 Beni Ourain rug – Beni Ourain Heritage

Handcrafted by skilled Berber women from the renowned Beni Ourain tribe in the Middle Atlas, this Black and White Moroccan Rug tells historical tales while capturing the essence of tradition. Its diamond patterns are meticulously woven to reflect artistry passed down through generations. Each rug is more than a floor covering—it’s a cultural masterpiece that brings Moroccan heritage into your home.

The Timeless Appeal of  Beni Ourain rug

Beni Ourain rugs are famous for their bold black and white designs. Their iconic diamond motifs symbolize protection, spirituality, and daily life. For centuries, these rugs have been prized not only for their beauty but also for their practicality in mountain life. Today, the Black and White Moroccan Rug continues this tradition, blending ancient symbolism with modern design aesthetics.

Handmade Craftsmanship and Premium Wool

Every rug is hand-knotted on traditional looms using 100% natural sheep wool. The wool is carefully washed, spun, and hand-dyed before weaving begins. The high-pile texture provides warmth underfoot, while the natural fibers ensure durability. This handmade process requires weeks of detailed work, making each rug a one-of-a-kind piece. Unlike machine-made carpets, no two Beni Ourain rugs are exactly the same.

The Perfect Size for Versatile Styling

This rug measures 8 x 4.9 ft (243 x 151 cm), making it suitable for a wide range of spaces. It fits beautifully under a coffee table, alongside a bed, or in a reading nook. Its rectangular shape allows for flexibility in layout, while its diamond patterns create movement and symmetry in your space. Perfect for both small and medium-sized rooms, it adds balance and harmony.

Decorating with black and white Moroccan rug

Black and white décor never goes out of style. This rug pairs effortlessly with natural woods, neutral tones, or bold accents. In a modern living room, it becomes the focal point. In a minimalist bedroom, it adds warmth and softness. Designers love these rugs for their ability to blend into almost any interior theme while still standing out as a statement piece.

Sustainable and Ethical Choice

By purchasing this rug, you support Berber artisans who preserve weaving traditions. Each rug provides fair income for women in rural Moroccan communities. Wool is a renewable, biodegradable material that ensures sustainability and eco-friendliness. Investing in a Black and White Rug not only enhances your décor but also contributes to cultural preservation and ethical craftsmanship.

A Timeless Investment

A Black and White Moroccan Rug is more than a stylish addition—it is a long-term investment in culture and quality. Its natural wool fibers ensure durability, while the traditional Beni Ourain patterns never go out of fashion. Whether used in a modern loft, a cozy living room, or a minimalist office, this rug brings elegance and authenticity that will endure for generations.

Caring for Your Rug

With proper care, this rug can last for decades. Vacuum gently on both sides to keep fibers clean. For stains, blot with mild detergent and cold water—avoid scrubbing. Let the rug dry flat to maintain its shape. Professional cleaning every few years is recommended. By following these steps, you’ll preserve its texture, softness, and timeless beauty.

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.

How do you package the rugs to make sure they arrive safely?

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.
