Textile love: Moroccan Wedding Blankets

apartment therapy

Rich in Berber tradition and ceremony, these beautiful handcrafted textiles are so at home in modern interiors.  On the floor, on the wall and, of course, on the bed, they bring a dose of warmth, texture and sparkle.  How would you use a Moroccan Wedding Blanket in your home?

These yellow cushions bring a little ray of sunshine into this exotic Moroccan courtyard - a perfect soft and sunny juxtaposition against graphic ikat-inspired floor tiles and the black wire classic chairs.  Do you love it too?

Textile love: Ikat

Elle Decor

Ikat has been the flavour of the month for quite a while for interiors and fashion, and rightly so.  It can add a perfect dose of pattern, colour and exoticism to a modern interior or outfit.  Do you think it's become old news?  Am I allowed to still love it?
