MYSTIC MOROCCAN SPICE

How to choose the best Moroccan styled rugs and carpets

As the organic Moroccan style features many richly textured fabrics, carpet is the logical flooring choice for creating a Moroccan theme within your home.

Carpet Court’s Autumn Mist carpet in Iceton is a resilient loop pile nylon carpet which will tie all the elements of the room together. For a rich and bold contrasting floor the Castlerock Stipple colour choice in the Antilles solution dyed nylon carpet range brings an appropriately luxurious finish with its plush, twist fibres.

Neutral floors can be transformed by sumptuous area rugs in typical Moroccan colours and designs, both traditional and contemporary. Add colour and pattern with the Refold Aztec rug in Bunting Multi or splash out with a stylish rug from the Parade Stripe in Coral.

How to create the best Moroccan styled floors

Choose warm earthy hues with deep purples and turquoise blues or rich shades of red to create the best Moroccan styled floor. Achieve this with area rugs if you want to keep your base floor relatively neutral.

If you prefer a cool, hardwood floor under foot opt for a timber or laminate floor or even vinyl flooring in warm woodgrain hues. Terra Firma in the popular colours of Spotted Gum or Blackbutt is the perfect flooring base for achieving an authentic Moroccan style floor. The rich, natural hues of Bondi in the Oak Essentials timber flooring collection is also an ideal way to blend the earthy warmth of wood with traditional Moroccan shades of tangerine and burnt orange contrasted with cool blues, fresh off-whites, taupes and neutrals along with sumptuously soft and delicious purple tones.

Is a Moroccan-influenced vinyl flooring design a good option?

Cool and clean under foot, vinyl flooring is making a big comeback and is a popular choice for many family homes due to its resilience, affordability and stylish good looks. Perfectly suited to the Moroccan theme, you could blend patterned vinyls with Moroccan-inspired accessories to achieve a cosy atmosphere in chilly climates.

Terracotta indoor plant pots, mosaic-adorned furniture pieces and accessories along with an abundance of sheer and textured fabrics will enhance any vinyl flooring design to complete the Moroccan-influenced look.
