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.
