Boho Riad borrows from the courtyard houses of Marrakech: thick plaster walls the color of warm clay, carved wood, rugs layered two and three deep, and pierced brass lanterns that throw patterns across the ceiling once the sun goes down. It is relaxed and a little sensual on purpose. Everything sits low, everything is soft, and the bed, under a sheer canopy, is where the whole room leans.
Every color does a job.
Warm, low and unhurried. Boho Riad feels like a room you stumbled into on a long trip and never wanted to leave, with nowhere to be until morning.

Boho Riad, in the room.
The same room, by day and by night.
Nothing in this room sits high or hard. You sink into it. The canopy turns the bed into a room inside the room, the cushions pull you down to the floor, and the lantern light moves across skin the way it moves across the walls. It is a room built for lying close and taking your time, the two of you and no one else.
Turn off every overhead light. Put two or three lanterns low, on the floor or a side table, so their patterns land on the walls and ceiling. Add a cluster of pillar candles, flameless if you might doze off, and one small lamp with a warm bulb near the bed. A string of tiny warm lights tucked into the canopy is the finishing touch.
