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 kids room: Small kids rooms benefit from vertical storage—tall shelves, wall-mounted organizers. Consider a loft bed with play or desk space underneath (for older kids). Use under-bed storage. Keep furniture min
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 kids room: Large kids rooms can create dedicated zones: sleep area, play zone, study corner, reading nook. Consider built-ins for storage. Larger rooms work well for shared sibling spaces.
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.
