Moroccan Magic

After your stay in one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world, bring some Moroccan magic home with you.

The timeless style and warm, welcoming feel of Morocco can become a part of your home with just a few adjustments that won’t break the bank, or risk a spike in your home insurance premiums.

The fusion of Arab, Spanish, French art deco and Berber style bring a worldly, well-travelled sophistication to your home. Just a few simple accessories can change the whole feel of your room, and all you really need to create a Moroccan wonderland is an authentic throw rug, pillows, lanterns and whatever other items you picked up on your trip. Bold colours and soft furnishings form an integral part of the look.

Hand carved Moroccan doors, hand-woven carpets, finely painted tiles, leather goods and silver tea sets can all be used, but keep it simple and only use a few Moroccan elements to avoid crowding the space.

North African colours are warm and earthy, with splashes of bright oasis colours such as blue, green and red. Textures and patterns are big and bold, and ornaments are ornate and dark. A delicate fountain or a decorative lantern will bring the sights and sound of Morocco into your home, as will a pretty tea set or a Moroccan inspired wallpaper or tiled border.

If you haven’t made it to Morocco just yet, there are a wealth of online Moroccan decor stores which will ship over the most beautiful items. Compare prices, as you would home insurance offers, and find the best deal on an item before you buy.
