Moroccan Bedroom Ideas
The moroccan style is a perfect match for bedrooms, creating spaces that embody the best of both functional design and aesthetic appeal. Exotic opulence of North African artisanship. This combination draws on moroccan's signature elements—jewel-toned color palette and intricate geometric patterns—to transform your bedroom into a space that's both beautiful and functional.
Why Moroccan Works for Bedrooms
Moroccan design principles align naturally with bedroom requirements. The style's emphasis on jewel-toned color palette complements the room's primary purpose: bedrooms serve primarily for sleep and rest, but also function as spaces for dressing, reading, intimacy, and personal retreat. the design should prioritize sleep quality while accommodating daily routines like getting dressed and winding down. Key materials like Zellige tiles (mosaic), Carved plaster, Brass and copper work exceptionally well in this space, while the moroccan color palette creates the right atmosphere for a bedroom.
When designing a moroccan bedroom, consider creating a restful atmosphere for sleep. Moroccan design typically addresses this through intricate geometric patterns. Also keep in mind the room's ambient overhead lighting (with dimmer) and closet space for hanging clothes when selecting furniture and finishes.

Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Moroccan can work in small spaces with careful editing. Choose one or two statement elements: a gorgeous lantern and a pouf, perhaps. Use mirrors (Moroccan-framed!) to expand the space and reflect lantern light. Stick to a cohesive color palette. A small powder room with zellige tiles becomes a jewel box. For a small bedroom: In small bedrooms (under 100 sq ft), prioritize the bed and essential nightstands. Use wall-mounted lights to save nightstand space. Consider a headboard with built-in storage. Skip the bench and armc
Large Space Tips
Large spaces can embrace full Moroccan opulence. Create a proper Moroccan salon with low banquette seating and scattered poufs. Layer rugs. Hang multiple lanterns at varying heights. Use carved screens to create intimate zones. This is where the style's maximalist tendencies shine. In a larger bedroom: Large bedrooms (200+ sq ft) can create distinct zones: sleeping area, sitting area, dressing area. Include a proper reading chair, bench, and possibly a desk or vanity. Use area rugs to define zones w
Budget-Friendly
Start with lanterns—even affordable reproductions create atmosphere. Target, World Market, and HomeGoods carry Moroccan-inspired items. Shop for vintage Moroccan rugs on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. DIY stenciled tiles can mimic zellige. Poufs are often affordable from online retailers.
Luxury Approach
Source antique rugs and textiles from specialty dealers. Commission custom zellige tile work from Moroccan artisans. Purchase vintage furniture and lighting from Marrakech dealers. Work with designers who specialize in Moroccan interiors. Consider architectural elements like carved plaster or tadelakt walls.
