Simple yet highly effective… Change your cushion covers. 

We suggest going for exotic colours with contrasting textures, this will completely transform your room without taking a chunk out of your budget. 

Open up your space 

Roll up the blinds, draw back the curtains and let there be light! Paint your room with a fresh pastel or crisp white whilst maximising the intake of natural light… This will expose you to space you never even knew you had.

Plants, plants, plants. 

Place different size and shaped plants in quirky pots throughout your home. This will give you the converted alfresco aesthetic that all the influencers are sporting. 

TIP-  putting plants in front of a mirror will give the illusion that they’ve doubled in size, whilst also, keeping them energised from the sunlight. 

Mix in some Moroccan magic 

Metals, fabric and mosaics are all key staples of the popular Moroccan vibe. Stick with rich colours, gauzy textures and brass finishes and you’ll nail this signature style. 

Woven and wicker  

Sprinkle some bohemian sass into your digs, with a variety of woven and wicker accessories. From storage boxes to rustic lamp shades and handcrafted plant hangers… There’s truly no excuse for you not to give this one a go.
