Moroccan design is filled with intricate carvings, arched doorways, beautiful tilework and vibrant colorful textured fabrics, baskets and accessories. Beautiful Intricate metal lanterns and pendant lights create amazing and magical patterns of light in your room. 

Moroccan homes use bright colors, such as red, blue, orange, turquoise, pale ocean blues and green mixed with gold. Interiors are filled with carved furniture pieces, poufs, floor cushions, textured vases, exotic figurines, Moroccan-inspired Berber, Kilim and Azilal tribal rugs, metallic details and natural elements, such as wood and stone.

Designs reflect the diverse culture of Arabs, Berbers, Europeans and African immigrants.

Moroccan style is an example of global style Interior Design. Global Style Interior Design is all about telling the story of your life and adventures through your decor. Each piece has a story and becomes a conversation starter.  Treasures, old and new are displayed from various parts of the world and layered in a rich tapestry of color, texture, art and history.

Moroccan Style

Moroccan style design is a melting pot of Andalusian, Berber, Persian, and many other cultural influences, resulting in a rich and distinct aesthetic. It’s renowned for its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and luxurious textures. Here’s a deeper dive into the colors and design elements of Moroccan style:

Colors:

1. Rich and Vibrant Hues: Deep blues, fiery reds, emerald greens, and sunny yellows are prevalent.
2. Earth Tones: Warm terracotta, beige, and browns, reflecting the country’s desert landscapes.
3. Cooler Tones: Reflecting the Mediterranean coast, you’ll see aqua, teal, and turquoise.
4. Metallic Shades: Gold and silver accents often embellish decor and fixtures.

Design Elements:

1. Zellige Tiles: These are traditional hand-cut tiles used to create intricate mosaics. They are often used in flooring, walls, and tabletops. Their geometric and floral patterns are a hallmark of Moroccan design.

2. Archways: Moroccan architecture often features horseshoe and pointed arches. They can be found in doors, windows, and alcoves.

3. Tadelakt: This is a waterproof plaster used in Moroccan architecture, especially in baths and kitchens. It offers a smooth, luxurious finish.

4. Riads: Traditional Moroccan houses often feature an interior garden or courtyard, which serves as a private oasis and a focal point of the home.

5. Textiles: Rich, tactile fabrics like silk, wool, and velvet are common, often in intricate weaves and embroideries. Think of kilim rugs, plush cushions, and flowing curtains.

6. Lanterns: Often made of metal and glass, Moroccan lanterns can be hung or placed on surfaces. Their intricate patterns cast beautiful shadows when illuminated.

7. Furniture: Low-slung seating and carved wooden furniture are typical. Inlaid bone, metal, and mother-of-pearl often embellish these

Here is an Edesign I created using the art of a blue staircase in Chefchaouen, a blue city in the north of Morocco as the inspiration. The place is named after the mountain tops behind the village which look like two horns of a goat (chaoua). I loved the bold colors, interesting textures and peaceful feeling of this image which I tried to capture in my design.

The design highlights Moroccan tiles on the floor, Moroccan lighting,  and a beautiful hand knotted wool rug from the Tullu region of Morocco. Arched windows, hand carved Moroccan tables and pottery add to the look.  Colorful Moroccan and global style pillows against a modern sofa create a nice contrast. 

Here is the same design using my energy art, designed to capture the artistry and feeling of Moroccan design with an overlay of fractal energy art to support you to be in alignment with who you truly are.

Here are some of my Heart of Morocco designs in my Globally Inspired and Soulfully Aligned collection.

To get the look, you could go all out and incorporate all the elements or you can add some key elements to your existing decor.

The Energy of Moroccan Style

Moroccan style interior design, much like other global styles, has its distinct energy and essence. However, the particular nuances of its energy are shaped by its unique cultural, historical, and geographical context. Here’s a comparison of the energy of Moroccan interior design to other global styles:

1. Historical Richness: Moroccan design is imbued with centuries of cross-cultural influences, including Berber, Spanish, French, and Arabian. This fusion creates an energy that feels both ancient and cosmopolitan.

2. Warmth & Comfort: The use of warm, earthy colors, plush textiles, and intricate carvings creates an ambiance of coziness and sanctuary. This contrasts with some minimalist or cooler global styles.

3. Sensory Depth: Moroccan interiors are known for engaging all senses, from the tactile experience of Zellige tiles and plush rugs to the visual feast of intricate patterns and the ambient glow of lantern light. This multi-sensory appeal may be less pronounced in other global styles that might focus predominantly on visual aesthetics.

