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 open plan living: In smaller open plans, less is more. Choose scaled furniture and avoid blocking sightlines. A compact dining table and apartment-sized seating prevent crowding. Use mirrors to expand the sense of spac
Large Space Tips

Use carved screens to create intimate zones. This is where the style's maximalist tendencies shine. In a larger open plan living: Large open plans risk feeling impersonal. Create intimate zones within the larger space. Use substantial furniture and multiple seating groupings. Consider a double-sided fireplace or built-ins to par
