My Dream Moroccan Home in Marrakesh

I'm totally drooling over the first photo above, I would

love to have a bedroom like that.

I'm not sure whether I'm on a "Moroccan decor" streak

or "showcasing my design magazines" streak yet.

I think it started when I read Cote de Texas' post about

My Marrakesh's Peacock Pavilions. I've always Loved

Moroccan decor and totally fell in love with this house

published in Australia's Vogue Living magazine. This

home was built for a Scandinavian client who wanted to

meld Scandinavian architectural elements with Moroccan

design. A very interesting blend if I must say so myself.

Here's the cover of the gorgeous house. The

house is outside of the Medina in Marrakesh.

What a grand entrance! I really love it. The scale

is amazing with the height of the doors and I love

the stones in the water. Such attention to details.

Here is the actual entrance to the

home once you enter the property.

Very linear Scandinavian lines with

the gorgeous color of the tile actually

makes a decent blend.

Here's a very modern take on tiling in

the bathroom. I love how the mosaic

tiles cover all of the walls and the floor.

A very cozy and casual dining area.

Love the colors and small canopy

of the upholstered seating area.

No Moroccan home is complete

without a tea set for Mint tea.

The dining area lets out into

a nice outdoor seating area.

The Hammam is absolutely gorgeous.

A lovely courtyard.

This is a more traditional Moroccan

courtyard with a His and Hers canopied

nooks. Love it! It looks absolutely

perfect for lounging.

A beautiful outdoor raised pool completely

surrounded by tile. This is something different

as we usually dig our pools in the ground here.

It's quite lovely.

Just some different photos of more

Moroccan inspiration and color for you.

What a beautiful parasol!

And of course the camel, the animal

that is synonymous with the desert.

I hope you enjoyed this home as much

as I did and that it was able to give you

some inspiration.
