Morocco is home to some of the most beautiful hand-crafted items and colorful graphic textiles. One of these items that is a great choice for any interior is the Moroccan pouf, a round leather embroidered ottoman. It comes in a full range of color options, and in metallic or non-metallic leathers, and can be as ornate or as simple as you'd like. Poufs often come filled, or you can order them unfilled and then just buy polystyrene balls or cotton filling locally. They're also really versatile and can be used for seating, as a foot stool, as a small table, or just to look pretty! Just one pouf is a lovely touch for your living room or bedroom or you can go with multiples; "the more the merrier" definitely applies here. To see my picks for Good, Better, and Best, read more
Good: Authentic Morocco's multi-colored, gold-detailed poufs ($75), while beautifully hand-crafted, are a little too ornate for most homes. With the right décor, they could definitely be pulled off, but I don't think they're the best option for most homes. They also do not come filled. But, Vogue did feature them, so maybe I'm wrong...
Better: Tazi Designs has a large selection of poufs ($155-$185) in almost every color with very sophisticated embroidery, in some cases in a contrasting color. Their poufs come unfilled, but can be filled for an additional $30. Another plus: shipping is free!
Best: Mosaik Moroccan Interiors is my pick for best poufs ($249-$990) because of their great color choices, elegant embroidery, and their selection of over-sized table-like ottomans. They actually even sell an Oversized Leather Table that is embroidered with the look of poufs.
If these poufs aren't good enough for you, I've also spotted some great ones at John Derian, Calypso, Just Morocco, Momo Interiors, and Plantation.

i like the better ones the best! the red color is great!
1They are unexpected in a space.. making it fun!! I don't really like the 'good' one.. but could be awesome in a sparse room.
2Be sure to check out each of the sellers' other poufs for Good, Better, and Best. There are plenty to look at/choose from!
3I love the Tazi one. Moroccan design is one of my favorites.
4i like morrocan design but all the white makes me feel a littl cold.
5Not a fan...
6They're nice.
7Love, love, love all things Moroccan. I sooo wanted to buy one of these things when I made a once-in-a lifetime trip to Morocco last summer, but I didn't want to carry stuff around. Now I'm kicking myself...
8When I was in Morocco I got one of these when I was in the souk and every time I see it, it brings back great memories
9Actually if you live in DC, you can get authentic puffs and pillows at alot of different shops in the Adams Morgan neighborhood for $35 to $100, same exact one with the thick colorful leather. I bought my mom about 4 of them.
