Moroccan Beni Ourain wool rug: heritage, pattern, and warmth
This rug is crafted from 100% natural wool. The pile feels thick, plush, and resilient. Wool offers gentle sheen and lasting strength. It insulates in winter and breathes in summer. Comfort and durability live side by side.
The design features a diamond grid with tribal motifs. Crosses, stars, and lozenges animate the geometry. Patterns flow with pleasing rhythm and scale. The grid reads bold from a distance. Up close, the hand shows through beautifully.
A soft ivory field sets a serene base. Black lines deliver crisp definition and contrast. Terracotta red accents add earthy character. Grey notes introduce quiet depth and shadow. The palette feels neutral yet expressive.
Dimensions measure 12 x 6.4 ft, or 366 x 195 cm. The format suits living rooms and long halls. It anchors a sofa and two chairs with ease. It extends gracefully beside a bed. Proportions keep layouts flexible and calm.
A framed border completes the composition. The frame gathers the motifs into a clear field. It adds structure without stiffening the design. The border also helps placement feel intentional. Rooms read more ordered and welcoming.
Texture is a major pleasure here. The pile cushions each step with softness. Natural lanolin keeps fibers supple and lively. Light plays gently across the wool surface. The Moroccan Beni Ourain wool rug invites bare feet and lingering time.
Subtle irregularities affirm its handmade nature. Line weight shifts with human cadence. Motifs tighten, then relax along the grid. The result is movement without noise. That nuance enriches minimalist spaces.
Styling is straightforward and versatile. Pair with linen, oak, and matte ceramics. Add black accents to echo the lines. Warm brass and terracotta sing with the palette. Keep forms simple to let the rug lead.
Care is simple and sensible. Vacuum with a brushless head for safety. Rotate seasonally to even light and wear. Blot spills promptly with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and steam treatments. Professional hand-cleaning preserves beauty.
A quality Beni Ourain wool rug pad is recommended. Pads prevent slipping and reduce friction. They add cushioning and floor protection. Edges stay flatter and cleaner. Daily life feels quieter underfoot.
Provenance adds meaning to its beauty. Beni Ourain weavers translate landscape into geometry. Motifs carry memory, protection, and community. Wool reflects climate, terrain, and pastoral life. Pattern becomes lived history at home.
Context deepens appreciation of this craft. Explore the wider tradition of Berber carpets. A good starting point is Wikipedia’s overview. Knowledge makes the visual language clearer.
This 1960s piece blends restraint and richness. The diamond grid keeps order and calm. Tribal symbols add pulse and personality. Ivory grounds the room with gentle light. Accents bring warmth without weight.
Choose this rug for enduring character and comfort. It offers art you can live with daily. The palette supports many interior styles. The size unlocks easy, elegant layouts. The handwoven story welcomes people home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my Moroccan rug?
Caring for your Moroccan rug is simple! For regular maintenance, we recommend gently vacuuming it 1-2 times a week (use a suction-only attachment, without a beater bar) and air it outside every few months. For minor spills, act quickly by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, use a small amount of water and a gentle soap. For deep cleaning, we strongly recommend seeking a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool carpets to preserve the rug's natural fibers and vibrant colors for years to come.
◈ Vacuum Regularly → Use a low setting without a beater bar to protect the fibers.
◈ Blot Spills Immediately → Use a dry cloth for stains, gently dab with mild detergent and cold water.
◈ Protect from Moisture → Avoid excessive humidity and use a rug pad to extend its lifespan.
◈ Prevent Fading → Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
◈ Rotate Every Few Months → Ensures even wear and longevity.
◈ Fluff Maintain → If fibers flatten, gently brush with a soft-bristle brush.
◈ Deep Clean → Opt for professional hand-washing every 5 years or as needed.
◈ Sunbathe Monthly → If practical, let your rug in the sun occasionally. Sunlight's UV rays work as natural deodorizing and microbe protection.
◈ Avoid Harsh Chemicals → They can damage the natural wool fibers.

Expect your parcel to arrive within 6-15 business days, depending on your location. You will receive a tracking number via email as soon as your order is on its way.
Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?
Due to recent U.S. tariff changes, imports from Morocco are subject to a 10% duty plus standard customs fees; however, under our Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, we will take full responsibility for these import charges ourselves, so you won’t have to pay anything extra.
How do you package the rugs to make sure they arrive safely?
We guarantee that your rug will arrive safely and in excellent condition, having been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and, if necessary, restored prior to dispatch. We then fold it carefully and wrap it in multiple layers of durable, weather-resistant material to ensure it is fully protected from moisture and handling during its journey to you. We take every precaution to ensure your rug arrives in perfect condition.

To be eligible for a refund, the rug must be returned in its original, unused, and undamaged condition. Please note that for general returns, the customer is responsible for the full cost of the return shipping. We recommend using a trackable and insured shipping service.
Please remember that our rugs are handmade by artisans, not by machines. Slight variations in color, pattern, weave, and size are natural characteristics of these one-of-a-kind items. These charming imperfections are not considered defects but are part of the unique story and beauty of each piece.
Is Moroccan wool rugs durable and suitable for high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. Hand-knotted from 100% sheep wool, Moroccan rugs are renowned for their durability and resilience. Our rugs are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and other frequently used spaces, but be sure to follow care instructions, like rotating regularly, to keep it looking its best for years.
Do newly made wool Moroccan rugs shed?
It is completely normal for a new wool rug to shed a little at first. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibres and a sign of its authenticity. This initial shedding will decrease significantly over a few weeks with regular, gentle vacuuming.
Will the rug I receive look exactly like the one in the photo?
You will receive the exact rug shown in the photos. However, please remember that these are handmade items. We do our best to capture the colours accurately, but they may vary slightly depending on your screen's lighting and calibration. Any minor variations or "imperfections" in the pattern are part of the unique story and charm of your one-of-a-kind piece.
What are your rugs made of?
Our rugs are crafted from 100% natural, locally sourced sheep's wool. The wool's quality gives the rugs their signature softness, durability, and rich texture. The foundation (or warp) of the rug is sometimes made of cotton, which provides a strong and stable base for the wool knots.
