Hot Moroccan Nights
by Scott Acord
Sumptuous Bedding | Rugs, Shears & Beads | Ambience

If you're looking for a unique and fun room perfect for lounging (I mean studying), take a trip to Africa. Rich in textures, patterns, and colors, Moroccan style is exotic and, above all, comfortable.

Sumptuous Bedding

  • Make your duvet cover out of rich colorful embroidered or intricately patterned fabrics. Feel free to mix and match fabrics for your duvet. Moroccan is all about layering textures, colors and patterns.
  • Use the same types of fabrics to make your bed-skirt. Measure the distance from the top of your bed frame to the floor and add two inches. Wrap the extra 2” around the bed frame and hot glue around the perimeter of your bed.
  • For pillows, the more colorful and elaborate the geometric patterns the better. For floor pillows you’ll want to use heavier woolen fabrics stuffed with cotton. For the bed go with silks and velvets. Soft and smooth.