4. Intricate Detailing: Moroccan design heavily features detailed geometric patterns, ornate carvings, and elaborate metalwork. While other global styles might also use detailed patterns, Moroccan patterns have a specific energy that speaks to Islamic art’s avoidance of human and animal forms and instead focuses on abstract and geometric designs.

5. Connection to Nature: With its earthy palettes, natural materials, and the incorporation of indoor plants and water features, Moroccan design fosters a deep connection to nature. Some other global styles, like Japanese interior design, also emphasize this connection, but each does so with different elements and principles.

6. Spirituality: The presence of items like ornate lanterns and archways reminiscent of mosque architecture subtly hints at Morocco’s deep-rooted Islamic traditions. This spiritual undertone might differ from other global styles which could have other religious or philosophical underpinnings.

In essence, while all global styles resonate with the energies of their origins, Moroccan interior design is characterized by its warm, inviting, and multi-sensory experience, layered with historical and spiritual depth. It’s a style that doesn’t just look good – it feels good, enveloping inhabitants in an ambiance that’s both exotic and comforting.

Let’s Create Your Global Style Design

Are you ready to take your home to the next level, where it’s not only aesthetically pleasing but also feels like a sanctuary that uplifts and supports you? Just imagine that.

Think about living in a space that perfectly resonates with who you are. What does it feel like?

My approach to outstanding interior design, which I call Aligned Design, revolves around three crucial elements: art, science, and energy. It’s at the intersection of these three where the true magic unfolds.

Crafting a space that envelops you in your unique sense of beauty and color while harmonizing the energy to attract prosperity, well-being, love, and genuine self-expression, aligns you with the universe. This alignment empowers you to lead your best life, empowering you to make a positive impact on the world.

Globally Inspired Styles with the Soul of Aligned Design

I’ve always been inspired by global design styles — the way they gather beautiful stories, textures, and colors from around the world. Each piece, from the art to the decor, carries a story, inviting us to connect with different cultures and experiences, weaving a rich tapestry of meaning into our spaces.

In my philosophy of Aligned Design, we focus not just on beauty, but on creating environments that resonate deeply with who we are and what we value. Global style naturally supports this, helping us forge a connection — not only to the wider world but also to ourselves.

When we Connect through design, we invite a sense of unity, belonging, and soulful alignment into our homes. A space becomes more than just a place to live — it becomes a reflection of the beauty of the world and the peace within us.

This blending of global inspiration and inner resonance is, to me, a new design frontier — one that honors the world’s diversity while supporting our personal journey toward deeper connection and authenticity.

If you love global design styles, you’re in good company — I do too. There’s something magical about how they bring together beautiful stories, textures, and colors from all around the world. Every piece tells a story and adds a little soul to your space.

At the same time, Aligned Design is all about creating spaces that don’t just look good — they feel good. It’s about making sure your home reflects deeper values and feels true to who you are.

So how do these two come together?
Global style helps you Connect — with the world, with different cultures, and most importantly, with yourself. It brings a sense of unity and meaning into your home, creating a space that’s as rich in spirit as it is in beauty.

It’s like giving your space a passport and a purpose — globally inspired, soulfully aligned.

Connecting Globally Inspired Style and Aligned Design

There’s a natural connection between globally inspired design and Aligned Design. Styles from places like Morocco, Greece, Turkey, India, and Mexico — and the free-spirited vibe of Bohemian design — bring so much heart, color, and story into a space.

When you blend that with the idea of Aligned Design — creating spaces that feel as good as they look — you get something really special. Spaces that aren’t just beautiful, but full of meaning, soul, and connection. It’s a way of living that feels good inside and out.

The Beauty of Art

Globally inspired and Bohemian styles are all about weaving together rich stories from around the world. With their layers of color, texture, and soul, they create spaces that feel alive and full of meaning. Bohemian style, with its free-spirited, eclectic energy, adds a playful depth that fits beautifully with my Aligned Design philosophy — creating spaces that don’t just look good, but feel like home for your soul.

My energy art is designed to complement these styles — capturing the beauty and essence of Moroccan, Greek, Turkish, Indian, Mexican, and Bohemian influences. Each piece is layered with fractal energy art, helping you stay aligned with who you truly are and supporting your goals energetically.

In my Connect Through a Tapestry of Modern Global Styles collection, you’ll find art inspired by these rich traditions, each one infused with energy and meaning — a perfect way to connect to the world and yourself, through your space.

Explore the collection here: Connect Through a Tapestry of Modern Global Styles

The Science of Color

Color plays a huge role in how a space feels — and it’s a big part of my Aligned Design philosophy. The vibrant palettes of globally inspired and Bohemian styles naturally create a sense of harmony and energy.

