Moroccan Beni Ourain Wool Rug – Timeless Elegance from the Atlas Mountains
The Moroccan Beni Ourain Wool Rug is one of Morocco’s most iconic textiles, renowned for its minimal beauty and luxurious softness. Traditionally handwoven by the Berber tribes of the Atlas Mountains, these rugs were once used as warm bedding during cold winters. Crafted from 100% organic wool, each rug represents both comfort and cultural heritage, transforming your space with timeless design and natural warmth.
Today, authentic vintage Beni Ourain rugs are rare treasures, admired by collectors and designers worldwide.
Authentic Handwoven Craftsmanship
Every Beni Ourain wool rug is a work of living art, handwoven by Amazigh women in rural Morocco using ancestral techniques. Working on traditional wooden looms, these artisans spin, wash, and weave raw sheep’s wool by hand.
The result is a soft, heavy pile in shades of cream or white, intersected by simple black geometric lines. These designs, typically diamond motifs, represent spirituality, protection, and harmony—symbols deeply rooted in Berber culture. Each rug is a unique creation, never duplicated, carrying the weaver’s story and spirit within its fibers.
A Design Icon for Modern Interiors
With its minimalist diamond pattern and neutral palette, the Beni Ourain rug has become an enduring favorite of interior designers. Its understated beauty and tactile luxury suit both contemporary and traditional spaces.
The creamy background and contrasting black lines introduce warmth, depth, and sophistication. Whether layered over hardwood floors, placed beneath a modern coffee table, or used to anchor a living area, it instantly elevates any room with quiet elegance.
Natural Wool and Lasting Comfort
Handwoven from 100% pure, undyed sheep’s wool, this Moroccan rug offers unmatched softness and natural durability. The plush pile provides insulation and texture while maintaining breathability—a perfect balance between comfort and functionality.
The organic wool fibers retain their natural lanolin, giving the rug a subtle sheen and resistance to dust and stains. With age and use, it develops a patina that enhances its vintage charm and authenticity.
Symbolism in Every Thread
The distinctive diamond motifs that define the Beni Ourain rug are not merely decorative—they are expressions of life and spirituality. Each pattern reflects the artisan’s emotions, surroundings, and personal experiences.
Historically, these motifs served as talismans believed to ward off evil and bring blessings to the home. Today, they remain symbols of beauty, unity, and balance—woven stories that connect modern owners to ancient Moroccan culture.
A Global Design Staple
The influence of Moroccan Beni Ourain rugs extends far beyond North Africa. According to Architectural Digest, their “geometric simplicity and plush texture have become essentials in contemporary design.”
From Parisian lofts to New York penthouses, these rugs continue to define the intersection of authenticity and modern luxury. They offer warmth and soul in a design world often dominated by mass production and minimal expression.

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?
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.

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.
