Beni Ourain Wool Rug – Authentic Moroccan Elegance
The Beni Ourain wool rug is the epitome of timeless Moroccan craftsmanship and understated luxury. This 10 × 6 ft (305 × 185 cm) rug is handwoven by Berber artisans in the Atlas Mountains using 100% natural sheep’s wool. Its plush ivory pile, combined with the traditional diamond Beni design, creates a centerpiece that is as functional as it is beautiful.
Origins of the Beni Ourain Tradition
Beni Ourain rugs originate from the Beni Ourain tribes of the Middle Atlas Mountains. For centuries, these Berber families have crafted rugs to provide warmth, comfort, and artistic expression. Each piece is unique, carrying symbolic motifs inspired by nature, spirituality, and daily life. Traditionally, these rugs were used as blankets, floor coverings, and protective layers in nomadic tents, embodying both practical and cultural significance.
Handwoven Craftsmanship
This Beni Ourain wool rug is not machine-made. Each strand of wool is hand-spun, dyed naturally, and carefully woven on traditional looms. The wool pile is thick and soft, ensuring both comfort and durability. Artisans dedicate weeks or even months to complete one rug, making every piece a work of art. The geometric diamond pattern, a hallmark of Beni Ourain design, symbolizes harmony and protection, connecting your space to centuries of cultural heritage.
Luxurious Materials
Only the finest sheep’s wool from the Atlas Mountains is used in the making of these rugs. The wool is prized for its natural softness, durability, and insulating qualities. Unlike synthetic fibers, wool is breathable and resilient, offering warmth in the winter while staying cool in the summer. This makes the Beni Ourain rug not only luxurious but also practical for everyday living.
A Statement for Modern Interiors
The minimalist black-on-white diamond design blends seamlessly into various interior styles. Whether your home embraces bohemian, Scandinavian, eclectic, or modern minimalism, a Beni Ourain rug adds depth, warmth, and sophistication. Its neutral palette complements any décor, while its handwoven character brings authenticity and soul to the space.
Functionality Meets Style
At 10 × 6 ft (305 × 185 cm), this rug offers generous coverage for living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas. Its thick wool pile provides comfort underfoot while also serving as a natural insulator. A Beni Ourain rug is not only a decorative statement but also a functional investment that enhances your everyday comfort.
Timeless Appeal
The appeal of Beni Ourain rugs has transcended borders. Mid-century designers like Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto famously incorporated them into modern interiors, cementing their reputation as timeless design icons. Today, they remain a favorite among interior designers and homeowners seeking both tradition and elegance. Their ability to age gracefully only enhances their value, making them a lasting addition to your home.
A Worthwhile Investment
Unlike mass-produced carpets, each Beni Ourain rug is unique. With proper care, it will last for generations, becoming softer and more beautiful with time. This durability, combined with its cultural and aesthetic value, makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking authenticity and quality.
Cultural and Artistic Value
When you purchase a Beni Ourain wool rug, you are supporting a centuries-old tradition and the livelihoods of Berber artisans. Each rug tells a story of heritage, resilience, and creativity. Owning such a piece connects you to Morocco’s artistic legacy and brings cultural richness into your 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.

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.