Think of the calming blues and whites of Greek interiors, the rich patterns and warmth of Turkish and Bohemian textiles, or the joyful bursts of color in Indian and Mexican design. Each one tells a story — and when we use color with intention, it creates a space that feels alive and balanced.

That’s the same approach I take with my energy art. Every color is chosen with care to support alignment, well-being, and connection — so your space doesn’t just look beautiful, it feels like a reflection of your true self.

The Energy of Well Being

Every global style carries its own special energy. Greek interiors bring a sense of calm and serenity. Bohemian spaces celebrate creativity and freedom. Moroccan design adds a touch of the exotic, Turkish interiors wrap you in warmth, Indian decor radiates spirituality, and Mexican design bursts with life and joy.

Through Aligned Design, we tap into these beautiful energies and blend them with what you need to feel supported, balanced, and at home. My energy art brings it all together — combining the beauty and spirit of these styles with intentional energy that helps you align with your highest well-being.

Surround yourself with the energy that lifts you up — every single day.

Personal Reflection, Growth and Alignment

At its heart, Aligned Design is about creating spaces that reflect who you truly are and support you as you grow into who you’re meant to be.

Globally inspired styles, with their deep cultural roots, and the free-spirited nature of Bohemian design offer the perfect canvas. They give you room to create an environment that tells your story — a space that evolves with you, grows with you, and helps you stay connected to your personal journey.

Because when your space aligns with your soul, it becomes a powerful part of your transformation.

Sustainability and Connection to Nature

Many global styles naturally focus on sustainability, and Bohemian design brings in its own love of upcycling and creative reuse. It all fits beautifully with Aligned Design’s eco-friendly approach — creating spaces that are not only good for you but good for the planet too.

Natural materials like Turkish textiles, Greek stonework, Indian silks, Mexican crafts, and the earthy charm of vintage Bohemian pieces help keep your space connected to nature. These elements don’t just look beautiful — they create a more harmonious energy that supports you, instead of working against you.

Bringing nature into your space can be simple and powerful. My energy art captures the spirit of flora, fauna, and the wisdom of Animal Medicine, adding layers of meaning and energy. Pair it with plants and natural elements in your decor, and you create a space that feels fresh, grounded, and alive — a true sanctuary for your soul.

In connecting to nature, we find a deeper connection to ourselves — calm, grounded, and alive.

The Results

At its core, the rich colors, stories, and patterns of global styles fit perfectly with the heart of Aligned Design. By combining art, science, and energy, we create spaces that aren’t just beautiful to look at — they lift your spirit and feel alive with meaning.

The result? Spaces that captivate the eye, uplift the heart, and resonate with the energy of who you truly are.

Ready to Create Your Globally Inspired Aligned Design?

Are you ready to take your home to a whole new level — one that not only looks beautiful but feels amazing and lifts you up to be your best self?

Imagine a space that’s tailored just for you — where every detail reflects your sense of beauty, the colors feel just right, and the energy supports your dreams. That’s what Aligned Design is all about. It’s the magic that happens when art, science, and energy come together to create a space that truly resonates with you.

Now picture fine-tuning your environment to boost your prosperity, well-being, love, and personal expression — all through thoughtful design and intentional energy. When your space is aligned, you’re aligned — and that’s when life starts flowing in beautiful ways.

Global style interior design plays a big part in this. It brings rich stories, soulful textures, and vibrant energy into your home — helping you create a space that’s not only beautiful but deeply, authentically you.

What is a Global Design Style?

Global styles capture the essence of your adventures across the world, weaving together a tapestry of your experiences and stories. Characterized by vibrant hues, they radiate with the boldness of designs inspired by various cultures, suffused with rich textures and patterns. Every item isn’t just a decor piece; it’s a narrative, sparking curiosity and conversations.

Instead of adhering to a strict theme, treasures find their place without being confined by their origin. It’s a harmonious chaos where antiques cozy up to contemporary pieces, and nature plays its part—be it through the rugged beauty of animal horns, the serene presence of plants, or the raw allure of stones.

Although the heart of global design revels in its eclectic nature—melding elements from myriad cultures—certain colors and cultural symbols might resonate more deeply with you, reflecting your unique journeys and preferences. This design approach isn’t about uniformity; it’s about personal expression, celebrating diversity, memories, and the beautiful mosaic of worldwide cultures.

Examples of Global Style

Global design styles are a treasure trove of cultural richness and diversity. Here are some of my favorite styles and why I like them.

1. Bohemian: Rooted in a free-spirited and unconventional ethos, the Bohemian style celebrates individuality. It’s marked by an eclectic mix of vibrant colors, mismatched patterns, and a blend of old and new. Common elements include macrame hangings, colorful textiles, and layered rugs.

