Create a Luxuriously Exotic Bathroom

Ever wanted to float away to far off luxury in exotic places? Ever think of creating a bathroom that will help you do just that, even if only in your dreams? The bathroom decor is one area of the house where you can dress it up to fit your dreams, and incorporating luxury in little details is often best appreciated.

People escape from stress in the warm waters of their shower and bathtub... in fact it is a recommended, easy way to get rid of stress. Why not create an environment that pampers your psyche as well as your physique? A hint of Moroccan Style might be just the ticket.

Tile Will Create the Look

tilesMany bathrooms have tile either on the floor, the walls, or in the shower or tub surround. Sometimes encasing all of those areas. Ceramic tiles, whether using a solid color or the decorative ones, will help create a truly Moroccan style, especially if you are starting from scratch or completely renovating a bathroom.

Consider incorporating tile into the look.

Moroccan Blue is Restful

If you see the similarity between French Provence patterns and some of those in Morocco , it is not by accident, and you aren't imagining things. Morocco had a great deal of French influence.

"Provence enjoyed prosperity in the 19th century; the ports of Marseille and Toulon connected Provence with the expanding French Empire in North Africa and the Orient, especially after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869." -Provence

Stencil It

The look of tile on a painted wall

It isn't a cheap trick, but an ingenious way to insert the look of Moroccan tiles in an otherwise modern nondescript painted wall. Simply use your own elbow grease and paint the colors you desire.

Start with a few Moroccan Look Details

Moroccan interiorLighting is an easy way to dress up a bathroom.



Towels are another simple way to give the nuance of style as well as incorporate your colors into the bathroom. Did you decided on your color scheme? Use towels to accent or harmonize the colors and style that you have chosen.



While blue and white are mainly featured here, another look centered around the colors green, caramel, or Moroccan red could also be chosen ( and the palette is not limited to only those choices.) In any case, medallion designs are common in the look and this type of accessory, the toilet tattoo, may be just the touch you are looking for:



What Are We Looking For?
Remembering the materials commonly found in Moroccan interiors helps with putting together a look. Besides the colorful tiles and patterned fabrics, brass or embossed metal accessories might be found along with intricately ornamented metal work of different types. There is a lot of decoration packed into this design style! The key to harmonizing the many elements is scale, along with toned down, naturally derived pigments. The brightest colors in Moroccan decorative patterns are often paired with white or alabaster.

It Can Be Simple

It Can Be Luxe

As you can see, a few luxurious details in characteristic materials and colors can create a whole atmosphere. Although there are many examples of layered decorative patterns, there are also an equal number of examples of Moroccan styled baths with simple color and decorative choices. Here the decorative pieces are limited to lighting and the mirrors. The overall effect is stunning and restful at the same time.

I do believe the arched doorway is crucial to the effect, here. Without that design clue, much of the Marrakesh effect would be gone. Attention to those architectural details when using a very simple decoration theme is important. You can make up for a lack of architectural decor by using more patterned accessories in fabric and fixtures.

About Me

I am on a quest. My quest is to create 31 lenses surrounding one topical theme - in this case the Belly Dance..It is the dance of the Middle East and Northern Africa, where we find a thread of designs influenced by the Islamic cultures of those areas. I hope you enjoy exploring these cultures with me. And maybe even enough to decorate your bath in Moroccan style!
