<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n1 Choose warm colours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nColour is key when it comes to creating a Moroccan-style living room. Look to the warmer hues in the colour wheel like toasty browns, burnt oranges, sunny yellows and blushing pinks to cosy up even cool north-facing rooms. Rather than vibrant, bold shades, utilise softer, muted iterations to reflect spaces that appear to have been faded by the sun, while evoking the glamorous bygone era made famous by Yves Saint Laurent in the 1950s and \u201860s. Use these colours as the foundations for building the scheme in your living room \u2013 on the walls, floors and in key furniture<\/a> such as our luxury sofas<\/a> \u2013 then complement with rich jewel tones in smaller pieces like coffee tables<\/a>, soft furnishings<\/a> and accessories<\/a>. Think deep teals, ruby-reds and emerald greens to create a jewel-box of a space that\u2019s both inviting and decadent. Finally, finish with ochres and golds in the smallest of accents, adding a touch of glamour to proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEditor\u2019s picks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nChoose something slouchy and convivial for the sofa to recreate the social and relaxed vibe of Moroccan parties from yesteryear. Our pick is Togo<\/a> by Ligne Roset<\/a> \u2013 a design classic for over 50 years, no less \u2013 with its low-seat, body-hugging shape and signature folds.

When hosting friends for afternoon tea, forgo the formality of chairs for cool and casual floor cushions \u2013 these Amechi Cushions<\/a> should do the trick \u2013 and gather everyone around.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MoroccanLiving_Image2.jpg\")

Ensure the bulb is warm by choosing yellow bulbs instead of white ones \u2013 much like you would to add warm twinkle to a Christmas tree \u2013 and select rustic rather than refined styles.

The secret is two-fold: choosing styles featuring busy patterns in beautiful hues; and layering them for added texture. For authenticity, try not to choose luxury rugs<\/a> that match each other.
