These pillows are some of my favorites. I love the look of hand-screened block printing, and the repetitive floral pattern is a nice rest for the eyes.

This particular lantern is just beautiful and is in one of my favorite, open-top shapes. The geometric diamond pattern adds a modern touch to a beautiful design.

Moroccan Berber rugs in a classic diamond pattern have been favorites of mine for as long as I can remember. How stunning would that Moroccan flair be in a modern space?

The peacock coloring and beautiful jacquard print make this a unique pillow for a sofa set or chair. Morocco is full of beautiful roaming peacocks, and the colors that they inspire are stunning.

These remind me of the beautiful Moroccan lanterns that hung high in the souks when I was traveling. The style is grandiose, but the shape and gold sheen are brilliant.

These intricately painted handles would look beautiful on a set of white drawers or even a richly saturated piece of furniture. And how stunning would it be if that piece of furniture were placed in front of a turquoise glass tiled wall? Sigh.

The shape of and rustic wood material on this bed frame are fantastic. The high arches common in Morocco are my favorite.

I love the structural detail of these stools and would use them as side tables or perching places for pots in a sun room.

The kilim style of flat weave rugs from Morocco is a close second to the natural Berber rugs that I love so much. I would love a kilim in this colorway for my hallway.

I love Moroccan accent pieces, and they mix nicely with my contemporary furniture.
The lamps are beautiful, but they really don't let much light escape. Use for their sculptural quality.
