Bella Notte spring introductions inspired by North Africa

• January 15, 2021

Leeta Steenwyk, Bella Notte’s design director, described the North African inspiration for Taline.

“Morocco has a long, rich history in its architecture and interiors. The luxurious riads and palaces are crafted with dramatic lines and intricate details yet there is a sense of spaciousness and harmony. It’s this balance, along with the finest artisan materials, which lends a feeling of elegance,” she said.

Poppy, a radiant new color, joins the Bella Notte palette of custom dyes.

“We were inspired by the vibrant spice markets of Morocco to add a warm luscious hue, but looked closer to home for the specific color,” said Steenwyk. “While most people are familiar with the paler California poppy, there is also a red California poppy, which is actually a deep orange. These bloom on the hillsides and glow vibrantly in the evening sun.”

Poppy is found between Rouge and Rosegold on the Bella Notte spectrum of 17 non-toxic dyes.

Ines is an original Bella Notte textile design. Its thick cotton embroidery on midweight linen was inspired by the geometric patterns in Moroccan fabrics. The Ines collection has been expanded to now include a personal comforter, guest towel, lumbar, accent  and 24? square pillows.

With the expansion of decorative pillow and personal comforter collections, Bella Notte now creates products that can be incorporated throughout the home, in living spaces as well as bedrooms and bathrooms, the company noted.
