Moroccan interiors specialist Maroque has launched a free booklet offering tips on how to give your home a flavour of the exotic.

A Touch of Maroque, which can be downloaded from the online shop’s website, features how to use key colours – terracotta, cinnamon, cobalt and azure blues – and accessories including lanterns, floor cushions and fountains, to give your home a classic yet contemporary Moroccan feel.

The booklet has an array of pictures aimed at providing ideas for your living spaces, from warm and bold, to cool and calm.

Maroque has a wide range of all things Moroccan, from lighting to furniture and ceramics, including the iconic tagine, along with Middle Eastern ingredients and spices.

The website also offers decorating ideas to inspire, a host of recipes including ideas on entertaining, a guide to the more unusual ingredients – and even how to wire a Moroccan lamp.
