Dark blue Moroccan door with floral motifs

by Monique Tekstra-van Lochem

A striking dark blue wooden door in Chefchaouen, the famous blue city in northern Morocco. The double door has an elegant arched shape and is decorated with hand-painted floral motifs and geometric patterns in turquoise, red, orange, green and white.

The deep indigo-blue colour contrasts beautifully with the light, almost white wall surrounding it. Refined decorative patterns run along the edges of the door, whilst two symmetrical floral ornaments in the centre catch the eye. The weathered turquoise paint at the bottom gives the door a lived-in, authentic character. A green climbing plant along the top corner adds a natural touch.

Chefchaouen is situated in the Rif Mountains and is renowned for its blue-painted medina, traditional architecture and colourful doors. This richly decorated entrance showcases just how remarkable the details of Moroccan buildings can be.

As wall art, this architectural photograph is a real eye-catcher. The combination of dark blue, turquoise and warm colour accents complements natural materials, warm woods, terracotta and light-coloured interiors beautifully. This photograph also looks stunning in a bohemian, eclectic or Mediterranean interior.

A characterful work of art for lovers of Morocco, distinctive doors, colourful architecture and authentic travel photography.
