Housing in Moroccan Style - Taste of the Orient and Beauty of Variety
What defines Moroccan style?
In translation from French, orient means the East and indicates eastern countries and their culture. Moroccan style refers primarily to traditions of the Orient and you can see here the influence of Arab roots. As regards the interiors, they should be perfectly stylised for modern lifestyle, yet retain the traditional look. Traditional elements include marble, dark massive furniture and also solid, dark wooden floors. The ruling elements are clearly colourful luxurious fabrics and oriental patterns. These are of a lavish colour palette, from terracotta, ochre, white, gold, silver to red or typical cyan.
The details, which play an important role, are drapes, beads, mats, metalwork decorations and cushions. The appropriate atmosphere is induced by candlesticks and lamps. Various quality luxurious fabrics are represented, from velvet, silk, cashmere, satin to brocade.
