Before: Sapna Patel and Vishal Singh wanted to bring the world to them by creating a Moroccan-themed living room, but all these globetrotters managed to make was a world-class design disaster.

After: Inspired by the existing maroon walls, they add a beautiful blend of jeweled tones with intricate gilded patterns. A breathtaking tent with shimmering orange fabric adds Moroccan flair to the space.
World travelers Sapna Patel and Vishal Singh wanted the vivid colors, cozy seating and intricate patterns of Moroccan design in their living room. However, the end result is a room with no seating and a tent made of cardboard. Designer Valerie Bickford, carpenter Jason Ferris and design coordinator Vanessa Price step in to create a Moroccan VIP living room. By adding flowing fabrics, intricate patterns and low seating, the family can now enjoy their own private palace.
