TREND #1 - Exotic Global Travel Influences

MOROCCAN
AFRICANA
Design Director at www.therugseller.co.uk Daniel Prendergast
“This autumn we’ll see room schemes that conjure the idea
of exotic escapes reimagined with cosy textures and a deep
autumnal colour palette. Two geographical areas are emerging
as particularly popular, Africa (including Morocco) and South
America (in particular Mexico).
“Heritage prints and tribal patterns, alongside animal motifs will
create the feel of a sun-soaked safari even in the depths of winter.
“Utilise texture and rich colour to add some winter warmth.
Warm reds and orange tones mixed alongside rich greens give
this look an autumnal spin.
“Animal hide and skins, either on floor coverings or faux effect
wallpaper, are another great way to introduce the look. On
the floor, traditional hides always look great but if the room
dictates a larger or ‘squarer’ rug, then patchwork leather/
animal hide can be another option.”