2. Turkish: Turkish design radiates with opulence and intricate detailing. Think of ornate lanterns, sumptuous kilim rugs, and Iznik tiles with their intricate blue and red motifs. Brass and copperware, often with intricate engravings, are also hallmarks.

3. Moroccan: This style evokes the allure of a desert oasis. Key elements include geometric mosaics, lanterns, carved wooden pieces, and rich textiles in deep reds, oranges, and blues. Arched doorways and lush courtyards complete the look.

4. Mexican: Bursting with vivid colors, Mexican interiors draw from its indigenous cultures and Spanish colonial influences. Hand-painted Talavera tiles, rustic wooden furniture, and vibrant textiles are central, along with folk art pieces and pottery.

5. Greek: Greek design channels the serene beauty of the Mediterranean. Bright white and deep blue are dominant colors, reminiscent of the iconic Santorini landscapes. Elements include airy linens, hand-painted ceramics, and rustic wooden details.

6. Indian: Indian interiors are a tapestry of rich hues, intricate patterns, and spiritual motifs. Brass lamps, colorful silk textiles, carved wooden furniture, and ornamental mirrors are typical. The vibrant colors—saffron, turquoise, and fuchsia—are inspired by Indian festivals and landscapes.

A common thread that binds these styles is the emphasis on craftsmanship and the use of natural materials, making them perfect for eco-friendly and sustainable designs. The use of wool, silk, wood, bone, and stone, among others, underscores a deep connection to the earth and traditional artisanal practices.

So, which ones resonates with your personal experiences, aesthetic preferences, and the ambiance you want to create?

Each style has its unique charm, narrative, and essence. Which one feels like home to you? Which one ignites your wanderlust or brings back cherished memories?

Let’s Create Your Global Style Design

Are you ready to transform your home into a sanctuary that not only looks amazing but also uplifts and supports you? Imagine that.

Think about living in a space that truly reflects who you are. How does it make you feel?

My approach to interior design, called Aligned Design, revolves around three key elements: art, science, and energy. It’s at the intersection of these three where the magic happens.

Creating a space that embraces your unique sense of beauty, color, and energy while attracting positivity in the form of prosperity, well-being, love, and self-expression aligns you with the universe. This alignment empowers you to lead your best life and make a positive impact on the world.

Global-style interior design, a part of this creative journey, is something you’ll truly enjoy as we embark on creating a space that’s perfectly tailored to you.

What is Globally Inspired, Soulfully Aligned?

Globally Inspired and Soulfully Aligned is a New Design Frontier. I have created a collection of collages created with AI and fractal energy art that combine Global Design styles worldly charm with the energy, alignment and emotional nurturing of my Aligned Design’s holistic approach. It’s a marriage of external beauty and internal harmony, ensuring that your surroundings are not just aesthetically pleasing but also soulfully enriching.

Each piece has subliminal energy messages from layers of fractal art designed to uplift and support you. My Heart of Morocco collection includes four layers from my Path with Heart collection and also my Attachments of the Heart Design.

My Path with Heart series emphasizes “All paths lead to the same place in the end. The important thing is that you pick a path with heart, do what you love, and enjoy the journey.” If you look closely, you will see numerous hearts from this collection throughout the design.

Each piece is also overlayed with my “Attachments of the Heart” design. The meaning of this piece is “Buddha said “the root of suffering is attachment”. The biggest cause of suffering in our lives comes from our attachments, or expectations of the way we think things should be.When we don’t get what we want or how we want it, we are unhappy. Attachments of the heart to our lovers, family, pets, and friends are often the hardest attachments to release. The key is to love, but not be attached to the outcome. Let it be what it is”.

While you may not see this large heart because of the transparancy of the design, and you may not notice all the small hearts, the subliminal message still comes through. The message is to live the path with heart without being attached to things for maximum well-being.

Moroccan style design is a melting pot of Andalusian, Berber, Persian, and many other cultural influences, resulting in a rich and distinct aesthetic. It’s renowned for its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and luxurious textures.

How Can Energy Art Help You Become More Aligned?

Energy art serves as a bridge between the tangible realm of design and the intangible energies that influence our emotions, behaviors, and inner truths. Here’s how energy art can assist in aligning you with your true self:

1. Resonance and Reflection: Energy art often resonates with viewers on a deep, personal level. Such art can reflect aspects of your subconscious or emotions, acting as a mirror to your inner world, helping you gain insights into your authentic self.

2. Shift in Energy: Energy Art, when infused with the energy of the artist, can shift the energy of a space. Being surrounded by energy-aligned art can aid in changing or enhancing your own vibrational frequency, thereby drawing you closer to alignment with your true self.

