Whilst Moroccan inspired decor may be extravagant, lavish and rich it is still very much comfortable, relaxing and plush too. When buying sitting furniture you need to opt for upholstered pieces that look extremely comfortable and feel even more so.

Moroccan interior design is all about colour, colour and more colour. Don’t hold back. This is an interior style for the vibrant, lively and energetic. From beautiful blues to exotic oranges; the options are vast.

Courtyards.

If you truly want to emulate the Moroccan feel then privacy is imperative. Most traditional Moroccan homes have a courtyard rather than a front or back yard. It provides the home owner with a greater level of peace. Nonetheless, you definitely don’t have to be discrete in terms of style. Colourful cushions and a outdoor water fountain is the ideal way to finish off this trend.

Rugs.
