Moroccan flare

Morocco is rich in culture and diversity and this shines through to their kitchens where they prepare exquisite meals such as the popular Tangine, cous-cous and Hirira. We have identified three simple ways you can add a touch of Moroccan flare to your kitchen design.

You can introduce colours to your tiles, cupboards, display shelves and feature lights. Popular Moroccan style kitchens will show touches of yellow, burnt orange, teal, blue, greens and browns. You get to choose colours that suit your taste and personality.
