Take A Trip To Morocco Without Leaving The Room!

Anna Yu on May 4, 2009 2:21 PM PDT

Do you go to a bookstore and always wander to the travel section? Or when people ask you where you got an article of clothing, your answer is always from a different country? But like most people, the heart is willing, but the wallet isn't very giving. If you can only afford to go to Paris, Texas this summer, then it's only right for us to bring the world to you. Today's stop on the world tour is Morocco! Known for their tile print motifs and bright colors, Moroccan influences can be easily found in home decor pieces. Think of getting some gauzy linen curtains, lanterns in every corner, and bright pops of orange and red. The large Agadir Pouf from Anthropologie can be used as an ottoman or floor seating for extra guests. Another favorite pick is a bold medallion rug, appropriate for your entryway or dining room. Check out my slideshow for more Moroccan-style picks for your home!

First off, we have a bright macrame table for under $30, and no, it's not from IKEA. Then we'll show you the Anthropologie pillow that'll brighten up your bed in its own subtle way. And you truly, truly can't miss the Frette bath towels-- they'll only be 50% off for a limited time, so you'd better run over to Bluefly now before they're all gone! Check out the slideshow for more hot savings! Deals like these won't last long.

Lisanne Silverman on Apr 11, 2008 2:16 PM PDT

People are such funny creatures. We buy pretty clothes and spritz ourselves with lovely perfumes, but then we buy pretty decor, only to spritz our rooms with... Febreeze? It's a little off-putting, if you ask me. And while I suppose perfumes could double as room sprays, let's just pretend that they don't like to share, because I've come up with ten chic, elegant home fragrances that will make that shiny new bottle of Burberry 'The Beat' insanely jealous. From fragrance rocks to sticks, diffusers, and even scented sheets, there are plenty of ways to introduce a new scent to your home, and many of them are pretty enough to function as decor! Click SEE THE SLIDESHOW for 10 reasons to toss the Febreeze!
