Character and background

The Moroccan style comes from the craft and architectural traditions of the Maghreb, including courtyard houses. It is distinct from Andalusian even though the two have crossed paths through history, each with its own vocabulary and references.

Typical elements

Typical elements include zellige tilework, carved plaster, cedar and carved woodwork, metal lanterns, arches, richly coloured textiles and rugs, and walls finished with traditional techniques.

How we approach it in a project

We start from your brief and your space, then plan the layout, design and present the idea through 3D visualisation, with your sign-off at each approval point. We rely on reliable references for patterns and decide what is made by craft and what is replaced with a practical material. This sits within our interior design service.

When it suits, and what to watch

It suits those who love colour, pattern and rich warmth. We watch for piling up ornament until every element disappears, and for reducing it to a stereotype.
