Moroccan Beni Ourain Wool Rug – Soft Elegance for Timeless Interiors

Add a touch of elegance to your home with our Moroccan Beni Ourain wool rug. Measuring 8.3 x 5.7 ft (252 x 176 cm), this classic piece blends tribal heritage with contemporary sophistication. Its creamy white wool, combined with minimalist black lines, creates a calm, stylish aesthetic perfect for modern and traditional interiors alike.

This decorative accent rug adds warmth, texture, and visual harmony—while preserving centuries-old Moroccan craftsmanship.


Crafted by Hand in the Middle Atlas Mountains

Beni Ourain rugs are woven by Berber women from the Beni Ourain tribe in Morocco’s Middle Atlas region. Each piece is hand-knotted using time-honored methods passed down through generations. The geometric symbols—often diamonds, zigzags, or crosses—carry meaning rooted in ancestral Amazigh beliefs.

When you own a Beni Ourain rug, you're not just investing in a product. You're preserving a legacy of cultural expression through textile art.


Plush, Premium Wool for Comfort and Durability

This rug is made from 100% natural sheep wool, sheared and processed by hand. Its plush texture feels soft underfoot and brings warmth to any space. Wool also has natural insulating properties, making it cozy in winter and cool in summer.

With its thick pile and dense knotting, this Beni Ourain rug is not only luxurious but also highly durable—ideal for everyday living.


Understated Patterns with Powerful Symbolism

The rug features a clean white background adorned with a network of black geometric lines. While the pattern may appear simple, it’s filled with meaning—each shape representing life, fertility, protection, or tribal stories. The asymmetry in the design is intentional, offering authenticity and uniqueness.

Minimalist yet deeply expressive, it’s a striking example of form meeting function through artistry.


Perfect Fit for a Variety of Interior Styles

The Beni Ourain rug’s subtle palette and symmetrical design make it exceptionally versatile. It complements:

  • Modern minimalist rooms with neutral tones

  • Scandinavian spaces using soft textures and light woods

  • Bohemian interiors layered with textiles and vintage elements

  • Wabi-sabi aesthetics that value simplicity and imperfection

Wherever you place it, the rug adds warmth and an earthy, grounded beauty.


Sustainably and Ethically Produced

Each rug supports a small artisan community in Morocco, where women hand-knot the wool in rural cooperatives. Wool is a renewable resource, and most Beni Ourain rugs use natural or low-impact dyes. The slow, handmade process ensures thoughtful consumption.

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.
