Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Moroccan can work in small spaces with careful editing. Choose one or two statement elements: a gorgeous lantern and a pouf, perhaps. Use mirrors (Moroccan-framed!) to expand the space and reflect lantern light. Stick to a cohesive color palette. A small powder room with zellige tiles becomes a jewel box. For a small home office: Small home offices (under 80 sq ft or desk in another room) require efficient desk selection, vertical storage, and minimal but functional furniture. Wall-mounted shelves and compact desks maximize sp
Large Space Tips
Large spaces can embrace full Moroccan opulence. Create a proper Moroccan salon with low banquette seating and scattered poufs. Layer rugs. Hang multiple lanterns at varying heights. Use carved screens to create intimate zones. This is where the style's maximalist tendencies shine. In a larger home office: Large home offices (150+ sq ft) can include a full desk setup, conference or meeting area, library-style bookshelves, and lounge seating for reading. Multiple zones for different work types.
Budget-Friendly
Start with lanterns—even affordable reproductions create atmosphere. Target, World Market, and HomeGoods carry Moroccan-inspired items. Shop for vintage Moroccan rugs on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. DIY stenciled tiles can mimic zellige. Poufs are often affordable from online retailers.
Luxury Approach
Source antique rugs and textiles from specialty dealers. Commission custom zellige tile work from Moroccan artisans. Purchase vintage furniture and lighting from Marrakech dealers. Work with designers who specialize in Moroccan interiors. Consider architectural elements like carved plaster or tadelakt walls.
