All things Moroccan seem to be popping up everywhere lately, and you certainly won’t hear me complaining! I started collecting Moroccan lanterns a few years ago, and much to my fiancés alarm, the collection is not showing any signs of decreasing. I am drawn to their bright exotic colours (which I normally shy away from on a larger scale) and of course, the intricate patterns and shapes. But it is not just lanterns that have my attention, I covet Moroccan tea sets, wedding blankets and other textiles, the interesting architecture and landscape… even Moroccan food is a firm favourite of mine. Hmmm… I feel another trip coming on!
Great post...I also love Moroccan decor, you should check out YSL's villa in Morocco. You have selected gorgeous items and pictures!

I am a huge Moroccan fan! They do they best alfresco settings. I'm envious of your lantern collection, I want to have a selection to hang out in our patio area. x

ReplyDeleteThis is definitely one of my favorite design aesthetics and this post puts a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteI do!! I love those wedding blankets right now!
ReplyDeleteI got so excited when this post popped up on my feed! I am just like you and adore Moroccan style, especially lanterns!! When I have a house big enough to contain them, I will definitely build my own collection of lanterns :-)

I just love this style. The lamps and the rugs are just gorgeous from there.
ReplyDeleteI love exotic style too - it becomes a vacation at home! If you haven't been you will LOVE Morocco and the shopping that goes along with it. I went with two girlfriends many years ago and I'm not sure which one of us came home with the most stuff!!! I still love the stuff I bought 12 years later... I bet you saw a hint of that in the Portuguese designs on your trip - I loved seeing those styles intermixed!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally up my alley! You always find the best photos!! Making a girl dream over here!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love how those lanterns case little sparkly lights on the walls and ceilings. I am lusting after that wicker outdoor furniture too.
ReplyDeleteI love the courtyards in Morocco although I've never been there they just look so great! I'm also a fan of the lanterns and the blankets...
ReplyDeleteI love everything Moroccan as well. I've been wanting to get one of those wedding blankets for a while now-- they are just gorgeous-- what bed wouldn't look good with some shiny diamonds on them?! :)
