Style Counsel 3.9.10

This room makes us feel all Kate Winslet in “Hideous Kinky” or a special guest at Yves Saint Laurent’s 70’s Moroccan hideaway.

We’re always encouraging you to break the rules – this room goes one step further and burns the rule book in a furnace of hot, tropical, exotic colour!

• Mis-match furniture for an eclectic, bohemian look – check
• Dispense with traditional room settings – check
• Mix cultural references for a globe trotter effect – check
• Over scale accessories for drama and impact – check
• Throw in discordant accents for an edgy, designer feel – check
• Don’t let the structure of a room dictate your look, go ahead and put a screen over a window if it creates drama and makes your heart sing!

Eco Chic can help you achieve this sexy, colour-saturated style. Try the Emery sofa in pumpkin linen or Tangerine velvet, lavish Escapade and Feverpitch cushions all over it, drape a Mohair throw in Mediterranean on the arm, add Lewis or Suzette ottomans opposite, pile your coffee table with Glow Candles and Charlize urns, hang a Giselle mirror and you’re Rocking the Casbah!
