7 Ways To Create A Moroccan Themed Living Room


The living room seating is where you spend most of your time. It is also your space to play host and unwind. This makes comfort, aesthetics and quality of paramount importance when living room décor. Pastel shades and décor themes from the Moroccan postcard have always fascinated interior designers. If you aim to create a Moroccan hue in your home, here are seven ideas you can stitch together to get the vibe on point.

Upgrade Your Upholstery

Walls add character to the interior of a home. If the upholstery in your home isn't attuned to the Moroccan vibe, a refreshing change may be in order. Invest in contemporary upholstery to give your home a new look. Go for bright floral prints for a summery vibe or fun shades of blue and white to get the Moroccan vibe on point. Be sure that new upholstery will transform the entire appearance of a home's interiors, making it look straight out of a postcard from Casablanca.

TV Cabinet

TV cabinets are busy spaces in living rooms that have various gadgets, devices and storage facilities. A white TV cabinet helps create a clean and sorted silhouette that is big on storage. Interior designers and homeowners can never go wrong with simple and understated white furniture. What's more, a white TV cabinet in Australia is a perfect way to complement a Moroccan theme in your living room. Opt for a high-glass polyurethane finish for a contemporary look. Opaque soft-close drawers are great to cover crowded storage units. To make cleaning easy, go for wall-mounted designs that offer free floor access. TV cabinets are that spot in your home that enjoys maximum viewership, so make it worth the gaze with a stunning white unit!

Ditch The Clutter

Less is more - this phrase couldn't be truer when it comes to home decor. Any home can be made to match a certain theme by eliminating what's unnecessary. Clutter not only crowds your physical space but also bogs you down mentally and emotionally. Give your home a minimalistic look with simple white furniture and compact fittings. Opt for softer colours in the shade of blue or white for your curtains, rugs and more. Avoid large pieces of furniture and allow your room to give off an open airy vibe, much like the streets of Marrakesh. Follow the six months rule - if you haven't used anything in six months it needs to go! Also, follow the rule of six questions to ask yourself when cleaning your room. Not only will this make your home a more organized space, but it will also help you develop the habit of spending lesser and lesser on things you don't need. That's never a bad thing!

White Lighting

White lighting is not only pleasing to the eye but also a great neutralizing element in busy homes. Invest in white accent lights in various forms such as cove lights, spotlights and statement chandeliers. White is light is the purest source of light and hence is most suitable in spaces that demand your concentration such as kitchens, study rooms and work desks. White light also reflects beautifully on your furniture and artefacts, allowing you to focus on the best aspects of your home. What's more, it fits beautifully with the whole Moroccan vibe you wish to create.

Lounge Seating

Furniture sets the tone for the character and theme of a living room. Choose bespoke furniture options that define your sense of style and keep up with the requirements of functionality. Chaise lounges, chesterfield sofas and barrel chairs are great ideas to furnish your home with that blend with the Moroccan theme. They often have unparalleled comfort while being classic designs that never go out of style. Choose your living room furniture from a reputed manufacturer so you're certain of its durability and quality.

Invest In A Bespoke Rug

An elegant white rug is sure to add some character to your living room and complement the Moroccan theme you're going for. If you're worried about white staining easily, opt for a beige or even a deep blue to add a splash of colour. Choose a soft microfiber rug that is a pleasure to touch as well as see. Ensure you follow a good maintenance and cleaning routine for your rug so you can extend its lifespan and make it look as good as new for years to come.

Bring Home Interesting Artefacts

Sprinkle your home with miniature artefacts of Moroccan architecture such as Hassan tower or the Marrakech Palace. Morocco is laced with plenty of breathtaking architecture that you can flaunt in your home through paintings, framed photographs, table mats and more. Not only are they extremely aesthetic, but they are also great conversation starters for when you have guests over.

Wrap Up

We hope the above ideas help you curate the living room of your dreams!

Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
