Although not my usual style, I could literally spend hours looking at this Marrakech beauty. Designed by Belgian interior designer Esther Gutmer with architect Helena Marczewski, this wonderful home balances the classic, grown-up style with a contemporary spirit.

The spaces are so comfortable and inviting. Even though this home is nothing short of opulent and luxurious, the overall feel is all about simplicity, softness and purity. I am also quite taken by the organic qualities of this house – the warmth, earthy colours and natural textures. Just beautiful. And it certainly doesn’t hurt it was photographed by the amazing Richard Powers.
