Moroccan Madness
Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 7/1/2007
The rise of Moroccan style speaks to a desire for color-saturated fantasy, the ultimate escape from modern-day life. Achieving simplicity in one's life is replaced by complexity; sophisticated neutrals are sidestepped by a riot of spice-infused shades; and modernity is cast aside for centuries-old design. Pattern, texture and color are layered with intricate abandon, revealing a rich world blooming with Moorish motifs and exuberant allure.
