We love ethnic touches, but there's a fine line between "just a touch" to suddenly a bit too "theme-y." This interior from a recent Vogue Living Australia is a great example of the balance between staying modern, yet still keeping some ethnic flavor...(more after the jump)
Moroccan Modern
Vogue Living Australia Jan/Feb 2008
Many Moroccan-inspired interiors are full of rich vibrant color, and this room definitely has that. However, we love how they've kept it under control by using lots of black and white furnishings. Working with multiple patterns and motifs can be tricky, but we think they pulled it off quite well! What do you think?

It's nice overall, but I wish I was there to save those beautiful pillows from that hideous cushion.

Frankly this is such an ethnocentric statement it makes me sick. Overkill on some "Other" culture and its theme-y. Overdose on mid century modern or Danish ( or anything European) and thats perfect. Please check your ethnocentric assumptions and chauvinism.

I love these pillows. Does anyone have a good line on these kinds of cushions in NYC?

I was kinda thinking the same thing as Trumystique when I read that bit of the description.
