Moroccan Oasis Bedroom

Ranked #1,085 in Home & Garden, #13,990 overall

Exotic Luxury, Exciting Color, Your Own Night In Casablanca

Rich textures and patterns in colorful fabrics, low seating, ornate carving- these are some of the characteristics of furnishings for a bedroom oasis that has a Moroccan flair.

Colors? "Classic Mediterranean blue and white, to intense Delacroix red, to monochromatic yet elegant black and white" and more, from cool off whites to deep jewel tones. sparkling interiors with a bit of fantasy woven in. There is an opportunity for some shabby chic and flea market sale shopping when you put together this look, but it is an "antique" not "junk sale" look.. the faded textured pillow and rugs, the softened colors and worn places of the painted furnishing give comfort, not distress.



If you pay special attention to a few details such as side tables, decorative lighting, typically Moroccan patterned fabrics and keep the furniture on a low profile you will create a truly magnetic Marrakesh hideaway.

The Beauty of Moroccan Decor
This style is easy to pull together and it has lots of personality. With a few touches in bedding, occasional pieces, and accessories, the look can be attained. If you want something that is warm and exotic and filled with rich, luxurious comfort, then Morocaan style is for you. It can be simple, or fantastically layered, and really depends on your own decisions while putting together your space.

To simplify the design, constrain the patterns to a color harmony like blue,beige and white, or something similar, to add more complexity gather together more of the colors and add more textures and patterns. With many of the elements removable like pillows, or lanterns and mirrors, it is easy to change the space when wanting more or less pattern and visual interest.

Alberto Pinto has created this exciting purple dream of a room. It is not insipid as most lavender and purple rooms tend to be, but vibrant. It's richness gives a luxuriant feel to it. another view shows the Moroccan details of screen and mirror surrounded by five decorative plates. So easy to do, but so powerful a visual impact.

Keeping the color range harmonious, there are mixes of pattern. This is the key to mixing patterns, keeping color close and scale of the designs harmonious as well.

Details For Your Bedroom Theme

fabrics and accents

As you add accents of lanterns, a mix of traditional styled fabrics in the beautiful colors of Moroccan red, blue, and ocher... the room warms and comes alive. The ornate look of filigree stands out against starkly plain walls, sometimes painted in bright colors, or -more often- in a warm off white or creamy beige.

A place for tea things on a small table. Poufs and pillows to sit near low tables or in an alcove.



To use as a side table or to fill a corner a hexagonal shape table is a very useful and eye pleasing shape.

Behind the Veil


Hi! I love pattern, and if I had my way I would create a room filled with things from Morocco, but right now the "Beach House" look suits me best in this stage of my life. After spending time putting together this look for the lens, though, I have to say I would be tempted to redecorate if it were in my budget, since the Moroccan look is such a comfortable and inviting style, while richly artistic and exotic.

Maybe I will create this look in my living room! That is the room that needs sprucing up and I already have red walls...
