Maroccan/arabesque interior design

by | Jun 25, 2017

When I visited Marocco and Tunisia, I was charmed by their architecture, by the colours in the markets, by the spices and by the scent of the jasmine, it was like to be in a fairy tale. This experience inspires my work too, and I like to mix this style with modern as they fit brilliant together. Maroccan style furnitures are low, they use arches, lot of pillows, carpets, copper lamps, candles. Some of the following pics show you an interior which could fit in a palace, but if we cannot afford this we still can get inspired by them :-).
