Moroccan room design brings to mind the luxe fabrics and rich opulence of an ancient Middle Eastern palace. The bedroom is an especially appropriate setting for this design concept as a sense of luxury in private spaces can prove both healing and inspiring. Moroccan bedroom design colors include red, gold and brown hues. - Reds informed with brown can enhance the Moroccan feel.red image by zina from Fotolia.com
Scarlet and crimson may not come to mind when you contemplate Moroccan design for the bedroom. But such colors as vermilion, cinnamon and dogwood can add sensuality and warmth to the space. A voluminous cinnamon-red duvet or comforter of luxurious silk or cotton sateen can envelop the bed, ensconcing you and your spouse in splendor. Brick-colored throw rugs over hardwood flooring offer actual and perceived warmth. At windows or doors, drape weighty carmine silk or satin to both block out early morning rays and to promote an inviting, cocooning effect. - Gold lends grandeur and opulence to the Moroccan bedroom.GOLD BACKGROUND image by brelsbil from Fotolia.com
Gold has been associated with wealth and a feeling of luxury for centuries. Shades in the Moroccan bedroom may range from pale yellow-gold to deep hues, approaching bronze. Over the bed itself, waft gauzy sheer gold fabric over bedposts for an authentic sort of canopy. Install textured fabric, such as brocade, at windows with rope or fabric tie-backs. Paint walls in a muted medium gold color, or indulge in silk wall coverings -- solid or discreetly patterned. Upholster the headboard with pale golden fabric, and finish the look with bedding to match. - Brown hues from beige to chocolate can lend a sense of stability.the scorched brown paper . image by Yuri Bizgaimer from Fotolia.com
Brown symbolizes stability and permanence, according to PrecisionIntermedia.com. The brown tones you choose for your Moroccan bedroom can ground the intensity of any gold or red notes. The bed itself can be fashioned of dark wood, such as mahogany or Brazilian walnut. Hardwood flooring of dark maple or cherry can prove a stable platform for energetic decor color choices. Rugs or carpeting in shades from beige and caramel to milk chocolate lend both softness and stability. Patterned floor coverings that incorporate your other room colors help unify the space. The same principle of incorporating room colors applies to printed window coverings. If you elect to paint or cover your walls in red or yellow hues, brown trim can both set them off and bring them down to earth, so to speak.