3. Catalyst for Meditation and Introspection: Energy art can be a focal point for meditation, offering an anchor for your thoughts. This can lead to profound self-awareness and understanding.

4. Stimulation of Positive Emotions: Energy artis intended to evoke specific feelings or states of being. Such positive stimulation can help clear mental and emotional blocks, guiding you to resonate more with your true feelings and desires.

5. Connection to Higher Realms: For those inclined spiritually, energy art can serve as a portal or connection to higher realms, spirit guides, or universal energies. This can be instrumental in understanding your life’s purpose or soul’s journey.

6. Enhancement of Healing: Energy art can catalyze healing—be it emotional, mental, or spiritual. This healing can strip away layers of trauma, pain, or societal conditioning, revealing the genuine self beneath.

7. Aid in Visualization: Such art can assist in visualizing goals, desires, or aspects of yourself you may wish to understand or manifest better.

8. Affirmations and Intentions: Many pieces of energy art come with specific intentions or affirmations. Regularly viewing and connecting with these affirmations can embed these positive messages deeper into one’s psyche, facilitating alignment with core values and beliefs.

In essence, energy art is a powerful tool that merges aesthetics, intention, and vibrational frequencies. When engaged with purposefully, it becomes more than just a visual treat—it transforms into a dynamic guide, leading you closer to understanding and embodying your authentic self.

How Can Energy Art Help Attract More Wealth, Health and Abundance?

Energy art, with its intentional fusion of aesthetics and vibrational resonance, serves as a conduit for positive energies and manifestations.  Here’s how energy art might assist in drawing wealth, health, and love into one’s life:

1. Frequency Alignment for Wealth: The law of attraction says that like attracts like. By surrounding oneself with energy art that resonates with the frequency of abundance and prosperity, one might raise their personal vibration to match that of wealth, thus attracting financial opportunities and prosperity.

2. Promoting Health: Energy art, especially pieces designed to emanate calm, balance, and rejuvenation, can foster an environment of relaxation and positivity. This can reduce stress, a major culprit behind many health issues, and promote healing and well-being. Additionally, art pieces that resonate with vitality and vigor can serve as a daily reminder and motivator to pursue healthy habits.

3. Attracting Love: Energy art focused on love, compassion, and partnership can serve to open one’s heart and make them more receptive to giving and receiving love. The art can not only attract romantic love but can also strengthen familial bonds, friendships, and self-love. It acts as a visual representation of the love one wishes to manifest, making the intention clear and tangible.

See my Saturday Night Live Art Show, “Have You Found Your Twin Flame”?

4. Harmonizing Space: The placement of energy art can harmonize the flow of chi or energy in a space, based on principles similar to Feng Shui. A harmonized space is believed to remove blocks and make the flow of positive energies like wealth, health, and love smoother and more natural.

5. Stimulating Positive Thoughts and Actions: Being surrounded by energy art that embodies what you desire (be it wealth, health, or love) can serve as a daily affirmation. This can lead to more positive thoughts, which in turn can manifest in positive actions, decisions, and outcomes.

6. Cultivating Gratitude:  Gratitude is a powerful magnet for abundance in all its forms. Energy art can serve as a reminder of the universe’s bounties and encourage a daily practice of gratitude, which in turn can attract even more to be grateful for.

7. Enhancing Connectivity: Energy art can promote a sense of connection—to oneself, to others, and to the universe. This connectivity can foster deeper relationships, better understanding of oneself (leading to better health choices), and a sense of abundance.

In essence, energy art becomes a tangible reflection of one’s intentions. By consciously interacting with and acknowledging these intentions through art, one is taking an active step toward manifesting the desires of wealth, health, and love in their life.

At the end of a long day, what is nicer than having a beautiful space that you love to unwind and relax.

Kick back and enjoy a wonderful glass of wine with your family, friends, or just your amazing self.

So what do you need? Your perfect space and a perfect glass of wine.

Create Your Perfect Space

Let’s start with creating your perfect space. A place that feels like your sanctuary, tells your story, and gives you a feeling of comfort and relaxation as soon as you walk in.

As an example, I created this beautiful Bohemian style living room that celebrates jewel tones mixed with beautiful woods, soft denim. upholstered walls,  colorful global style rugs and pillows, unique artisan tables, one-of-a-kind art, and beautiful lighting.

Follow your heart’s desire!

Add vintage pieces, globally inspired textiles, and rugs, and display your collections of cool things found at markets. thrift stores and in your travels.

Add glamorous fabrics, lighting, and accessories. Anything goes if it makes you happy.

