Moroccan Interior Design: Wedding blanket (handira) used as a rug

I have fallen in love with a blanket, no seriously, big time in Love! I have been toying with the idea of buying a Moroccan Wedding Blanket (Handira) for about a year now, and a couple of weeks ago just went for it.

Handira are hand woven blankets made from 100% wool and decorated with sequins. The Wedding blankets are made by Berber women and are traditionally used as a cape during wedding ceremonies (See photo below). Post wedding Handira look beautiful as blankets on the bed, as rugs or even as wall hangings.

I am so, so impressed I just had to share....I got mine from Beyond Marrakech, a blog and shop owned by the lovely Danielle, who also owns a beautiful Guest house Dar Zohra in the Atlas Mountains.

Living in Morocco, Danielle sources these beautiful Handira locally and has the most beautiful wide range of these beautiful blankets. If like me you are messy the blankets also come in colour.

What do you guys think?

Moroccan pouffes are another way to add a bohemian element to your home. Perfect for using as a tables with a silver tray balanced on top, as foot-rests or just as pure decoration. A simple google search will throw up plenty of results but shops like Grahame and Green and Anthopologie will sell and deliver world wide. Other specialist online stores such as Moroccan Bazaar and Moroccan decor also sell them and of course there is the always handy ebay and etsy for the bargains and one offs.

Moroccan pouffe

I have had an obsession for a long while. Pouffe's. I really want one but at £65-80 for a good-en they always seem a little out of my student budget, and there is always something else i need a little more when it comes to birthdays and christmas. Here is a couple of rooms with pouffe's that feed my current obsession. They look just stunning with the moroccan trays on-top too. i am hopefully off to Morocco next year so i will just have to wait.

mmm

The pouffes in the picture can be brought from Grahme and Green
