The Goods: Morocco is known for its handmade works like carved doors and columns, hand-woven carpets, Moroccan mosaic tiles, wood lattice screens, encaustic cement tiles, zillij tile, terracotta tile, Bedouin tents, Berber ethnic rugs, zellige mosaic tiles, intricately painted tiles, lanterns, leather goods and silver tea sets.
Color: The North African country borders an ocean, but is also a desert oasis, resulting in a warm and cool color palette. Earth tones combined with various shades of blue, red, green, yellow and pink are common, as are texture and pattern in Moroccan inspired interior design and home decorating.
