In the eventful history of the North African nation of Morocco, various cultures, civilizations and religions have played important roles and also left their mark there. From the native Berbers to the Arabs and from the Romans and Spanish, the country also welcomed numerous other visitors to its territory over many centuries. It's no wonder that this culture is so rich in so many different nuances. Their architecture is rich, lively and inspired by very different sources. The Moroccan style of decorating embodies elements of many other cultures. The oriental living rooms in particular look exciting, exuberant and very mystical.
The Moroccan style- rich in textures and colors
Filled with bright, magnetic colors, with intricate onesgeometric patterns, plush carpets, lanterns, lights and comfortable ottomans, the Moroccan style inspires everyone to be bold and extravagant when it comes to furnishings and decoration. Here is a collection of some amazing living spaces that showcase the timeless spirit of this home decor in different ways and show it to today's world.
Modern interpretations
The Moroccan style for the classic living room seems like an undiminished celebration of life with its bright colors and diverse textures in abundance. But we'll talk about that a little later. Most homeowners just want a touch ofMoroccan charmin their rooms. At the same time, however, they want to maintain the elegant, fresh, contemporary character of the house. This can be achieved by using bright color accents, which look great against the cool, neutral background in the living room. Of course, there are many ways to incorporate these into the ambience. Beautiful throw and floor cushions, ornate curtains, traditional rugs and cozy decor in bright red, yellow and blue hues are seen everywhere here and these bold elements are taking over the scene!
Geometric patterns and bright accents
The use of fascinating geometric patterns and bright accents is a popular current trend. This makes the oriental room look elegant and modern, and at the same time typically Moroccan! Large mirrors and sparkling surfaces can also accentuate this appeal without seeming out of place. In fact, we see how classic Hollywood Regency designs and Moroccan style go hand in hand in a glamorous living room! Isn't that surprising?
Colorful and classic!
Do you feel like deviating from European interior design and bringing an exotic touch to your interior? Then welcome these classic interior design suggestions! The first thing you need to do is choose the background color for your living area. That's the big difference between incorporating such elements into a modern interior and opting for a specific motif. The neutral background in white or cream is simply no longer sufficient! Warm yellows and burnt oranges are often the preferred color choices. For those who want to have a “Mediterranean feel” in their living rooms, aqua, turquoise or teal are appropriate alternatives.
Luxury at home
Don't hesitate to fill the room with luxurious decor in contrasting colors and heavy patterns if you want to achieve an authentic Moroccan look. Curtains inspired by desert life in the Middle East, such as natural greenery, arches and keyhole windows, and other elements of classic Middle Eastern architecture add an ornate appeal to the living room.
When decorating, you should avoid using side tables and other additional tables. Beautifully carved wooden decorations, colorful finds from the local flea market with an oriental flair and great stools tend to have their place in this ambience. And while you focus your attention on decoration, textiles and colors, don't forget the role of lighting. Because these play a very important role in achieving the real mood. Actually, lights such as lanterns are the detail that is most associated with this culture. When you see a lamp like this, you can tell the whole room is truly Moroccan!
Pure light
The extraordinary and inimitable Moroccan lights fulfill a dual function in the living space, they are brilliant sculptural additions even when they are not switched on. Combine them with the other generally recognized characteristics of the vintage style, with appropriate rugs for example, and half your job would already be done! Stimulating, inviting and sometimes simply majestic, the living rooms represent an expressive oasis of color and creativity.
Clean touch with Arabic flair

If you want to implement the oriental decor in your modern living room, then you should work with colors. Oriental colors are intense and have a great impact in the interior. These primarily include yellow, red, orange, green and azure blue. It may be possible to combine modern and Moroccan styles in furnishings, but only if the right colors are used. Even if the walls and ceiling are white, you can give the living area an oriental flair with furnishings in the appropriate colors.
Fairytale house
The Moroccan style adds a touch of exoticism to any room. With bold colors, beautiful textiles and wooden furnishings, your apartment will look like a palace from “1001 Nights”. For a completely authentic look, every element plays an important role - from the wall design to the small stool in the living area. The decorations on furniture and windows play a big role here and should definitely be part of the furnishings. Popular motifs for this are flowers, tendrils and, above all, motifs that are borrowed from nature.
Oriental modern
More and more interior designers are trying to implement the oriental decor in modern interior design. The result is a kind of mixture that speaks for an unusual interior design. Elements that are often used in such an interior are oriental carpets and pendant lights. They have a specific design and therefore immediately indicate the Orient.

Like any home decor, oriental and Moroccan interior designs also have certain elements that are fundamental to them. These are primarily items that are used in decoration. The decorative basics for this furnishing style include comfortable floor cushions and poufs in the typical colors, hanging lights with an unusual design, and various vessels made of silver, copper and brass. Wooden screens are another popular decorative idea that can also serve as a room divider in a larger room.

If you would like to furnish your apartment according to this concept, you can create a separate seating area. A carpet with several floor cushions and a low table in the middle are essential. You can separate the area from the rest of the apartment with organza canopies. Continue to provide appropriate lighting that creates a warm glow in this area. With such an oasis of peace and relaxation in your own home, you don't have to worry about stress.
Decorate your living room with an Arabic flair
The Souq Lighting
To invite the Orient into your own four walls, you don't necessarily have to furnish the entire room like this. Rather, you can place different elements from the same style in the room from time to time, which only give an oriental flair. You decide for yourself whether a carpet, a beautiful glass chandelier or a sofa with such patterns.
You live in Gonen
The Moroccan style is characterized by vibrant colors and beautiful patterns. If you want to add a touch of such flair to your own living room, then you can choose such a wall color. Since this has a lot to do with nature, green is a perfect color for the walls and furnishings. Combine with bright yellow and orange to create a harmonious ambience.

With a successful combination of different colors and patterns for interior design, you can invite them into your own home. The easiest way to do this is with the right textiles. The Moroccan style uses a lot of silk, organza, cotton and brocade. Upholstered furniture and beautiful curtains are therefore a must for a real oriental flair. Use as many colors as possible that coordinate well with each other. Collect even more inspiration from our picture gallery.
