Moroccan Influence in Modern Interiors
Last week I was vacationing in Northwest Florida and came across a fantastic clubhouse at Alys Beach. The design was heavily influenced by Moroccan architecture and I found it very inspiring. I really enjoy eclectic styles that combine classic Moroccan elements such as intricate patterns or bold colors with a simplified modern approach.
Donghia is a vendor we often use that offers a wide range of fabrics with Moroccan influence. They use bright colors, fun patterns, and a variety of texture to achieve a whimsical feel.
Mosaic tiles are a huge part of Moroccan design and really punch up a space. Although costly, they last a lifetime and instantly transform a space. These mosaics from Sahara Designs would be great in a ceiling detail, as flooring, or even as wall accents.
The wood side tables are from Baker’s Studio Collection, and are very simple but the carved detailing makes them interesting and eclectic.
The white lanterns below are by Wunderly and have peirced patterned detailing that screams Morocco. These would really make a statment hanging in multiples at varying heights.
Southwest Florida is a great place to use the modern Moroccan style because you can keep it light and airy, while adding pops of bright color that we love to see in Florida interiors.
This grasscloth wallcovering from Philip Jeffries would be great in a Florida home. It is casual, cool, and yet Moroccan – fantastic!
