Home Decorating With a Moroccan Theme

A Moroccan theme is a beautiful & exotic addition to almost any home decorating plan. With the beautiful colors, rich textures, and lush fabrics there is no doubt as to the reason that this style of decorating is becoming so popular around the world. These are some of the most beautiful and in some ways the most exotic styles of decorating that you will find around the world. 

The Moroccan style is quite lovely and includes many bold colors and textures to keep not only your eyes occupied but also your other senses as well. The good news is that it is bold enough that it is still relatively new as far as decorating styles within NZ goes. This means that you aren't likely to have the identical interior decor of your neighbor, friends, or family down the road. Even if they love what you have done and want to imitate it within their own homes, chances are they will not choose the exact designs, patterns, colors, and textures that you have chosen since there are so many fabulous things from which to choose. 

Lanterns are perhaps my favorite touch from this part of the world. They are beautiful and very versatile. They can be used for almost anything. I have seen stunning brass lanterns, tin candle lamps, goatskin floor lights, wax candle holders & wall sconces that are all 100% handcrafted. In fact, this style of lighting is growing in popularity around the world in recent years. 

Fabrics used in Moroccan design and home decor are among some of the most stunningly beautiful fabrics you will find in the world. In fact, many people decide on this sort of theme for the fabric alone and even many who have passed on a Moroccan theme for their homes have still managed to squirrel away some of the fabric in order to create beautiful pillows and curtains. The fabrics are worth taking a look even if you aren't seriously considering incorporating this style of design into your home decorating plans. 

One thing that very few people complain about however is the rugs. Moroccan rugs are by no means inexpensive but they are most definitely worth every penny paid for them when they are made well. These are some of the most highly prized and sought after rugs around the world not only for the richness of their colors but also for the uniqueness of their design. 

Other Moroccan home accents include the much loved leather pouf, decadent tea glasses and silver tea pots, silver trays, beautiful ceramics from Fes and Safi which can be hung on the wall and so much more. You can really go to town with Moroccan decor, or you can just add a couple of pieces for a dash of exotic flavour.

Be sure to consider the value that a Moroccan decorating style could add to your enjoyment of your home. While it isn't for everyone as a whole, there may be bits and pieces that are absolutely perfect for you.
