Moroccan kitchen design
Colorful zellige tile, carved wood screens, brass lanterns, jewel-toned poufs and rugs, arched motifs, layered exotic textures.
That description is not a summary of the style in general. It is the brief KitchenGPT works from when you pick Moroccan, which is why what you see below matches what you get back.

What makes a kitchen read as Moroccan
These are the elements the style is built from, read straight out of its catalog entry. Get most of them and the room reads as Moroccan. Get one or two and it reads as a kitchen with a borrowed detail in it.
- Colorful zellige tile
- Carved wood screens
- Brass lanterns
- Jewel-toned poufs and rugs
- Arched motifs
- Layered exotic textures
Materials
The materials this style names by name. Anything else is open, which is the point of trying it on your own room before you buy any of it.
- Zellige tile
- Wood
- Brass
General advice, not advice about this style
Nothing below is specific to Moroccan. It is what applies to picking any style out of a list of 205, and it is the part that saves people money.
Judge it in your own light
A palette behaves differently in a room with one north-facing window than it does in a showroom. The only version of this style worth judging is the one rendered on a photo of your kitchen, taken in daylight.
Change one thing at a time
If you swap the cabinets, the tile and the floor at once and dislike the result, you have learned nothing about which of the three was wrong. Run the whole-room style first, then settle the surfaces one by one.
Shortlist three, not thirty
Styles are cheap to try and expensive to install. Generate a handful, live with the pictures for a few days, and let the ones you stop opening fall away on their own.
