There are so many ideas that one can take from right off the internet and of course, design magazines.

In this article, we will discuss key elements that will make your bathroom as Moroccan as possible.
Moroccan Inspired Bathroom
1. Play with color. To get a Moroccan themed bathroom that will echo the mystery of the desert, don't be afraid to play with colors. The key is getting the right balance of striking colors and neutral sand shades that are iconic of Moroccan houses. Strong cobalt colors, striking reds, and refreshing yellows must be reflected in some key decorations like a stained glass for a shower door or sand colored walls. It's all about the coloring, get this right and you are halfway done.
Moroccan houses usually play around 3 colors: blue, red and yellow… as you can see
2. Get authentic pieces. It is really important to get Arabian inspired Moroccan ornaments. A beautifully intricate lamp on top of the toilet, some jewels adorning the faucet, a Persian rug, and so on and so forth. It is so easy to find pieces like this. You can look at real antique stores to find the pieces you are looking for. Or better yet, scour the flea markets and bazaars and garage sales, you might find authentic pieces at really dirt cheap prices.

3. Stencil/Moroccan Tiles. Of course, it wouldn't be Moroccan if we don't add in the most iconic factor – patterned tiles. You can go as simple as two-tone, or be as colorful as a spectrum. There are some patterns that do not evoke Moroccan culture – a brief Googling of Moroccan culture will help you find the most authentic ones. Of course, don't overwhelm your bathroom with too much prints and patterns, throw in some stone tiles to break the noise.

3. Play with texture. It is really important to understand that the heart of Morocco is not a perfected look that is polished. In fact, it is not polished at all. Rough dry textures are a great addition to the Moroccan themed bathroom.
4. Fabricate it. Fabrics are also a great addition to a Moroccan themed bathroom. One can really make it look like the real McCoy by just adding a few subtle bejewelled fabrics or fabrics that have beautiful striking lines in it. Both communicate the desert look. One can use these beautiful fabrics as pieces to hang on the wall or as decorations.
Moroccans absolutely love see-through fabrics… you can drape them around your bathtub!
Bathrooms are probably one of the most intimate and private rooms in the house. It should be given as much attention as the bedroom. After all, some important business is done there. With these tips, one can create their desired Moroccan bathroom and pretend that they are way out in a dry mysterious place full of wonders and live out one's Arabian dreams.
