Moroccan Style

Designer Nicole Yee, of NY Interiors, created this open porch for a client who wanted to enjoy a quiet shady spot. The antique Moroccan furniture was coated with urethane to prolong its life in the outdoors. The outdoor-friendly pillows, cushions and trim are made by Duralee, and the custom draperies are from Sunbrella. An outdoor rug, zinc candleholders, metal art and plantings finish the look.
