We're getting one of our lounges done up, and I wanted to go for the Middle Easter/Moroccan look. I love how its so rich and opulent, and still comfortable. Its so beautiful. I'm bored of all these all white/ all cream...lifeless rooms, I love colour and brightness. I hate clutter though, so I like to still keep it minimal.
We chose a colour called Eastern Spice (3) by Dulux, as on the tester page it looked like a mix of that sunset orange/brown. Unfortunately, it's actually more orange! However, it's a really beautiful colour...
Now our lounge has floor to ceiling windows, so it can get very bright so the orange can look a bit much, but I'm thinking once the carpet and curtains etc are all in it'll look much better.
So, the look I wanted to go for was:
Ok, so this is a bedroom lol...
I just love this below room...So bright, but gorgeous! Obviously not to everyones taste though...
So far it the paints been done and looks likes:
I didnt want to show the whole room as it's a mess with the old carpet and painters bits and bobs!That's the colour, with the door, I want to put some material draping over it.
Once it's all fully done, I will do an updated post with the full look, just wanted to get your ideas on what you think is a Middle Eastern style room??Lanterns, candles, cushions and drapes are all obvious, so now to go find them. Where would you recommend?

ReplyDeleteHm, you could maybe add some wooden furniture with intricate detailing?
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of what you're going for! I wouldn't have it myself right now - I'm still into pale walls with bold colours/simple furniture - but if I was to ever go bright, it'd definitely be in this direction!
all those rooms look so gorgeous.. Love your blog :)