Bohemian style is a global design style. Global styles are all about your worldly adventures and telling your story! They are usually very colorful, rich in bold designs and natural textures, patterns, colors, and arts and crafts of various cultures.

Each piece has a story and becomes a conversation starter. Treasures are displayed without rules or grouping by the part of the world each piece is from. Mix antiques with modern pieces, and natural objects such as animal horns, plants, and rocks add to the charm.

While global design styles are eclectic and may mix and match items from a variety of countries, you may be drawn to the colors and cultural artifacts of some countries more than others.

For style elements, I created a mono-chromatic color scheme using denim blue for the relaxing feeling it evokes. I upholstered the walls with denim for a unique look. I mixed that with beautiful wood furniture and hardwood maple flooring to give an earthy and relaxed feeling that brings the outside in, mixed with my unique fractal art. I mixed different textures and styles with velvet, cotton, leather, wood, rattan, textured pottery and wool.

I mixed modern side chairs with a more rustic and ethnic coffee table and side tables. I mixed my modern computer fractal art with faux horn mirrors. The rug has a vintage look against the modern sofa and velvet side chair.

My design is more curated, and less is more.

I used this beautiful Kachina maple flooring from the Revel Woods Skyway Collection.

Named for the petroglyphs, this natural bridge in National Monument, Utah is the widest and youngest bridge in the park. The rich colors and variation of this natural maple floor are inspired by this natural bridge.

According to Revel Woods, “Perhaps the most important symbol of human ingenuity is the bridge. Whether it’s crossing a fast-moving river, or spanning a dangerous crevasse, a bridge makes these impossible tasks so simple we tend to take them for granted, yet there is a tremendous amount of science and technology that goes into each one. For our American Skyways Collection we looked to these engineering marvels for inspiration as we present a flooring collection that bridges the gap between traditional looks and modern technology. This collection is a very traditional look, but contains several technological advancements such as a bleeding-edge flex core technology to improve performance, as well as our new R-air finish, which neutralizes harmful compounds to create cleaner air in the space”.

My fractal art is called The Sea and is based on the beautiful colors and feeling of white caps on the ocean. The blues bring the outside in and create a calm and relaxing atmosphere. They work beautifully with the denim velvet upholstered walls.

Create Your Wine-Bar

Creating a small wine bar area is easy. Find a cabinet that you love that can store some of your favorite bottles of wine, and your favorite glassware, and a Plum Wine Dispenser! It does not need to take a lot of space.  The setup in your living room enables you to enjoy the perfect glass of your favorite wine in your favorite room, easily. And, it is a great place to entertain friends.

In this design, I used a cabinet with a combination of open and closed shelves with room for wine bottles, glasses, and a few decorative items, and of course the Plum Wine Dispenser. The Plum can sit on a countertop or can be built in to the wall. The focal point is the beautiful watercolor wallpaper mural that sets the space apart.

The Plum Wine Dispenser fits right on your countertop or wherever you choose to create your mini-bar.

It holds two bottles of wine and automatically preserves, chills, and serves any bottle by the glass.

Change the Look

Change the look with some different area rugs or paint colors. All of these could work.

There are a lot of reasons to love Global Style Interior Design. One is that it is all about you, and telling the story of your life, adventures, the things you love  in your space. It is a total expression and celebration of you. Does that sound selfish? It’s OK, it is your house. Of course it is about you!

Each piece tells your story. Celebrate your  treasures, old and new. modern and vintage, from various parts of the world.

Create a rich tapestry of color, texture, art and history. 

In a previous article, I talked about 10 reasons to love global style design.  Let’s talk about my favorite reason, that it celebrates color, and how you can use it to spark some joy in your life.

Within global-style interior design, a captivating aspect that resonates with me is the vivacious spectrum of bold colors.

These hues are a direct reflection of the origins and cultures, drawing inspiration from the landscapes, flora, spices, national symbols, and even flags of various countries.

Although inherently vibrant, the world of global design also unveils remarkable instances where neutrals and whites harmoniously mingle with layers of textures and metallic accents.

To capture this essence, consider embracing bold choices—a striking wall color or an exquisite rug that becomes the palette’s cornerstone. These handmade, eco-friendly rugs are veritable artworks for your floor, blending utility and aesthetics.

You might derive your color palette from the rug, letting it inspire choices for walls, pillows, accessories, and art. Alternatively, if a more subdued backdrop appeals to you, allow your rug’s colors to shine as the focal point.

In essence, global-style design is a canvas of color that tells stories of distant lands and their distinctive identities. Whether bold or muted, these palettes are portals to culture, connecting your space with a world of history and beauty.

