Moroccan rug

North African carpet

A Moroccan rug is a handwoven carpet originating from Morocco, traditionally made by Berber tribes using wool and natural dyes.

These rugs are known for their distinctive geometric patterns, bold colors, and plush pile.

Styles vary by region—Beni Ourain rugs feature cream backgrounds with dark diamond motifs, while Azilal and Boucherouite rugs use brighter colors and recycled fabrics.

The Moroccan rug anchored the whole room.
