Aren't these rooms gorgeous?  Why not do something like this?  It used to be that when creating an "ethnic" inspired room the brighter and busier the better.  I love how both designers use such a concise palate and such a tailored scheme where you may expect turquoise, fuchsia, gold glitter and Buddha busts.  If you dream of adding Morocco or the Orient to your interiors here is a list of things to get you started.

lanterns
ikat prints
Asian or bamboo furniture
