Today I thought I would focus on a style that is just pure magic: Moroccan patios. It’s a look where I feature stunning colors and intricate patterns.
I’m not sure everyone is ready for the full-on bold look, but you’ll be seeing just how easy it is to get this exotic vibe.
A Modern City Vibe
I get it! Not all of us are comfortable enough to jump completely into a full-on theme, especially one as exotic as ‘Moroccan’. It makes sense that we want to test the waters before taking the plunge.
A great way to start is by giving your modern patio just a few subtle Moroccan accents. Think about some trendy lighting or those cool ottomans. You’ll be surprised! Most often, these will fit right in with a contemporary outdoor landscape.
Those glittering lights? They add such a dramatic appeal to the whole setting. This is honestly the best way to find that perfect balance between a chic urban look and that audacious Moroccan style.

Here’s another smart compromise. You can give your patio a distinct Mediterranean style and just let small Moroccan overtones creep in over time.
Both styles have many similarities, and this also allows you to use lovely Moroccan patterns, which you might be incredibly fond of, without having to add bright reds and vivacious purples.
The Mediterranean style lets you bring in cool aqua, fashionable turquoise, and pristine white instead! Such a great idea!

Mixing It Up
All you need is a hint of imagination to infuse Moroccan design elements into the patio with other exotic styles like Asian, Japanese, and tropical.
Most of these unique themes work very well in the patio, and since the outdoor landscape is detached from your interior, you need not always be worried about a continuity of themes and styles. I love this freedom!

The use of natural bamboo and a more minimalist approach gives the patio an Asian-inspired look, even as you enliven it with festive Moroccan accents.
A tropical theme relies more on nature-centric design and bold prints, while you can use Moroccan lighting and rugs to add intrigue to the space. So many possibilities!

Full-On Color and Pattern
There are plenty of different approaches you can take, but honestly, the most brilliant one of them all is just embracing the style in its purest form. Yes! That means bringing home some fascinating colors, amazing geometric patterns, funky ottomans, and luxurious fabric.
That doesn’t sound bad at all! You can further turn your patio into a serene and stunning personal oasis by adding a daybed in the classic Moroccan style. This also gives you an opportunity to throw in some comfy rainbow-tinted throw pillows, giving the patio that authentic Moroccan appeal!

While most of us find it easier to incorporate a Moroccan-inspired patio, others might have enough space to add a central courtyard to their home. Visually enchanting, a Moroccan-themed courtyard generally features bright, colorful tiles, a water feature at its heart, and some natural greenery that adds to the overall ambiance.
Once again, silken fabric, floor cushions, and lantern-style lights help elevate this look to a whole different level.

This decor is just so versatile and beautiful; it’s quickly becoming a staple in homes across the world. Even contemporary homes seem to be falling in love with the shiny ottomans and fabulous lamps that are shaped by the unique culture of this North African nation.
And your patio is the perfect place to let these additions shine while you enjoy a lovely summer and fall outdoors!
