Authentic Beni Ourain Berber Rug – Moroccan Elegance in Every Thread

Elevate your space with the enchanting allure of a Beni Ourain Berber rug, handwoven by the legendary Berber tribes of Morocco's Middle Atlas Mountains. Each rug in our collection is a tribute to centuries-old artistry, crafted using natural wool and traditional techniques. Famed for its timeless diamond pattern and soft, plush texture, this rugS blends cultural richness with modern sophistication.


A Heritage Rooted in Moroccan Craftsmanship

The Beni Ourain rug originates from the Berber tribes known for their mastery in wool weaving. Woven in the high-altitude regions of the Atlas Mountains, this rug carries a story within each knot. Its geometric design, traditionally used to symbolize protection, fertility, and harmony, reflects Morocco’s deep spiritual and cultural history. Today, the Beni Ourain design is celebrated worldwide for its organic patterns, minimalist charm, and luxurious feel underfoot.


Artisan-Woven with Care and Precision

Each rug is handwoven using 100% natural sheep’s wool. The artisans—often Berber women—use wool sheared from local sheep, spun and dyed by hand. The soft, high-pile texture gives the rug a distinctively plush, shaggy appearance, ideal for cozy living rooms, modern bedrooms, or serene reading nooks.

You’ll find slight variations and irregularities in the weave—beautiful signs of handmade craftsmanship. The rug’s straight edges, simple fringe, and soft curves reflect generations of skill passed through families and communities.


Peaceful Neutral Palette for Versatile Styling

The rug’s palette is a calming mix of ivory and soft charcoal tones. This neutral color scheme complements a variety of interior styles, including bohemian, modern, Scandinavian, rustic, or Japandi-inspired rooms. Whether placed beneath a coffee table, layered over hardwood floors, or hung as a wall tapestry, the rug adds warmth, texture, and serenity to your space.

Its subtle diamond motifs appear to float across the ivory wool, creating visual interest without overwhelming the room. The rug acts as both an anchor and an accent, offering harmony and balance in your décor.


Perfect Size for Flexible Room Layouts

Sized to provide visual grounding and comfort, this Berber rug is ideal for mid- to large-sized rooms. Its rectangular shape fits beautifully in open-concept living spaces, under dining tables, or at the foot of a bed. Thanks to its balanced proportions, it’s easy to rearrange as your interior design evolves.

Looking to layer it with other rugs or pair it with Moroccan poufs, wood accents, or leather chairs? This rug seamlessly adjusts to different room configurations and styling moods.


Sustainable, Ethical, and One-of-a-Kind

Choosing a Beni Ourain Berber rug is more than a design decision—it’s a statement of support for sustainable and ethical craftsmanship. These rugs are woven using natural materials without the use of synthetic dyes or machinery. Many are created through women’s cooperatives that empower artisans economically while preserving traditional Moroccan weaving culture.

No two rugs are exactly alike, which means you’ll own a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece that carries history, spirit, and individuality.

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.

Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?

For US-customers, there is no customs fees (due to An agreement that went into effect on January 1, 2006, designed to create open and fair trade between the United States and Morocco.) For other international orders shipped outside of Morocco, please be aware that your country's customs office may impose import duties, taxes, or fees. These potential charges are the responsibility of the customer. Customs policies vary widely by country, so we recommend contacting your local customs office for specific information on potential duties before placing your order.

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.

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.
