Design Direction: Moroccan Inspired Accessories

byTeam GM

6 years ago

We’ve been fawning over Gray’s living room update with Anthropologie for weeks now—and we’re not sorry about it! But today, we’re highlighting a couple of accents in particular… While Gray’s space is undeniably chic, modern, and all-around inspiring, something we’ve taken special note of in his redesign are the Moroccan-inspired accents that make the space feel like it’s been collected for years, from destinations all around the globe. (Speaking of all around the globe… FREE worldwide shipping is on through this week only, so scoop up those global destination prints ASAP!)

If you haven’t noticed, Gray’s room-sized rug is one detail we’re especially fond of (and you can shop it below…) and the woven, carved, and handmade accessories feel like they are straight from artisans in Morocco. We’re obsessed with this boho-chic vibe, and we’re showing you how you can get the look in your own space, along with the perfect prints to pair with them. Keep scrolling for our favorite Moroccan-inspired pieces, ranging from furniture, rugs, and lighting, to throw pillows and more. Plus, shop a few of Gray’s to-die-for images from Morocco’s home turf of Africa…

Furniture, Rugs, & Lighting

Trays, Bowls, & Baskets

Handmade and woven accents are key to bringing that Moroccan vibe to life, and these accessories are some of our faves to add to tabletops, shelves, and other unexpected corners. When hunting for that Moroccan-inspired look, seek out intricate patterns and details, but don’t obsess over perfection—the most eye-catching accents are stunning in their imperfections! Those one-of-a-kind details can make a piece truly feel artisan-made, whether it’s straight from Morocco or from your local Target (no one will be the wiser!).

Pillows & Objects

Last, but certainly not least, colorful pillows and interesting objects will add depth to your Moroccan-inspired design. Pull off the look by employing woven textures, irregular patterns, plenty of tassels and neutral fringe. Moroccan inspired interiors never shy away from color, so dive in headfirst! Just make sure to ground your design with plenty of neutrals and lots of texture. (P.S. Don’t miss this little brass monkey below… Gray has it in his own home and he’s the perfect little topper for a stack of books, boxes, or any empty space on your shelf.)
