Authentic Moroccan decor in the heart of Paris.

Newly opened deco boutique, Rue des Consuls, is dedicated to showcasing the rich diversity of Moroccan styled interiors.

Owner and Interior Designer Rajaa, talks passionately about her mixed upbringing, here in Paris where she was born and studied to her upbringing in Morocco where she learned early the meaning of authenticity and artisanry via her grandfather who was a local artisan.

Her design philosophy, fashion background and clean aesthetic eye shines through in the boutique.

The store is also physical outpost  for the products she creates. Its’ concept involves a three themed story that changes with each season ( for example there is an upcoming theme for Christmas).  While inside the store you’ll feel that every object  is precious, and has a story to be told. I’m already excited about the upcoming themes and projects.

Present themes shown below are Nomad, Bled’Art and Sultane Bleue.

I need some apartment therapy!

With the arrival of my son last December( yea!!!!! we’ve almost made it through our first year of parenthood!) we gave him our bedroom about 2months ago and moved our bedroom to what used to be my husbands office/living area.

So now I have a new space to decorate and I have no idea what to do.

I’ve been searching the net for inspiration and I’ve been finding some great stuff from bloggers all over the world( like this, this and this) and magazines( like this & this), and even Ikea. Here are a few shot of what I have in mind.

Right now we have a lot of earth tone going on for the apartment, black leather, browns and gray walls. So to simplify my life I’m focusing black and white for our bedroom. Are there any resources that you use or places you go to get inspiration, ideas and products for your renovations/interior decor?

Because right now, I can’t sleep thinking about all the design inspiration to turn this apartment back into our comfy home, as hubby puts it, “c’est un vrai bordel” meaning its a real mess.
