The design is pared back, featuring a monochrome scheme. While occasional splashes of local color are present, the prevailing palette consists of a subtle mix of silver, taupe, white, and muted yellow. Alongside simple textures and understated patterns, this tonal selection provides a soothing visual experience.

Barkowski made a commendable effort in tending to the smallest detail: even the textiles are of her own design. She picked the sleek, modern furniture to complete the interiors, making sure the design choices don’t upstage the classic building.
A typical Moroccan design has a tendency of descending into a headache-giving hodgepodge of materials, patterns and colours. Dar Kawa provides a respite
It offers a sophisticated interpretation of the Moroccan aesthetic. Modern design solutions and refreshing tones create spaces that feel both contemporary and personal, yet they are also imbued with the exotic atmosphere of desert adventures long gone.
The clarity of shades and lines, along with skillful reinterpretations of traditional elements and personal touches, make Dar Kawa a haven of tranquility and style.
