Morocco: and DIY design?

BBC Homes has a Design Inspiration site that provides suggestions for a range of decorating styles and budgets.  The reader can search by room or design style (traditional, minimal, modern, global, etc). 

Under the global style category, I noticed that one of the entries was about how to create a Mesmerizing Moroccan bedroom.  The room was designed by Graham Wynne and features a back lit fretwork headboard.  The page  provides ideas for spicing up a boring bedroom to create a modern Moroccan mecca using traditional materials in a contemporary way.   

I love fretwork and grew up in a house filled with antique Persian mashroobiya. The idea of using it in new and creative ways appeals to me.  We have a few large old pieces that we are hoping to incorporate into our guest houses.  Hmmmm...  a headboard?  Maybe...  Cabinets?  Possibly....

Take a stroll around the site and see what design inspiration you might find.  Be forewarned, however, that the quality of what is provided can be quite uneven.  For example, for the Moroccan bedroom it is suggested that you create your own Moroccan relics by smashing a patterned brick into chunks and placing it in box frames to look like original museum pieces.   What?!  Promise me that you won't do that, okay?
