How to Give Your Home a Moroccan Makeover
Moroccan Elements
The thing that first comes to mind when you hear Moroccan style is probably the elaborate rugs. Moroccan rugs feature abstract textures, colors, and geometric shapes. While these carpets probably don’t fly, that doesn’t make them any less magical. When choosing a Moroccan rug for your own home, consider these elements:
- Tilework - One of the biggest aspects of Moroccan design is the use of bright, floral textiles. You see this represented in all areas of style.
- Color - While there’s no set color scheme, Moroccans love bold, warm colors. Think deep golds and maroons.
- Lighting - Much of Moroccan design plays with light and color. Look for ways to bring out the light in your own home through light colors and shiny elements.
- Statement - Moroccan design makes a statement. Don’t be afraid to go bold!
