Marrakech expressed: turning an old farm into a light-filled home | Interiors

February 5, 2023 admin

When French fashion art director Julien Tang met photographer and model Cyrielle Rigot in Paris, she was “longing for new air and far-flung adventures”. “Marrakech awaited us,” says Julien. Shortly afterwards, in 2014, the couple transformed a 16th-century townhouse in Marrakech’s medina into Riad Jardin Secret, an hôtel particulier. Once home to Yves Saint Laurent, who entertained his young lovers there, the house conjures up a 1970s Hideous Kinky design appeal.

February 3, 2023 admin

Interior designer and Spruce Up! founder Sarah Bowen told Insider the modern-organic trend, defined as a blend of minimalism, mid-century-modern decor, and bohemian-design styles, will likely start to decline in 2023.

“While modern organic was soaring in early 2022, its popularity will likely experience a steep decline in 2023,” Bowen said.

According to Bowen, modern organic is currently overwhelming the market and homeowners will begin to move away from the trend to avoid interiors that look too similar to other homes.

Inspired by the playful-meets-sophisticated work of AD100 interior designer Beata Heuman, and the use of color, oddities, and antiques seen throughout the portfolio fellow AD100 firm Pierce & Ward, Rabinowitz hired Toronto-based Ashley Montgomery Design for her ground-up project in Ontario.

Gaines notes that once those key pieces were in place, it was easier to fill in the gaps with the large fiddle-leaf fig tree, the mirror, and smaller decor items. “All of these elements work together to create a natural flow that makes the room feel both functional and beautiful,” Gaines says.
