Moroccan Outdoor Flair

I don't know about you, but I absolutely adore Moroccan architecture

and design.  This was a budget patio makeover for a space that

previously looked very bare.  Morocco has this air of mystery and

allure to it.  The makeover is super fun and filled with color.

A lot of the materials were reused vintage pieces or common items

easily purchased at a store that were repurposed.  Add paint and

some fun Moroccan tea glasses and voila!

This little fountain is definitely one of the highlights of the

makeover.  Love the upholstered bench next to it as well.

Here's another home with a patio that has gone with a distinctly Moroccan

 motif.  Moroccan furniture is very unique in its low flat design and fabrics

 that come in a myriad of colors.

Another modern interpretation of Moroccan outdoor

living with colorful lanterns.

I love this very layered and "lived in" look.

The great think about Moroccan decor is that it's

easy to mix textures, fabrics and accessories.

I love what the ownders did with their gazebo.  They

outfitted it with low, streamlined frames and covered

the sitting area with Moroccan mattresses and tons

of throw pillows and throws.  The colors are bright

and fresh.

Found this fabulous book on Moroccan decor.

For more Moroccan inspiration, this is a fun

book.

In the meantime, spring and summer are just

around the corner.  Hopefully this post has

jumpstarted some ideas for outdoor living.
