In my previous posts I talked a lot about Moroccan interior design and posted several photos of large Moroccan houses. With that in mind, I will talk about what makes Moroccan interior design so great. You’re probably looking forward to designing your entire home in the Moroccan flair, or maybe you’re just looking for a single piece that complements what you’ve been working on for a while. In either case, you need to know the following:

First, when choosing a lamp that matches the colors of the walls and furniture in your room, think about how you can match it with the rest. The combination of that Moroccan pendant lamp and other small items will make your room look even better. Let’s say Regina who lives in San Francisco, for example, has chosen white as the color of the walls, and light blue for the sofa (which is not a normal sofa, it is an authentic Moroccan sofa) and red for the carpet. If you add another color, the room will look messy even when it isn’t. So buying that white, blue or red flashlight is not going to affect the number of colors. Also, think about where to put the flashlight, in the center or in the corner. and think about how that will affect the lighting in the room.

Having the necessary elements will not magically turn your room into a great bazaar, you have to know how to handle the mix of things and thus you will make a difference in your home.

Second, the carpet you want to use, what color should it be? I don’t think you have to spend a lot of time on this one, because most Moroccan and other Middle Eastern rugs are red, and that will make it easier for you to choose a rug. The questions here will be how big should it be? if you choose a lot of little ones, you probably want to know where to put each one.

There is a simple answer to all these questions, it all depends on how you want the room to look. For more items and a rich texture, choose 2 or 3 rugs and place one under the sofa, one under the table, and one under the TV.

If you like simplicity like I do, you should get a large rug, and it will be up to your creativity to decide where to place it.
