Boho Retreat

AzilalThese are woven in the Azilal province in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco. They combine the freestyle zaniness of Boucherouites and the restrained dark grid of Beni Ourains, often with a natural wool background throwing bright colours, motifs and diamond lozenge shapes into relief. Natural dyes from saffron, henna, indigo, wild mint and pomegranates lend these rugs their vibrancy. They display the intuitive artistry that permeates tribal Moroccan rugs and with their modern aesthetic, make superb wall art.

Nomadic nuancesAre you ready to be a ‘global nomad’ or a ‘desert wanderer’? Perhaps you’ve always been one, but now this strong trend has a name, coined by UK trend forecasting agency Scarlet Opus. It defines a marked drift towards eclectic combinations of artefacts and styles from other cultures and an increasing appreciation for artisan objects and crafts, inspired by past travels in exotic locations. It seems to be driven by a realisation of just how complicated our lives have become and how beneficial it is to embrace simplicity, if only in the small space we call home.

The light floor, walls and furniture allowed her to punctuate the space with richly colored accessories. Throw pillows made from vintage Hmong textiles, a blanket from India and a Moroccan rug add layers of global texture that give the homeowner’s guests some exotic flavor in the mobile home getaway.
