Moroccan Style Living Room

By Darren Hartley


A Moroccan style living room reflects Morocco's rich culture in its alluring interior design style. It is characterized by vibrant colors and exquisite furnishings. A living room can be inspired by this North African country through the addition of a Moroccan flair to the home. The transformation of a living area to a lavish desert tent can be achieved with jewel-toned fabrics draped loosely over the walls.

Attention to detail is a primary concern in a exotic Moroccan style living room. With 1x1 inch Moroccan hand cut tiles laid facedown onto them, panels are tightly secured to the walls. Fretwork canopy panels and luxurious chaises are custom designed. The ceiling is usually made of plaster.

A Moroccan style living room features an intricacy in its tile work, which is a distinct characteristic in its design. However, for homeowners on a budget, an inexpensive and DIY-friendly alternative to zillij-inspired tiles are stencils. A graphic pattern stencilled in black can transform a simple white fireplace surround into a striking focal point.

Bold patterns are normal features in a Moroccan style living room. Moroccan interior design use patterns that resemble the dramatic arches prevalent in Moroccan architecture. Drawing inspiration from the captivating architecture of the country is often reflected in Moroccan furnishings.

A Moroccan style living room cannot do without its own version of art works. The distinctive furniture of this northern African country is intricately carved and hand painted in elaborate motifs. They are well known for their unparalleled artisanship and strict attention to detail.

A Moroccan style living room can also be a relaxing lounge. It can exude comfort and luxury by layering it with plush rugs and draped fabrics as well as pillows and cushions in abundance. A custom made corner bed scattered with pillows provide an invitation for sitting back and unwinding. The exotic ambience of the room can be enhanced with a brass chandelier and an oversized inlaid mirror.
