Moroccan Home Décor – Romance With An Exotic Touch
Moroccan home décor is the answer if you’re wondering how to turn a room into a romantic retreat but you aren’t into frills or pastels. Romance doesn’t have to be all about flowers, ruffles and satin or even about colors like pink or peach. Decorating your room with the rich, deep colors of Morocco will evoke the romantic mood of Moorish Spain, a world where Spanish charm and the mystery of Arabian knights crossed paths ages ago.
Moroccan home décor features rich, jewel-tone colors with lots of depth, including red, green, blue, gold, silver and amber. You’ll find these colors in everything from the intricately carved and painted furniture to the beautifully faceted glass and wrought iron lamps, as well as hand-woven rugs called kilims.
Moroccan furnishings also have lots of textural interest. The rugs have varying length of wool pile, the bed linens, wall hangings and pillows are richly embroidered with silk threads and the furniture is deeply carved. The tactile feel of everything is sensual and delight to the senses, adding to the romantic feel of any room that includes Moroccan pieces. It’s this wonderful combination of rich texture, color and detail that makes Moroccan home décor so romantic. It looks and feels luxurious and, and luxury is always romantic.
Romantic Moroccan Accents
Kilims, or Moroccan rugs, are one of the easiest ways to add a touch of romance to a room. These colorful rugs can change the entire look of a room, bringing in some much needed color and warming up a wood or tile floor. A quality kilim can also be the starting point for every other element in your room.
Kilims are handmade in the mountains of Morocco by women who have passed down the skill of weaving them for generations. The rugs are rich in color and feature a variety of geometric patterns. Imagine lounging on one of these soft, thick wool rugs in front of the fireplace or simply snuggling on it while watching television in the evening.
Nothing sets the mood in a room more than lighting, and Moroccan lighting options definitely say, “Romance.” You can choose wall sconces, table lamps or hanging lanterns for your room that are imported from Morocco; they will all provide soft, filtered mood lighting.
Moroccan lanterns and wall sconces feature elaborately detailed metal work that mimics the appearance of lace and is inset with stained glass, giving off warm, colored light in shades of amber, green and red. Using Moroccan lights such as these for indirect lighting instead of harsh, direct light provides a warmer, more intimate feeling in your room, which is perfect for romance.
Ottomans, also sometimes called poufs, are those wonderful, overstuffed stools that made come from Morocco that are made of hand-stitched leather. Unlike the plain, sturdy varieties you see in most furniture stores, Moroccan versions are made of glove-soft, buttery leather and elaborately embroidered with contrasting threads in lacy patterns. They invite lounging, and are truly works of art for any room. Moroccan home décor wouldn’t be complete without tucking an embroidered leather ottoman into a corner for a bit of romantic lingering in the evenings.
Yes, you can turn your room into a romantic getaway without any sign of flowers, ruffles or pink. Simply take a short trip to a more exotic location for romance by way of Moroccan home décor.