Here are some examples of some global style designs I have created using the color palettes of different countries, and often their rugs for inspiration.

Yellows, Golds and Orange

Yellows and golds are great colors to use in modern global style, Bohemian, Turkish,  Indian and Mexican style designs.

Above I created this beautiful Indian-style living room using a yellow/gold wall color. Learn more in my article Get the Look_ Global Style- Indian.

Below I created a modern global style Edesign for a living room using a a gorgeous handmade wool rug from Egypt as the centerpiece, and a gold wall color. The room would still have been beautiful with an off white wall color.

Blues and Greens

Blues and greens are wonderful for Greek Style, Moroccan, Modern Global and Bohemian. They really can be used in any global style design, but tend to be most prevalent in areas near the ocean.

Red, Pinks, Purples

Reds are very common in Turkish, Mexican, Bohemian and Modern Global styles. Pinks are often used in Turkish design. Purples are used in Indian, Moroccan, Bohemian and Modern Global styles. As an example, see my Edesign for a Modern Global Style bedroom below and some favorite rugs in these colors.

Black, White and Neutral

Try black, white or gray wall colors or area rugs to get the look of modern global style, Bohemian, Turkish, and Moroccan styles. As an example, see the Edesign I created above with light gray walls and a beautiful Moroccan rug.  Learn more in my article Great Paint Color Schemes- Black, White and Shades of Gray.

Below, I used a rich dark gray wall color and a beautiful Turkish rug. Learn more in my article  Do you Need an Alignment?

Black, white and neutrals can really be used with any style if you choose. Go neutral or add a color or two for high contrast.

Global Style Interior Design weaves the narrative of your life’s journeys into your living space. Every artifact holds a tale, sparking engaging conversations. It’s a curated collection of treasures, both aged and contemporary, sourced from diverse corners of the world. This design approach creates a symphony of color, texture, art, and heritage. Dive into these 10 compelling reasons to embrace the global style, accompanied by decor inspirations to help you achieve this eclectic aesthetic

Global Style Celebrates Color

Global Style Interior Design captivates me, especially with its vibrant and bold hues. The colors that define a country often draw inspiration from its landscapes, flora, spices, emblems, and even its national flags, seldom settling for mere neutrals.

Global Style Celebrates Artisans

Global style is a mosaic of distinctive art, each piece echoing the vibrant hues and cultural nuances of different nations. For this Bohemian-style living room, I drew inspiration from my personal fractal art, a tribute to the sumptuous colors and intricate textures that epitomize Bohemian elegance.

Global Styles are Connected to the Outdoors

I’m enamored by how global styles often harmoniously intertwine their colors and patterns with nature. For instance, in the Greek-style living room I curated, the design is deeply resonant with the coastal vibes—reflecting the azure hues of the Greek sea and sky, the earthy tones of its rocky terrains, and the vibrant shades of its indigenous flora.

Global Style Loves Pattern and Color

Global style thrives on the artful fusion of captivating textures and intricate patterns. From the gentle caress of silk to the tactile embrace of textured wool, the allure of carved wood, and the sophistication of metals adorned with elaborate embossed or cut-out motifs—these elements converge harmoniously. When combined with the enchanting cultural patterns adorning rugs, pillows, and artwork, they create a masterpiece of layering. Just like this meticulously crafted design for a global style living room, where every glance reveals a tapestry of rich diversity and captivating allure.

Global Style Tells Your Story

Global style is your canvas to narrate your unique tale. Be it Bohemian whimsy or minimalist elegance, the charm of vintage or the edge of modern, vibrant hues or subdued palettes – it’s about weaving your narrative. Choose global elements that resonate with you, just like in this contemporary global style living room, and let your space echo your individuality

Global Styles Celebrate Culture and History

Global style reveres the rich tapestry of cultures and histories from which they emerge. It can be a singular ode to one nation or a melange of inspirations from across the globe. To truly encapsulate its essence, consider integrating decor unique to a specific culture. Take, for instance, this design inspired by Turkish aesthetics. Turkey, renowned for its exquisite Kilim rugs, beautifully exemplifies how specific cultural artifacts can elevate a space.

Global Style Celebrates the Magic of Lighting

The allure of global style designs is amplified by their captivating lighting choices. Often handcrafted, these luminaries feature intricate metal cutouts that cast enchanting patterns of light, akin to the magic found in many Moroccan and Turkish homes. Mexico also excels in crafting exquisite lighting, exemplifying how lighting transcends mere function to become a hallmark of beauty. 

