Oriental trend: set skilful accents
26.6.2016

My favourite place to travel privately is Morocco. This summer, I'm staying at home and using the time to realise the inspiration I've gathered in my own home. You can find out what I would like to decorate my interior with and what my "must do's" in Marrakech are here.
Create the wow effect with just a few accessories
For me, the modern interpretation of oriental style is characterised by colourful textiles and metal-coloured accessories and lights. Not everything has to have an oriental look: simple furniture made from natural materials makes the eye-catchers really shine. The modern oriental look should set accents and not dominate. With a few accessories and eye-catching lights, even very simple home furnishings can be given an oriental twist.
My "must do's" in Marrakech
- Stay overnight in a riad
- Visit the Majorelle Garden, which was bought by Yves Saint Laurent in 1980
- Drink coffee at the Mamounia Hotel
- Drive to the Ourika Valley to see the Berber women weaving carpets.
- Enjoy the sunset on the roof terrace of the Zwin Zwin café.
- Visit the "Marrakech Inn" furniture store with its modern interpretation of interior design.
