Everything we get asked about interior design.
Do I need a diploma to be an interior designer in Morocco?
No specific diploma or authorization for interior designers was found in the official texts consulted. Consulting, layout and decoration remain a free service, as long as it stays clear of acts reserved for architects or works subject to permits.
When do I need an architect on my projects?
As soon as the project involves a construction or alteration subject to a building permit: law 12-90 requires a permit for the alterations concerned and any façade modification (article 40), and makes recourse to a registered architect a condition for obtaining the permit (article 50).
Can I sign the plans and monitor compliance myself?
No, not in cases governed by law 12-90: architectural design, the graphic and written documents required for the permit, coordination with technical studies and compliance monitoring up to the occupancy permit belong to the architect (article 53). Your studio designs and drives the decor; the architect signs what must be signed.
What VAT on my services?
Ordinary law applies: no special regime was found for decoration. Note that if your services include construction works or installation and repair operations, VAT may be triggered under articles 89-I-4° or 89-I-5° of the 2026 Tax Code depending on the exact nature of the operation. Your Charikaty accountant qualifies your services from the start.
What is the main legal risk of the profession?
Encroaching on reserved acts: producing or signing architectural documents, or steering permit-subject works without a registered architect (law 12-90, articles 50 and 53). A clear contractual scope in your quotes protects you; we provide the templates.
