Product Information

Mother of Pearl furniture, although usually from the Sub-Continent, also evokes Moroccan style as it mimics their beautiful tiles. When partnered with simple lanterns and Moroccan inspired rugs you achieve the look of this style.

Intricately carved timber panels are an integral part of Moroccan architecture and are used in doors, windows and screens as well as furniture and accessories. Photographer: Toa Heftiba Using local stone and resources in our building projects is something we should all be aiming to do. In this way a property sits naturally in the landscape and immediately belongs. Beautifully evocative, Moroccan style is simply stunning. The richness of the colours, the classic lines of the architecture and the exotic furniture designs make this one of the most interesting of all the global decorating styles. Difficult to replicate in its entirety, there are nonetheless many features from this look that we can introduce into our own homes, wherever we may be in the world.Walls in Morocco can also be whitewashed with accents of green which is the colour of Islam and blue, a traditional colour throughout the Mediterranean. The general lifestyle of Morocco also sets the tone for the colour palette with the strong and bright colours of the marketplaces, where tables heave with natural produce and exotic brightly coloured spices. Mirrors are typically framed with embossed cool metallic finishes which bring a cool contrast to the richness of the palette. The casual breezy beach house in the above image has taken its cue from the colours and design of Morocco. The silvery tones combined with the Moroccan style tile and the ornate counter stools evoke the look without the full rush of colour.

The appeal of Moroccan style to designers around the globe probably stems from the influence that France had on the country, particularly in the early part of the twentieth century. The colours, designs and architecture created by the Moors across North Africa have been tempered here by French design and the outcome from this fusion of two beautiful styles is magnificent. Introducing some fretwork and Moroccan style lanterns into a bathroom brings a Bohemian feel to the space. Convivial spaces that typically include a multitude of seating options for gathering with friends and family, Moroccan living rooms often feature loungey, low-slung banquette-like wrap-around upholstered sofas accented with large coffee tables or multiple small tables for taking tea or sharing meals. Additional seating options often include classic Moroccan embroidered leather or textile floor poufs, carved wood or sculptural metal chairs, and stools. Perforated and patterned, Moroccan metal pendant lights and sconces are known for their sculptural look and for casting magical shadow patterns when illuminated at night. Moroccan textiles include throw pillows in a multitude of textures, colors, and patterns, woven throws, and Berber rugs that work in traditional settings, midcentury modern interiors where they were wildly popular, and add flair to contemporary homes around the world.Bohemian style, a current universal favourite, owes a lot to Moroccan style. Floor cushions, Moroccan patterned rugs, low seating, Kilim cushions and soft chalky white walls are all elements of Bohemian style and have a firm connection with Morocco. Image: Home-designing.com Limewash paints bloom, particularly when applied in warm climates and the bloom (variation in the colour) is more prominent in darker tones. This finish gives you a soft, imperfect look, which if you are evoking a Moroccan style, you really do need. The same rich colours in a solid paint finish can appear harsh and too vibrant. Image: Porters Paints Baroque carving and tile are characteristic of Moroccan tables, side tables, and storage units. Saying that is like saying “Water is wet,” and expecting the listener to understand the vastness of the ocean. The tile tops can be geometric designs or historical scenes. Sage green is an on-trend colour in 2021 and a perfect choice for a front door, even if it isn't as stunning as the one above! A good match would be Dulux Willow Leaf.
