Description

Moroccan living rooms have long been a well of inspiration for interior designers across the globe, and many traditional Moroccan decor objects have become signature elements of modern interiors everywhere. The bright, highly saturated, colour in the palette is derived from the beautiful intricate designs of the tiles which adorn many surfaces, horizontal and vertical, both inside and outside. Cobalt blue, bright red and emerald green are typical colours used in Moroccan tiles and inject stunning uplifting hues into the earthy heart of the colour scheme.

Even in a very contemporary setting these inclusions evoke Moroccan style and bring a touch of the exotic to an otherwise sleek and modern look. 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. 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.

Traditionally Moroccan homes are built around a central courtyard. Running water from central or wall mounted fountains, open walkways, decorative tiled walls and lots of greenery to cool things down, are features of a Moroccan home. A mixture of natural timber, handmade tiles and natural stone are typically found in these settings. Image: Royal Mansour Hotel Morocco undoubtedly has one of the most evocative colour palettes as colour is intrinsic to the way of life there. Conjure up images of exotic spice markets with terracotta bowls laden with cinnamon, turmeric, saffron and nutmeg and you have the foundations of a typical Moroccan palette. Terracotta derived from the natural clay of the country ranges from soft pink to a deep fiery red ensuring this is also one of the warmest colour palettes around. Photographer Akhil Chandran 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. 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. 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.

Introducing some fretwork and Moroccan style lanterns into a bathroom brings a Bohemian feel to the space. 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 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.

Porters limewash and distemper finishes would work well in this situation as they create a soft and weathered patina. Their colours of Fired Earth, Turmeric, Vatican Blue and Villa are perfect examples of classic Moroccan hues. One of the simplest ways to evoke a Moroccan style is to replicate the colour palette. The thing I love about regional styles is that rather than adopting what is popular at the time, they take their colour palette from local resources and therefore the style naturally works in their environment.

Floor Lamps

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.

By simply introducing the unmistakeable Moroccan shapes into a scheme you can bring a striking look to an all white scheme. However you can see that even with a contemporary built bathroom or kitchen with classic, simple straight lines, you can introduce a touch of Morocco with their tiles. The design and colour palette of Morocco is soft and relaxed and can therefore be incorporated very well into many global styles including Australian country style.

Moroccan Architecture

Walls are often in natural terracotta tones with furniture and accessories in brighter colours – very often blue and green. 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
