Moroccan Seaside Decor: Colours, Zellige and Riad Style

Colour your interior with Moroccan decor

Terracotta, amber honey, antique pink or white walls, oriental cushions and zellige: the colours and tiles of Morocco warm up the interior.

Morocco means warmth! And not only the heat of the desert. We also think of the friendliness of its people, the warmth of mint tea and the warm shades of riad facades. But how can you bring this warm atmosphere into your home decor?

Sunny shades on the walls

For an oriental-style interior, put sunny shades on your walls and decor! Here, we forget the traditional colours of seaside decor. Go for the terracotta trend, which will warm up the atmosphere in a single stroke of the brush. Amber honey or antique pink will dress your walls beautifully and match perfectly with a Moroccan decor. Do not dare to paint your walls? Do not worry, white also works very well: you will get a very bright interior.

Cushions, rugs and zellige

For a sunny atmosphere, all you need to do is play with decorative accessories. A few cushions in oriental shades (purple, orange, ochre...) scattered over your sofas and colourful rugs on the floor, and you are done!

To turn your interior into a real riad, opt for zellige. These Moroccan tiles are ideal for bringing colour to the walls or floor of the bathroom, or for adding an oriental touch to your kitchen splashback.

Create a warm cocoon with handcrafted decor

Rattan, wood and straw furniture, palm pendant lights, handmade wall decor and mirrors: Moroccan craftsmanship puts natural materials in the spotlight.

After bringing the colours of Morocco into your interior, why not add a little soul to your decor with handcrafted decorative objects that mix modernity and tradition?

Handmade furniture with Moroccan influences

Moroccan craftsmanship puts natural materials in the spotlight! Wood, rattan, leather, palm leaves or brass: get ready to see them invade your Moroccan-inspired seaside decor. You cannot go wrong with natural materials, which are ultra trendy in decoration.

Make your home a very welcoming riad! Decorate the rooms of your house with warm furniture. Fall for the authenticity of rattan armchairs and banquettes, handcrafted wood and straw benches, woven palm pendant lights and leather poufs.

A handcrafted decor that will make your guests want to bask in the Moroccan sun, without leaving your living room.

Decorate your walls with unique, handcrafted pieces

The centrepieces of your decoration are now in place in your interior: it is time to add character. Here are a few tips to enhance your walls and give a more authentic style to your home sweet home.

To do so, multiply wooden decorative objects and natural fibres. Give your walls cachet with handmade wall decor. Add a seaside note with colourful floats, which will take your interior to the beaches of the Mediterranean. A time clock in natural shades, such as the Dune time clock, also fits perfectly with this atmosphere. Why not decorate the wall above the sideboard or the sofa? Colour your walls in an oriental spirit with beautiful mismatched ceramic plates or hand-woven Moroccan baskets.

For a bedroom, give the room a sense of size by dressing your walls with rattan or brass mirrors, round or eye-shaped. For an ultra trendy effect, hang mirrors of different sizes.

Do you want to take Moroccan decor all the way? Why not fall for a beautiful, typically Moroccan door, leading to your terrace or garden, with a sea view for the luckiest.

Get inspired by Moroccan decor to create an outdoor space worthy of a riad

Palm trees, cacti, majorelle blue pots, stretched fabric, banquettes and lanterns: an outdoor space with an oriental atmosphere.

Do you love the charm of oriental riads? Decorate your outdoor space to be transported to Morocco in a split second.

Warmth and greenery on a Moroccan-style terrace

Imagine yourself in the heart of a Moroccan riad, where serenity reigns. Recreate this atmosphere outdoors with beautiful exotic plants such as palm trees and cacti. For an oriental decor, plant them in terracotta pots or in majorelle blue, a typically Moroccan shade. An intense shade of blue that will give pep and character to your patio or garden.

To create a cocooning space and protect yourself from the sun (or the rain), set up stretched fabric on wooden poles, for a handcrafted relaxing corner. You can also opt for reed fencing, ideal for creating a pergola or hiding the view from neighbours.

Decor ideas for an outdoor space with an oriental atmosphere

Not so fast: are there not a few decorative elements missing to make this green corner a little Moroccan paradise?

As for your interior, shop for modern furniture and decorative objects with oriental charm. To make your outdoor space a place for enjoying mint tea, install banquettes or floor cushions. If your exterior walls are coloured like those of some riads, then prefer a more pared-down decor, in a Berber spirit. A white or linen-coloured sofa adorned with pretty handmade cushions will make the place even cosier. All you need now is a natural wood coffee table to put the tea tray on.

Is Morocco not present enough on your terrace? Add a few oriental lanterns to the ceiling, on a small side table or directly on the floor. Moments of relaxation await you, which will take you to the Sahara or the beaches of Imsouane.
