Moroccan design has an enduring quality that makes it well-suited to outdoor living. At its heart, it's about pattern used with confidence, warm terracotta and cobalt tones, textured surfaces, and the sense that a space is layered and inhabited rather than staged. It's a direction that feels both distinctive and genuinely relaxed — which is exactly what a well-used Australian outdoor area should be.
The Mojo Marrakesh range, available at Bunnings, is built around this sensibility. Here's how to bring it into your space.
The Marrakesh Pattern
The Marrakesh print is a classic geometric repeat — the kind of pattern that reads clearly from a distance and rewards closer attention. It has the visual rhythm of traditional Moroccan zellige tilework translated into a soft furnishing context: confident without being overwhelming, decorative without being fussy.
Mojo's Marrakesh range includes the blue and white Marrakesh bench cushion and chair cushion covers, the Marrakesh terracotta cushion cover, and the blue Marrakesh cover — giving you flexibility to work with both warm and cool tones within the same print language.
Warm vs. Cool Marrakesh Directions
The terracotta and warm-toned Marrakesh colourway suits outdoor spaces with natural materials — timber decking, sandstone pavers, rendered brick, rattan furniture. The warmth of the pattern amplifies the warmth of the materials around it and creates a setting that feels grounded and unhurried.
The blue and white Marrakesh direction is crisper and more graphic. It works beautifully in contemporary or coastal settings — against white render, charcoal pavers, or powder-coated aluminium outdoor furniture. The contrast is sharper and the mood is more energetic.
Mixing Marrakesh with Other Patterns
The Marrakesh print is strong enough to anchor a setting on its own, but it also mixes well when you follow a few simple rules. Pair it with a smaller-scale stripe — the Mojo Cabana Stripe in a shared colourway — to add rhythm without confusion. Bring in a botanical or leaf print in a similar tone to add softness. And always balance patterned cushions with at least one or two solid-colour pieces that let the eye rest.
In a Moroccan-inspired outdoor space, solid-colour cushions in terracotta, burnt orange, deep cobalt, or dusty olive act as the mortar between the patterned tiles — they hold the composition together and give the bolder patterns room to breathe.
Flooring and Surfaces That Support the Look
Pattern-rich cushion styling works best against quieter surfaces. Charcoal concrete pavers, natural stone, and plain timber decking all make ideal backdrops for the Marrakesh range. Avoid highly patterned tiles or terrazzo if you want the cushions to lead the space — complexity at ground level competes with complexity at seated level.
If you're working with an existing outdoor space that already has patterned elements, lean toward the simpler Moroccan scroll or single-colourway Marrakesh covers and let the surrounding environment carry more of the visual weight.
Completing the Look
Moroccan outdoor spaces typically have a generous, layered quality. Don't stop at the lounge — add bench cushions in the Marrakesh print, floor cushions in complementary solids, and if the space allows, a Mojo bean bag cover in charcoal or beige as a casual seating anchor. The more the pattern repeats across different seat heights, the more the space feels like it was designed together rather than assembled separately.
