The Moroccan interior design style [1 minute read]

Other than the tropical interior design style, Moroccan is another uncommon style in Singapore.

Morocco is situated in North Africa, between Europe and Africa, with coastlines running along both the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Heavily influenced by the many cultures surrounding it, Moroccan decor blends styles from France, Portugal and Spain. It also bears Islamic, Mediterranean, African and Persian influence.

The style’s use of saturated colours and intricate patterns is a welcome refuge for those who find today’s interior design too “beigy”. When mentioned, the Moroccan style conjures up images of beautiful spice gardens, quaint and ornate fountains and lovely, well manicured riads.

It is largely characterised by:

• Intricate carvings

• Arched door ways

• Strong jewel-tone fabrics

• Furniture with elaborately wrought iron scrollwork, mother of pearl inlay, ornately carved wood and intricate mosaic or terra cotta tile details

• Low backrests with no armrests

• Lamps and pendants made from coloured glass and cut metal

• Beni Ourain area rugs

• Overhead canopies

• Sensual Moroccan scent

• Wall mirrors
