Moroccan Style Decorating in Your Home

The Maids • Jun 24, 2013

Trends are fluid—like fashion trends, decorating trends come and go, and it can be downright exhausting trying to keep up. Instead of trying to update your home’s style every time there’s a new trend, find a particular style or time period you like and let that become your focus.

For instance, these tips from Lifestyle will help you create a Moroccan feel in your home that you’re sure to love from day one!

Colors & Patterns

Moroccan style is usually a foundation of earthy tones with layers of colors and patterns ranging from crimson red and deep orange to golden yellow and sky blue turquoise. Patterns, especially woven or painted, can be found in the Moroccan style as well, and you can find fabrics that go with the theme.

Texture is important, as well; so pay attention to the fabrics you bring into the space. See how they feel to touch and to sit on.

Tiles & Rugs

Tiles are popular in a Moroccan-style design, especially floor tiles. This is mostly because tiles are cool on your feet, but this can be a big step if you’re used to hardwood or carpet. However, because everyone else is also used to hardwood and carpet, tiles guarantee a more unique finish to your space.

Rugs are popular, too; but not just as floor coverings! They are also used as wall hangings or blankets, inspired by rugs made with significant cultural patterns and designs. 

Furniture

Focus on comfort for your furniture. Match it to the anchored earth tones or the accent colors, and feel the fabric. If you’re satisfied, then start adding cushions to your space. Big cushions, small cushions, even floor cushions are great choices, and they can make for a comfortable, relaxing time spent together.

With comfort in mind, ottomans are another great choice, for sitting, foot rests, and even in place of end tables. Versatile, comfortable, and available in a variety of types, colors, and textures to go with your theme, you will quickly find yourself in love with your ottomans.
