5 Ways to Style Moroccan Pillows in Your Home

5 Ways to Style Moroccan Pillows in Your Home
Moroccan pillows are versatile design elements that can transform any room. Here are five expert-approved ways to incorporate them into your home.
1. The Layered Sofa Look
Create depth and visual interest by layering multiple pillows:
- Start with larger solid-colored pillows in the back
- Add medium-sized cactus silk pillows in the middle
- Finish with smaller accent pillows in front
Pro Tip: Use odd numbers (3, 5, or 7 pillows) for a more natural, balanced look.
2. The Minimalist Statement
Less is more in minimalist design. Use a single, vibrant cactus silk pillow as a focal point:
- Choose a pillow with bold colors or intricate patterns
- Place it on a neutral-colored sofa or chair
- Let it stand alone without competing elements
3. The Bedroom Sanctuary
Transform your bedroom into a Moroccan-inspired retreat:
- Layer 3-4 cactus silk pillows against your headboard
- Mix with linen or cotton pillows for texture contrast
- Coordinate colors with your bedding
4. The Floor Seating Area
Create a cozy, bohemian floor seating arrangement:
- Use larger cactus silk pillows as floor cushions
- Arrange them around a low coffee table
- Add a Moroccan rug to complete the look
5. The Accent Chair Upgrade
Elevate a simple accent chair:
- Add one or two cactus silk pillows
- Choose colors that complement your room's palette
- Consider the chair's style when selecting patterns
Color Coordination Tips
- Monochromatic: Stick to one color family in different shades
- Complementary: Use colors opposite on the color wheel
- Analogous: Choose colors next to each other on the wheel
- Neutral Base: Let vibrant pillows pop against beige, gray, or white
Mixing Patterns
Don't be afraid to mix patterns! Follow these rules:
- Vary the scale (large, medium, small patterns)
- Keep a consistent color palette
- Include at least one solid or subtle pattern
- Limit to 3-4 different patterns maximum
Remember, styling is personal. These are guidelines, not rules. Trust your instincts and create a space that feels like home.
