Beni Mrirt Rug – Plush Moroccan Elegance

This Blue Beni Mrirt Rug, measuring 10 by 6.8 feet (306 by 210 cm), is crafted from high-quality sheep wool. Its geometric designs bring bold artistry to your room, while the natural wool ensures durability and long-lasting comfort. Known for their dense weave and plush pile, Beni Mrirt rugs are among the finest Moroccan carpets, blending cultural tradition with modern appeal.

Why Choose a Blue Beni Mrirt Rug?

The Beni Mrirt Rug offers more than visual appeal. Its rich blue tones create a calming yet vibrant atmosphere, adding sophistication to any space.

Geometric patterns give structure and balance to your décor. Each rug is handwoven, making every piece unique and infused with heritage.

By choosing a Beni Mrirt rug, you are investing in both luxury and authenticity.

Traditional Berber Craftsmanship

Beni Mrirt rugs are handwoven by Berber women in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains. Artisans use techniques passed down through generations, tying each knot carefully to create a dense, silky pile.

Wool is locally sourced, washed, spun, and dyed using natural methods. The weaving process can take weeks or even months, depending on size and complexity.

This meticulous work ensures superior quality and one-of-a-kind beauty.

The Comfort of Wool

Wool is a natural fiber prized for its softness and resilience. In a Blue Beni Mrirt Rug, it provides:

  • Durability – Resists wear even in high-traffic areas.

  • Insulation – Keeps rooms warm in winter and cool in summer.

  • Comfort – Plush texture feels luxurious underfoot.

  • Sustainability – Wool is renewable and eco-friendly.

These qualities make the rug both functional and stylish.

Geometric Beauty and Symbolism

Geometric patterns are a hallmark of Beni Mrirt rugs. They reflect balance, harmony, and the artistry of Berber weavers.

  • Diamonds often symbolize protection and fertility.

  • Lines and grids represent life’s journey.

  • Symmetry adds a sense of calm and order.

Combined with rich blue wool, the patterns transform the rug into a visual statement.

Versatility in Home Design

The Blue Beni Mrirt Rug adapts to many interior styles:

  • Modern décor – Adds bold contrast against neutral furniture.

  • Classic homes – Enhances elegance with jewel tones and timeless motifs.

  • Bohemian spaces – Pairs beautifully with layered textiles and eclectic pieces.

  • Minimalist designs – Serves as the single bold accent in a calm setting.

Its large size makes it ideal for living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms.

Caring for Your Rug

Proper care extends the life and beauty of your rug:

  • Vacuum lightly with low suction.

  • Rotate occasionally to balance wear.

  • Clean spills promptly with mild soap and water.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals that damage natural fibers.

  • Use professional wool cleaning for deep care.

With regular care, your rug will age gracefully and grow softer over time.

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.

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.
