Zellige, lanterns and layered pattern in warm light.

Moroccan

Moroccan style layers pattern, color and texture: zellige tile, pierced metal lanterns, carved wood, arches, low seating and rugs with character. It is rich without being formal. It suits bathrooms and kitchens, where the tile shines, and living rooms built for lounging.

Try first

Cheapest first. Each is something you could do this weekend, or say to Room AI now.

1 Put zellige or patterned tile in one place, a backsplash or a shower wall; it does more than anything else.
2 Add one pierced brass lantern and dim everything else.
3 Layer a Moroccan rug, cream with black lines or bright and patchy, over whatever floor you have.
4 Add a leather pouf and more cushions than seems reasonable.

What spoils it

The three things that turn Moroccan into something else.

Too many bright colors at once; anchor with cream and terracotta.
Glossy modern finishes.
Printed "Moroccan" patterns on plastic; the style is handmade.
