Moroccan Living Room Ideas
See what a moroccan living room looks like — low seating, poufs, kilims, lantern light — restyled from your photo, then viewed in 360°.
Hammershøi's living room in Moroccan. Walk into it.
A Moroccan living room is a sitting room in the old sense: low seats, floor cushions and a tray table where tea can arrive at any time.
What a moroccan living room looks like
A long low sofa or a built-in bench with cushions in indigo, saffron and cream runs along one wall, with leather poufs and a brass tea tray on a carved side table. Layered kilims and a Beni Ourain rug cover the floor, the walls are plaster in terracotta or ivory with an arched niche or a carved screen, and pierced brass lanterns hang at different heights. Curtains are embroidered or sheer, and a plant in a painted pot sits in the corner.
Try it on your own living room
Upload a photo of your living room, restyle it in Moroccan, and send the result to whoever shares the space as a which-one poll. Then step inside the winner in 360°. Your windows and seating layout stay where they are; upholstery, rugs, wall colour, lighting and tables are what change.
Details worth getting right
- Build the seating low and long, since it changes the mood of the room more than the colour does
- Hang two or three lanterns at different heights for a layered pattern of light
- A carved screen or an arch on one wall provides the architecture without renovation
- Mix two rugs in the same colour family instead of one large matching rug
