplants and a tray table are all you need to be on your way to creating your own Moroccan inspired chill out area to sip on peppermint tea and browse World of Interiors magazine.

If redesigning your living room is out of the question but you would still love a little Moroccan beauty at home a couple of floor pillows and a Moroccan tea light holder would be great for a summer garden or to take to the park/beach...

This home is so great. With a wonderful eclectic mix of modern yellow hues paired with vintage fabrics from across the globe. It is great to see a home that is adult yet really kid friendly :)

Home wear at Urban Outfitters US

Urban Outfitters US Apartment
Acid Washed Bedlinen by Magical Thinking at Urban Outfitters US


Okay, so I am not going to rant but....... why is Urban Outfitters so much better in the US for Home wears than the UK? It is so annoying to see so many beautiful, affordable pieces on Pinterest only to track them down to their US site.

I love the two images above, the Magical Thinking Acid wash bedlinen, the PaddyWax Apothecary candle and that Rope lamp.... all gorgeous and none of which available in the UK....

Below are some other beautiful pieces available at Urban Outfitters for my American Friends :)

Penabranca First Full Moon Art Print
Magical Thinking Suede Fringe Pillow
Turning Triangles Terrarium

Conversation Pits...

Conversation Pit: Imagine a world with No TV or Ipads where people actually talk :) : Jasper Conrans house
Terence Conran's Conversation pit in 1974 book "The House Book"
Modern relaxing conversation Pit
Modern conversation Pit
1960's Conversation Pit
Conversation Pit. The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement
The TV and modern technology has taken over the home hasn't it? Where as at one time the sitting/living room was a room focused around a fire where families and friends could converse now we are all facing that big flat screen TV whilst tapping away on our Ipads. I am starting to get really bored with TV, and other than a few awesome series (Game of Thrones, The Wire, Breaking Bad etc...) really would not miss my TV anymore if it disapeared into the ether.

I am all for the idea of a conversation pit like the ones above, especially the one in the top image, then even if the conversation did get dry I would have the hills to look at :)

What do you guys reckon, should we blow up our TV's?


P.s ... Havin a night mare with adding links on my new computer so will add them when figured this thing out but for now all the images can be found on my PInterest... link top left of blog :)
