Be inspired by Moroccan style

Follow these tips to give you home an exotic Moroccan look

Use natural textures Soft mineral colours, the natural finishes of linen, stone and wood and accessories with a touch of intricate fretwork pattern are all you need to give your rooms the modern Moroccan look.

Go for geometric patterns Mix large zigzags with smaller intricate patterns in similar muted colours for an easy yet effective layered look.

Add a glint of silver Hammered metal and silver filigree are key to the style so create the look with shiny sequins and metallic trimmings on cushions and throws.
