Arabian Nights / Moroccan Style Nursery Decorating Ideas
An Arabian Nights / Moroccan style nursery theme is
definitely not-your-average nursery theme idea. Inspired by the One Thousand
and One Nights collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian stories, the theme
is based on a rich and exotic style. To successfully pull off an Arabian Nights
nursery theme, you need to think about bringing in elements that will re-create
the overall Moroccan / Middle Eastern style:
Choose rich vibrant colors such as greens, reds and blues,
accented by silver and gold;
Incorporate elements unique to the style such as
lantern-style lamps, wall hanging tapestries, rich Persian carpets, mosaics and terra
cotta tiles (the last are often found applied on table tops); you could
incorporate mosaics as custom wall art, as well;
Create the look by choosing
Moroccan-inspired fabrics for a few throw pillows or to upholster some
of the major furniture pieces in your nursery such as the
glider, for instance – thus, you will have a truly custom look;
Although there are not any particular
characters you have to include, you could incorporate characters from
famous stories as “Aladdin’s
Wonderful Lamp” or “The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor” in the art
pieces
that you choose to display
With the above in mind, take a look at a few fabric options
