Inspiration Folder: Moroccan Poufs

I have been spending a lot of time lately daydreaming about my next apartment. I'm beyond ready to have my own space again, and I've been bookmarking all sorts of furniture and decor items that I would love to surround myself with. Even though Moroccan poufs have been quite popular for a few years now, my desire for one was recently rekindled when I acquired a couple of back issues of Blueprint (thanks, Jess!) and saw the turquoise pouf in the fourth photo below...so fun! I also love the pastel versions, because they make me think of candy :)

Poufs as coffee tables (Domino)

If (or should I say when?) I get my own pouf, I think I will take a cue from Lonny editor-in-chief Michelle Adams and use it as a sort of side table and pull it out for use as occasional seating or an ottoman as needed. Color-wise, I really do love the turquoise, but I think yellow or red might be easier to incorporate into a room. And even though it's waaaaayyyy out of my price range, I can still fantasize about this super glamorous metallic version. Love.

  1. So love those spaces. The puffs make the space very grounded. I wouldn't mind one or two myself!

  2. I heart Alexandra Wentworth's Apartment, minus the pink/purple. Oh, and you should find me some artwork like the one next to the window, on the cheap. Kthanksbye.

  3. That is a large painting to find on the cheap! I will see if I can find something similar, but possibly smaller...
