In my latest travels by magazine I have seen "Moorish" inspired designs in abundance. The Moorish style begins with Spanish roots expanding to Portugal, Morocco,Tunisia and Algiers. It's architecture is characterized by arches, courtyards, screen work and decorative tile.
In today's homes the "Moorish" look is seen in wallpaper, furniture, lighting, textiles and so on. You don't really want to overload your space with all of it just by adding even one will add character and interest. You can find original pieces or one of the many "Moorish" inspired new looks. The detailed cut outs and patterns really add another dimension to a simply styled space.
Look at these great rooms to see if the "Moor" style is for you! I found some great pillows on the weekend at Homesense which I should have bought with a "Moor" look pattern in a hit of yellow. Guess where I will be going sometime this week!
