With several official languages, Morocco is a crossroad of many cultures and styles.Often used as a source of inspiration for painters, writers and hippies, Morocco can be seen as a captivating oasis. The Moroccan style is now hot in the US, imposing its magic in the exclusive pueblo designed homes of Santa Fe including California and its introduction into New York, Florida, chicago, and Texas.
Long on coastal seas, backed into desert and baked under a relentless sun, Moroccans take inspiration from the colors their geography provides.

Hot, vibrant oranges and reds are refreshed by deep blues and sparkling greens of the sea. Ochre mountain ranges, silvery moonlit desert-scapes and golden sands. Colors in abundance as you’ve never used before.

Mediterranean lighting
Deep blue for example isn’t reserved for accents. It can provide the dramatic backdrop for an entire room arrangement of darkened wood furnishings, terra cotta tile, and accenting multi-colored oriental rugs. Adornments of jewel-like glass works, bold patterned fabrics in sea and sand inspired colors draped from the walls and for oversized pillows.
Decorative accessories are the finishing touches of any interior design theme and can help pull your Moroccan decorating theme together. Adding exotic decorative items will help boost the colorful and exotic charm of room design, making it feel like exotic days. Adding decorative accessories such as Moroccan lighting, Moroccan rugs, Moroccan tables, Moroccan tiles, Moroccan carved wood doors, Moroccan fabric, Moroccan furniture, knick-knacks and Moroccan pillows can help enhance your Moroccan theme decor.
one of the most interesting characteristics of this style is the rich jewel tones which go with the exotic woods and inlaid decor for a lot of impact. Get the feeling of exotic days with Moroccan decor no matter where your home is.

Moroccan lighting
Home is where the heart is but is your home missing something? Maybe what your home really needs is a little design here and there and something really classic to enhance the entire decor. If your home has the same lighting, bulbs and candle stands then how is it really different from any other home? Did you know that natural light is more relaxing than the artificial luminescence? If you didn't know this then this is the best time to bring some change. Add some magic into your home and brighten up the decor using some of the oldest methods of lighting - bring home the Moroccan Lanterns!
You are probably wondering how a lantern can change the ambience of your home. A lantern will provide a rustic look to your home. You can hang it anywhere and will look great in your living room, kitchen, bathroom, hall way as well as on the garden porch. Imagine having a dinner on the porch brightened by the subtle magnificence of the Moroccan Lantern. You need to experience it to feel the impact!

Moroccan architecture
Let's take a look at Moroccan lanterns and why they are preferred to ordinary lanterns. Moroccan lighting has been a unique home decoration concept for a long time and there are reasons for the same. Moroccan decor is not something that you will find easily in US homes as it doesn't have a deep reach. If you find a home with Moroccan decor then be rest assured that either they have traveled to Morocco to find it or they have found it through specialists like us. Moroccan Decor is rare but its uniqueness comes from the fact that it has influences of Moroccan history, culture and art. Moroccan lighting is also a part of the same influence and brings with it the geometric forms, vivid colors, and exotic interior designs, which have long been the symbol of Moroccan home decor.
