Infuse your space with the captivating colors, intricate textiles, and soulful energy of Morocco, curated in these pieces that seamlessly blend tradition with modernity.

Create a Casual Hangout on the Floor

Doesn’t this spot make you smile? These colorful handmade pillows will enliven any drab corner that needs spring cheer. You can find this electrifying bunch at Montreal’s Baba Souk, which sells rugs and other authentic Moroccan pieces. We like how the larger, quieter pillows balance the brightness.

Put Up Your Feet on a Pouf (or Two)

Floor cushions are hugely popular in Morocco. They can be earthy-toned and square, made of traditional kilim rugs, like this rustic one here, or neon pink for a more modern feel. Or go on and inject playful sass with this vegan leather gold pouf. The bright nubby rugs are also a fast way to bring fun colour to a white space.

Go for a Beautiful Rug

Morocco is famous for its Beni Ourain carpets that add a simple yet sophisticated look to any room. Here’s an interesting fact: the Beni Ourain tribe believed the carpets could ward off evil, so they incorporated design elements to bring good luck. This interpretation from West Elm is made of 100% wool.

Use a Pouf for Extra Seating or as a Coffee Table

Here are some other poufs we’re crushing on. Those colours! That height! Those hand-embroidered star patterns! Toss one in a corner and use it as extra seating or a makeshift coffee table. Just add a tray on top – a perfect solution if you have toddlers and you’re avoiding furniture with sharp edges.

Create an Eye-Catching Outdoor Vignette

Patterns on simple forms are a signature of Moroccan furnishings, as seen on this gorgeous indoor-outdoor table that sports a top modeled after traditional Moroccan tilework. The chairs, curated by Tracey Boyd for Anthropologie, feature woven seats and backs inspired by the curved shield of the Maasai tribe of Kenya and Tanzania.

Have a Tea Party in Pretty Glassware

The ritual of tea is steeped in Moroccan culture. Watching someone pour an arc of the sweetened minty liquid out of a teapot is theatre itself. So maybe you aren’t hitting Casablanca anytime soon, but you can bring the vibe home with elegant Moroccan tea glasses, pots, and silver trays. Use the glassware to drink, as candle votives, or as sophisticated party favors. Each tea glass is hand-painted by an artisan.

Update Your Bathroom in a Moorish Style

In this Moorish bathroom from Casablanca Market, an elaborately detailed sink paired with accessories, including hammam hand towels and chunky bars of soap, has a rich, warm feel. Psst… the sink also comes in a stunning orange or turquoise.

Install a Pair of Marrakech Curtains

A favorite way to bring Morocco home is through its textiles. The contrast of the cobalt blue against the cream in these Marrakech curtains from Anthropologie is everything! Intricately embroidered graphic panels take their cue from the lush textiles that grace the soaring windows of traditional Moroccan architecture.

Put Your Souk Essentials on the Wall

Moroccan design celebrates the colorful beauty and transformative effect of its spices on cuisine. (If you’re a minimalist who tucks everything away, this look isn’t for you). We love this folksy, crafted wooden spice rack that’s just waiting to be filled with coriander, ginger, turmeric, and ras el hanout.

Display a Clay Tagine

You didn’t think we’d forget a tagine, did you? Perhaps the most recognizably Moroccan cooking vessel, the cone-shaped clay pot looks beautiful as a piece of pottery on its own, but even better when filled with an actual tagine (the aromatic Maghrebi stew).

Primp Your Bed in a Moroccan Duvet

From the shapely headboard to the bright bedspread, this bedroom from the home-textiles shop Saffron Marigold has a comfortable Moorish aesthetic that makes Moroccan decor appealing. We love the regal boho bedspread with vintage print and medallions rendered in ivory, fuchsia, ochre, and turquoise.

Get Lit With Lanterns

For a charming look, string up colorful, perforated tin lights on your patio. Inspired by Moroccan and Mughal artwork, these Raya glass lanterns each fit a tea light and has an antique zinc finish. They look fab in bunches!

Use Concrete Tile in the Bathroom

Marrakech-based Popham Design makes traditional Moroccan concrete tiles that feel fresh and modern and are total scene-stealers. Case in point: this amazing green-tiled bathroom, where the tub is also lashed in the hue for a magical, monochromatic effect.

Hang Up and Intricate Mirror

Bring some Moroccan love to your wall with this intricate black mirror made of metal. Or maybe a simpler, Arabesque quatrefoil mirror is more to your taste?
