Bedroom Design Trends: Moroccan Bedroom Designs

When most people think of Moroccan design, they likely think of the colourful tiles and intricate designs characteristic of Morocco’s architecture. But this North African country’s style influences much more than just buildings. Moroccan-style bedrooms are becoming increasingly popular, thanks to their dramatic look and feel.

This type of bedroom alters the function of a room, increasing visual interest. Rather than being a place to sleep, it becomes a cozy and inviting space to relax in. You can take your inspiration from this design style for your next bedroom renovation.

To create a Moroccan-style bedroom, start by using rich patterned fabrics on the walls and furniture. Think deep reds, oranges and blues, as well as golds and browns. These colours are all key elements of Moroccan design. You can also add texture by using tassels, fringe and embroidery.

Of course the centrepiece of any Moroccan bedroom design is the bed itself. If you’re looking for a luxurious and grand bed to infuse your bedroom with Moroccan style, look no further than the Moroccan Four Poster Bed from Get Laid Beds. This beautiful piece is handmade from sustainable wood, and features charismatic bedposts, a tall headboard panel, and turned block-and-vase legs. What’s more, there’s also the option of under bed storage available.

Made by their master craftsmen here in the UK – this stunning piece of furniture comes with an 11 year guarantee. They also have a nifty tool to help you visualise your bed in different materials.

The bed is only part of the story. Your choice of fabrics for the bedclothes is a key part of the overall effect. If you’re looking for sumptuous fabrics that will really bring your Moroccan bedroom to life, take a look at this Moroccan Amberglow Duvet Set from Linen Mill

This beautiful paisley design is inspired by traditional Moroccan patterns, and the soft, light weight microfiber fabric is perfect for a comfortable night’s sleep. This collection includes a quilt, two pillows and a duvet with button-closure cuffs. The non-allergenic fabric makes it ideal for individuals who suffer from allergies. It’s made of long-lasting colours and durable cloth, and the button closure on the duvet ensures a tight fit.

In terms of furniture, opt for pieces that are intricately carved or have an ornate metalwork finish. Benches and low tables are perfect for this type of bedroom and will create a luxurious feel.

The Diya chest from Moroccan Bazaar is a beautiful piece of furniture that typifies this style. It is made of mahogany panelling and is decorated with a delicate inlay of mother of pearl and silver wire.

Outside the furniture – there are a few key places where a smart selection can really add a Moroccan touch to your bedroom:

Geometric Wallpaper Patterns

Our own Crystal Trellis wallpaper is a beautiful example of geometric patterning in Moroccan design. The paper is printed with an intricate trellis pattern in rich copper tones on a midnight blue background.

It would look perfect paired with furniture in a deep mahogany wood finish, or with rich jewel tones such as purple or blue.

Mosaic tiles on the floor or walls

While your natural instinct probably leans towards either carpet or a laminate flooring for the bedroom, you may find an exotic mosaic tile – such as the Abril Black Hexagon is more in keeping with your Moroccan theme. While a statement piece in itself – the muted black doesn’t distract from the rest of the decor in your room.

Moroccan-style bedrooms are always luxurious and exotic. They often feature rich fabrics like silk or velvet, as well as intricate patterns and designs. A hanging lamp with a colourful glass shade is a common element, as is brass or gold decor accents. A plush rug with intricate designs can cover the floor to complete the look.
