Bold Moroccan Style for Today's Interiors
Moroccan style can be bold, colorful and exciting. Taking its cues from the surrounding landscape of North Africa, this exotic style includes vivid blues and greens, rich oranges and reds, and metallic silver and gold. Traditionally, the décor is very ornate with intricate patterns and bright colors. Modern interpretations of this style are simpler, with larger scale patterns and current colors. This became a trend in 2007 and three years later, it is still a favorite choice for interiors.
