Decorating a Moroccan bedroom can be a daunting task. How to start and how to finish? First you need to realize that decorating a bedroom is more than just picking a comfortable bed. It is true that we spend a third of our lives sleeping, but also it is imperative to think of the mind and how to make a bedroom relaxing and joyful.

First you need to pick your favorite colors. The Moroccan-style vibrant colors such as red, orange, or yellow can bring warmth and coziness to any room. Starting by painting your bedroom could be your first step, so that matching your Moroccan bedding items can be a little easier.

Moroccan-colored glass lanterns, with their glowing lights, are generally handmade and can definitely add a romantic touch to your bedroom. Don't settle for any Moroccan lantern. Quality light matters. There exist two types of glass. The less expensive one is a sort of textured glass that comes in four main colors: pink, yellow, blue and green; however, this type does not perfectly reflect the glowing lights. On the other hand, the more expensive one is referred to as Iraqi glass, which is made of a flat-surfaced glass and can be found in virtually all colors. The latter beautifully displays the true exotic lights evocative of genies.

Decorating the floor of your bedroom should not be neglected, as it is an integral part of your decorating project. Handmade Moroccan rugs use natural dyes generally made of plants growing in the area, and with their intricate and colorful embroidered motifs, they can create an authentic Moroccan flair to not only your bedroom, but also to any room of your home.

Many are lost when trying to pick what type of Moroccan furniture pieces one should place in front of the bed. A Moorish bench or a Moroccan chest could be your solution. If you're the type that enjoys reading in the bedroom and finding a more comfortable place than your own bed where to curl up with a good book, don't worry because handmade Moroccan benches come in a plethora of styles. You can find several styles out there, from the hand-carved to the elaborately hand-painted. For a more festive ambience in your bedroom, a hand-painted bench could be your ideal choice. As for a cozier feel, a hand-carved bench in a natural wood color would blend in any Moroccan-type setting. Moroccan chests come in a variety of styles and shapes. If you are the type that usually put their shoes on in the bedroom, a table-shaped chest would be best, as it will be more comfortable than the dome-shaped style.

When it comes to decorating your bedroom, be bold, inventive and express yourself, as your bedroom is one of the most important corners in your home. There are several online Moroccan furniture and décor stores out there that offer relatively affordable bedding items that fit all tastes from the creative to the classical.
