Moroccan / North African Riad

This style has roots in regional vernacular architecture and has been refined by contemporary designers into a recognisable language for modern homes.

It is defined by a clear materiality, a tonal colour discipline, and considered furniture silhouettes. Composition prizes restraint over ornament.

Use honest, regionally appropriate materials — stone, timber, plaster, linen — in a tonal palette grounded by one or two accent notes.

Edit with confidence. Commit to two or three signature gestures, then let the rest of the room stay calm. The style pairs well with modern contemporary as a calm backdrop.
