Someday, a vintage Spanish staircase. Today, hand stencils straight out of Marrakesh. 

Someday…

I would like build a staircase using vintage Spanish tiles like designer Betsy Burnham. Betsy believes in mixing thrift with couture, my beloved style. The unapologetic use of colors and patterns is spot on – both ponderous and exotic.

Today…

I can use stencils to create a Moroccan inspired staircase. Melanie Royal offers some pretty stencils for your home projects, particularly in the black and cream color palette, which is sophisticated. The mix of patterns is duly lovely. Care of My Marrakesh.

Need some plants for your wall? These Green Pockets by Maruja Fuentes are mounted tiles made from recycled materials that elevate the houseplant to new heights.

Fuentes says the tiles fuse nature with the interior space, improving both air quality and health. The goal is to create the the illusion that the plants are actually growing from the wall installations.  The unique shape allows the sculpted half-domes to interlock, resulting in a variety of  patterns depending on the vegetation planted.
