"Moroccan Classic Style"
"Special thanks to Arch.Mohamed Swed for the Workshop"
Moroccan Classic design style influenced by the unique blending of Arabian and Islamic styles that creates a very distinctive style.
1) Traditional Moroccan homes are made of stucco with wooden beams and supports. The homes are commonly white-washed and gleam in the bright Saharan sunlight. Doorways and windows are arched or shaped in the traditional Islamic key-hole design.
2) Ceramic and mosaic brightly patterned tiles play an important part in Moroccan design.
3) Moroccan design incorporates bold colors, such as royal blue with the soothing neutral colors of the desert, such as sand, taupe, beige, and shades of white.
4) Texture is important in Moroccan design. Rough stucco walls, smooth silken tapestries, and rugs in Moroccan homes. Rugs are commonly made of woven silk and wool Asian designs. Contrasting elements add a rich layer to this design style.
5) Textiles in Moroccan interior design drape and flow. Silks, gauze-like fabrics, and drapery sheers are commonly used to divide rooms, to frame windows, and to throw across furniture. These fabrics are typically in rich, bold colors.
6) Furniture in Moroccan design is a combination of delicately-carved wooden pieces and plush over-stuffed upholstered ones.
7) Accent accessory pieces reflect the Islamic and Asian influence on Morocco Lamps are often hung from the ceiling and are commonly made of metals, such as brass and copper. Other popular Moroccan style accents include mirrors, often framed in metal or wooden with an Islamic design. Also common are brightly-colored pottery, to hang on the wall, use as serving vessels, or as decorative lamps.