Global Style Design Mixes Old and New

Global style is the perfect dance between the time-honored and the contemporary. In spaces like this Vintage Boho Office, there’s a seamless blend of the modern with relics from the past. Treasured items, such as Moroccan rugs, often bear the weight of generational stories. By interweaving cultural artifacts, cherished family heirlooms, and contemporary accents, you’re not just designing a space—you’re curating a visual biography of your life and lineage.

Global Style Celebrates Your Adventures

Global Style Interior Design is like weaving the chapters of your adventures into your living space. It brings to life the tales of places you’ve been by showcasing the treasures you’ve gathered along the way. Take, for instance, this Mexican-inspired dining area where the handmade lighting casts shadows reminiscent of Mexican evenings. It’s a sensory journey, right in your home.

Global Style is Eco-Friendly

Global style is intrinsically tied to nature, championing eco-friendly and sustainable design practices. Central to its ethos is the utilization of authentic, natural materials. From plush wool rugs that cradle your feet, to metallic accents that reflect tradition, intricately carved wooden furniture that narrates craftsmanship, to tactile leather and versatile rattan. There’s also the timeless appeal of natural stone and the earthen touch of pottery. Each element not only adds aesthetic value but also underscores a commitment to the environment and reverence for the natural world

There are 10 great reasons to love global style design.

One of my favorite reasons is that Global style design is great at bringing the outside in to your designs, to help you feel connected and relaxed by surrounding yourself with the beauty of nature.

What is Global Style?

Global style tells the story of your life and adventures with things you have collected in your travels and local adventures. Highlighting unique, colorful, and beautiful art and crafts is a wonderful way to create your perfect space.

Each piece tells part of your story while creating a rich tapestry of color, texture, art, and history.  And you get the added benefit of supporting local and international artists and their communities.

How Global Style Brings the Outside In

Global styles are very connected to their natural environments.  They often take their color palettes and design elements from the landscape, plants, and animals of the area.

Art, accessories, and rugs highlight colors and motifs based on natural and unique features of the culture.

This has the effect of creating the feeling o bringing the outside in, or making your interior space feel connected to the outdoors.

For example, I wrote a series of articles showing how the colors and patterns of different global styles were related to their culture and landscapes.

Here are a few examples. They contain affiliate links which means I may make a small commission for sharing with you at no additional cost to you.

Indian Style

Indian style design creates inviting, informal, relaxed spaces filled with bright colored hand spun fabrics with paisley patterns, floor cushions around colorful rugs, intricate mandala motifs and nature-inspired themes with flowers, birds, animals

What Story Does Your Landscape Tell?

Look around. What are the colors, shapes and inspiring things about your landscape that you can connect to your indoor spaces?

What are the main things you see from the windows into your main living areas?

Consider your surroundings. Do you live in the mountains, a forest, on the ocean or in a city?

What is your view?

What are the prominent colors and how do they change with the seasons?

Some of my Landscape Stories

Here are some of the colors, shapes, and inspiration from my landscape here in Seward Alaska that shape what I try to bring indoors into my space and my designs.

How Can You Bring the Outside In?

It is easy to get started by picking art or accessories that have nature-inspired designs.  Look for things that reflect the area you live in or a place you love to go. Maybe you are inspired by the scenery, water, plants or animals. You can also use your selection as an inspiration piece to build your color palette.

Art and Accessories Inspired by Water

Live near water? Here are some pieces of art inspired by the ocean or other water bodies you might like. Try a watery color scheme of greens and blues.

Art and Accesories Inspired by Plants

Live near a forest or have trees and shrubs in your yard? Try lighting, art, or accessories based on plant motifs.

Art and Accessories Inspired by Animals

Abstract Art Inspored by Nature

Before I became a designer, I was a wildlife biologist in Alaska for 20 years and 10 years before that in Arizona. I was always fascinated by the beauty of nature, the colors, the patterns of the landscapes, plants, and animals. Whether it was the amazing patterns I could see of the section of a plant under a microscope to the big picture view of doing wildlife surveys in a plane, those experiences influence the fractal art I create today. It is all related to nature in some way. Check out some of my fractal art below and visit my stores on Society 6 and Vida to see more.

Why Connecting with Nature Matters

As humans, we want to be connected with nature and other living things such as people, animals and plants.  This longing for “connection” with other life forms is called “biophilia”.

As humans, we have always been connected to nature, for survival, sustenance, spiritual renewal, and inspiration. Mother nature is the best designer there is, with her endless abundance of beautiful color palettes, shapes, patterns, and textures. Spending time in nature is good for our health and wellbeing.

Learn more in my article, Healthy Home- Feel Good with Biophilia.

Look at your surroundings and find the colors and inspiration from the outdoors that it meaningful to you, and bring some into your space.
