Magic Pouf

You can place a Moroccan pouf almost anywhere in your home, and it instantly adds magic to the space. The pouf has been a Moroccan tradition for hundreds of years, serving as a fancy footstool or floor seating option. But, why not give the furnishing accessory a new twist as an alternative to the end-of-bed bench or a coffee table, throw some magazines on top and pouf –you have a new feature to admire.

Throw In Some Pillows

Who doesn’t love a cultured cushion?! Decorative, detailed and definitely a décor must-have, Moroccan throw pillows add a hint of North African charm to your abode, without going full bohemian-chic. So pile up the patterned pillows, add a pop of colour and get on board with trendy tassels.

Bring The Outdoors In

Moroccan décor brings the outdoors in, which is so relatable in a Middle Eastern climate. Consider carrying garden furniture and outdoor lanterns into your indoor space; add baskets, woven wood and plenty of potted greenery for an idyllic oasis effect. Floor cushions also work well and hanging plants always bring a space to life –even faux flowers can make your home flourish.

Jewell Tones

From emeralds to rubies and sapphire blues, these tones will add a unique sparkle to your space, and add an Arabian flair throughout. Mix up the vibrant colours or stick to one shade.

Tile Haven

The Moroccan-style tile is especially eye-catching, from the floors to the walls; it’s a signature statement in any Moroccan space. Although we can’t all fill our apartments with geometric tiles, consider making a feature with the design –whether it’s in artwork, the bathroom or the kitchen.

Layered Textures

Moroccan design is all about texture, as you need to weave this essential element into rooms through blankets, linens, pillows, wall hangings, rugs and an endless array of patterns. Don’t be afraid to clash, sometimes the busier the better when it comes to textural trends! If you don’t want to be too bold, consider textures with the same colour pattern –so you can still create the desire impact, but with stylish monochrome look.

Subtle Shades

You don’t have to introduce crazy colours to pull off the Moroccan décor trend, as subtle shades can work just as well. Choose a lighter rug with a subtle pattern, opt for earthy tones in two or three colours and add textured, yet neutral, fabrics to the wall –for an understated touch that still has an inspired impact.
