I'm hearing lots of buzz about the
Moroccan look, derived from Hispanic-Moorish style influences, bursting with warmth and energy. Before Canadian House + Home spotted the Modern Moor as a hot trend for '07, I was already seeing it popping up here in the states and last year, over in Germany, too. H+H says that the Modern Moor look avoids "busy" ethnic interiors by "modernizing the classic motifs and stripping them down to their pure and graphic essence." Seems culturally inspired decor is popular everywhere you look, Moroccan being one of my favorites because it's not only welcoming, warm, and somewhat inexpensive, but it's easy to pull together and adds lots of personality to a space. You don't have to go over the top with it either. A throw rug, some toss pillows, a bright yellow lamp, an accent wall, and that's all you need to pull together a rockin' little casbah of your very own. Modern Moor is all about dotting your space with a few key accessories and keeping it simple. This post will celebrate both the modern take, and the classic Moroccan style which incorporates a more layered and ethnic flair, allowing you to pick and choose a look that is right for you.
