Dramatic Comfort: Unlike a Unicorn, it Exists!

March 29, 2017 · In: Art, Books, Eat, Fashion, Interior Design, Kitchen, Travel

Dramatic Comfort :: House of Valentina
Dramatic Comfort.  It sounds more like a unicorn than a thing that actually exists, but it does!  I find that a lot of us struggle to mix metals and textures.  We are scared of what the outcome will be so we play it safe and use one material throughout… which inevitably leaves us feeling unsatisfied and we can’t quite put our finger on why.

Fur and leather, bronze and chrome, distressed wood and metal, linen and velvet… the combinations are endless and they all create a dramatic comfort that is compelling and delicious… especially if the combination is healthy chia and chocolate…

I’m Completely obsessed with this hotel… to me I’m Completely obsessed with this hotel… to me it epitomizes the very idea of Organic Luxury and also simultaneously celebrates Moroccan heritage! It has utterly blown our minds and reminded us of so many of the reasons why we fell in love with Morocco over 16 years ago! (I started my first blog, Travelingmama, back in 2007, because I wanted to share the beauty, hospitality and love we discovered when we moved here… and here we are all these years later still excited to share more of those same things!
