Life at Home in Morocco
We believe that home is the most important place in the world. That’s why we regularly visit people where they live, to find out what they need and dream about when it comes to life at home. Some aspects of home life are shared the world over, like sleeping and eating; and some are shaped by culture and traditions, what the weather is like, and how much space there is.
So the more we learn, the more we can inspire and enable people to make their life at home that little bit better, no matter where or how they live.
