Decorate Moroccan Style

1. Purchase new living room furniture or have your existing ones reupholstered in bright colors such as a deep blue sofa, bright orange chair and a dark red ottoman. Use a heavily textured fabric but keep the colors solid.

2. Put down a Moroccan-style throw rug. These look best over dark wood floors but the decorating will work on a tan, beige or gold as well. It is even fine if you already have carpet in the room; the throw rug will still look great.

3. Place a mosaic accent table between the couch and chair. It is best if it has an iron base but any metal will work. Place a metal and inlaid lamp on the table. The metals do not have to be the same. Part of the style is diversity.

4. 
    

   Accent your walls with Moroccan plates and place a hand-carved camel on a shelf. The plates should be bright and colorful. Then place some Moroccan pottery around. It does not have to look new; it can even have a chip or two.
